InitTime is the UTC time when this package was initialized. It is used as the timestamp for all configuration templates so that they match for a single build.

Functions

func VersionString added in v0.5.2 

func VersionString() string

VersionString returns the Packer version in human-readable form complete with pre-release and git commit info if it is available.

Types

type Artifact 

type Artifact interface {
	// Returns the ID of the builder that was used to create this artifact.
	// This is the internal ID of the builder and should be unique to every
	// builder. This can be used to identify what the contents of the
	// artifact actually are.
	BuilderId() string

	// Returns the set of files that comprise this artifact. If an
	// artifact is not made up of files, then this will be empty.
	Files() []string

	// The ID for the artifact, if it has one. This is not guaranteed to
	// be unique every run (like a GUID), but simply provide an identifier
	// for the artifact that may be meaningful in some way. For example,
	// for Amazon EC2, this value might be the AMI ID.
	Id() string

	// Returns human-readable output that describes the artifact created.
	// This is used for UI output. It can be multiple lines.
	String() string

	// Destroy deletes the artifact. Packer calls this for various reasons,
	// such as if a post-processor has processed this artifact and it is
	// no longer needed.
	Destroy() error
}

An Artifact is the result of a build, and is the metadata that documents what a builder actually created. The exact meaning of the contents is specific to each builder, but this interface is used to communicate back to the user the result of a build.

type BasicUi added in v0.3.0 

type BasicUi struct {
	Reader      io.Reader
	Writer      io.Writer
	ErrorWriter io.Writer
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

The BasicUI is a UI that reads and writes from a standard Go reader and writer. It is safe to be called from multiple goroutines. Machine readable output is simply logged for this UI.

func (*BasicUi) Ask added in v0.3.0 

func (rw *BasicUi) Ask(query string) (string, error)

func (*BasicUi) Error added in v0.3.0 

func (rw *BasicUi) Error(message string)

func (*BasicUi) Machine added in v0.3.0 

func (rw *BasicUi) Machine(t string, args ...string)

func (*BasicUi) Message added in v0.3.0 

func (rw *BasicUi) Message(message string)

func (*BasicUi) Say added in v0.3.0 

func (rw *BasicUi) Say(message string)

type Build 

type Build interface {
	// Name is the name of the build. This is unique across a single template,
	// but not absolutely unique. This is meant more to describe to the user
	// what is being built rather than being a unique identifier.
	Name() string

	// Prepare configures the various components of this build and reports
	// any errors in doing so (such as syntax errors, validation errors, etc.).
	// It also reports any warnings.
	Prepare() ([]string, error)

	// Run runs the actual builder, returning an artifact implementation
	// of what is built. If anything goes wrong, an error is returned.
	Run(Ui, Cache) ([]Artifact, error)

	// Cancel will cancel a running build. This will block until the build
	// is actually completely cancelled.
	Cancel()

	// SetDebug will enable/disable debug mode. Debug mode is always
	// enabled by adding the additional key "packer_debug" to boolean
	// true in the configuration of the various components. This must
	// be called prior to Prepare.
	//
	// When SetDebug is set to true, parallelism between builds is
	// strictly prohibited.
	SetDebug(bool)

	// SetForce will enable/disable forcing a build when artifacts exist.
	//
	// When SetForce is set to true, existing artifacts from the build are
	// deleted prior to the build.
	SetForce(bool)
}

A Build represents a single job within Packer that is responsible for building some machine image artifact. Builds are meant to be parallelized.

type Builder 

type Builder interface {
	// Prepare is responsible for configuring the builder and validating
	// that configuration. Any setup should be done in this method. Note that
	// NO side effects should take place in prepare, it is meant as a state
	// setup only. Calling Prepare is not necessarilly followed by a Run.
	//
	// The parameters to Prepare are a set of interface{} values of the
	// configuration. These are almost always `map[string]interface{}`
	// parsed from a template, but no guarantee is made.
	//
	// Each of the configuration values should merge into the final
	// configuration.
	//
	// Prepare should return a list of warnings along with any errors
	// that occured while preparing.
	Prepare(...interface{}) ([]string, error)

	// Run is where the actual build should take place. It takes a Build and a Ui.
	Run(ui Ui, hook Hook, cache Cache) (Artifact, error)

	// Cancel cancels a possibly running Builder. This should block until
	// the builder actually cancels and cleans up after itself.
	Cancel()
}

Implementers of Builder are responsible for actually building images on some platform given some configuration.

