This directory contains packer templates to create images from provisioned VMs
You can install packer using the steps in their documentation. For Fedora and Red Hat flavor distributions, be aware there can be another executable installed named packer, so you will have to install the packer executable under another name or call it with an absolute path. See their documentation for more info
From this directory, use packer build followed by the json packer template to create an image
For example: packer build centos7-katello-devel-stable.json
You can create a box image using the above command and then add that box to vagrant:
vagrant box add --name centos7-katello-devel-stable centos7-katello-devel-stable.box
Then you can use it in a box definition. For the box built with centos7-katello-devel-stable.json, you will need to use the stable hostname.
centos7-katello-devel-stable:
box_name: centos7-katello-devel-stable
hostname: centos7-katello-devel-stable.example.com
You can then vagrant up centos7-katello-devel-stable
If you want to completely remove the box, be sure to remove from both vagrant and virsh. This can be helpful if you have built a new packer box image and want to use it.
vagrant box remove centos7-katello-devel-stable
sudo virsh vol-delete --pool default centos7-katello-devel-stable_vagrant_box_image_0.img
The centos7-katello-devel-stable box is published to Vagrant cloud on a nightly basis to ensure an image with the latest changes is available. This box is only published if the Katello install is successful.