In addition to the documentation on Prepare above: Prepare is sometimes configured with a `map[string]interface{}` that has a key "packer_debug". This is a boolean value. If it is set to true, then the builder should enable a debug mode which allows builder developers and advanced users to introspect what is going on during a build. During debug builds, parallelism is strictly disabled, so it is safe to request input from stdin and so on.

type BuilderFunc 

type BuilderFunc func(name string) (Builder, error)

The function type used to lookup Builder implementations.

type Cache 

type Cache interface {
	// Lock takes a key and returns the path where the file can be written to.
	// Packer guarantees that no other process will write to this file while
	// the lock is held.
	//
	// If the key has an extension (e.g., file.ext), the resulting path
	// will have that extension as well.
	//
	// The cache will block and wait for the lock.
	Lock(string) string

	// Unlock will unlock a certain cache key. Be very careful that this
	// is only called once per lock obtained.
	Unlock(string)

	// RLock returns the path to a key in the cache and locks it for reading.
	// The second return parameter is whether the key existed or not.
	// This will block if any locks are held for writing. No lock will be
	// held if the key doesn't exist.
	RLock(string) (string, bool)

	// RUnlock will unlock a key for reading.
	RUnlock(string)
}

Cache implements a caching interface where files can be stored for re-use between multiple runs.

type ColoredUi 

type ColoredUi struct {
	Color      UiColor
	ErrorColor UiColor
	Ui         Ui
}

func (*ColoredUi) Message 

func (u *ColoredUi) Message(message string)

func (*ColoredUi) Say 

func (u *ColoredUi) Say(message string)

type Command 

type Command interface {
	// Help should return long-form help text that includes the command-line
	// usage, a brief few sentences explaining the function of the command,
	// and the complete list of flags the command accepts.
	Help() string

	// Run should run the actual command with the given environmet and
	// command-line arguments. It should return the exit status when it is
	// finished.
	Run(env Environment, args []string) int

	// Synopsis should return a one-line, short synopsis of the command.
	// This should be less than 50 characters ideally.
	Synopsis() string
}

A command is a runnable sub-command of the `packer` application. When `packer` is called with the proper subcommand, this will be called.

The mapping of command names to command interfaces is in the Environment struct.

type CommandFunc 

type CommandFunc func(name string) (Command, error)

The function type used to lookup Command implementations.

type Communicator 

type Communicator interface {
	// Start takes a RemoteCmd and starts it. The RemoteCmd must not be
	// modified after being used with Start, and it must not be used with
	// Start again. The Start method returns immediately once the command
	// is started. It does not wait for the command to complete. The
	// RemoteCmd.Exited field should be used for this.
	Start(*RemoteCmd) error

	// Upload uploads a file to the machine to the given path with the
	// contents coming from the given reader. This method will block until
	// it completes.
	Upload(string, io.Reader) error

	// UploadDir uploads the contents of a directory recursively to
	// the remote path. It also takes an optional slice of paths to
	// ignore when uploading.
	//
	// The folder name of the source folder should be created unless there
	// is a trailing slash on the source "/". For example: "/tmp/src" as
	// the source will create a "src" directory in the destination unless
	// a trailing slash is added. This is identical behavior to rsync(1).
	UploadDir(dst string, src string, exclude []string) error

	// Download downloads a file from the machine from the given remote path
	// with the contents writing to the given writer. This method will
	// block until it completes.
	Download(string, io.Writer) error
}

A Communicator is the interface used to communicate with the machine that exists that will eventually be packaged into an image. Communicators allow you to execute remote commands, upload files, etc.

Communicators must be safe for concurrency, meaning multiple calls to Start or any other method may be called at the same time.

type ComponentFinder 

type ComponentFinder struct {
	Builder       BuilderFunc
	Command       CommandFunc
	Hook          HookFunc

type ConfigTemplate struct {
	UserVars map[string]string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewEnvironment(config *EnvironmentConfig) (resultEnv Environment, err error)

This creates a new environment

type EnvironmentConfig 

type EnvironmentConfig struct {
	Cache      Cache

func (*FileCache) Unlock 

func (f *FileCache) Unlock(key string)

type Hook 

type Hook interface {
	Run(string, Ui, Communicator, interface{}) error
	Cancel()
}

A Hook is used to hook into an arbitrarily named location in a build, allowing custom behavior to run at certain points along a build.

Run is called when the hook is called, with the name of the hook and arbitrary data associated with it. To know what format the data is in, you must reference the documentation for the specific hook you're interested in. In addition to that, the Hook is given access to a UI so that it can output things to the user.

Cancel is called when the hook needs to be cancelled. This will usually be called when Run is still in progress so the mechanism that handles this must be race-free. Cancel should attempt to cancel the hook in the quickest, safest way possible.

	// is guaranteed to be connected to some machine so that provisioning
	// can be done.
	Provision(Ui, Communicator) error

	// Cancel is called to cancel the provisioning. This is usually called
	// while Provision is still being called. The Provisioner should act

}

RawVariable represents a variable configuration within a template.

type RemoteCmd 

type RemoteCmd struct {
	// Command is the command to run remotely. This is executed as if
	// it were a shell command, so you are expected to do any shell escaping

TargettedUi is a UI that wraps another UI implementation and modifies the output to indicate a specific target. Specifically, all Say output is prefixed with the target name. Message output is not prefixed but is offset by the length of the target so that output is lined up properly with Say output. Machine-readable output has the proper target set.

type Template 

type Template struct {
	Description    string
	Variables      map[string]RawVariable
	Builders       map[string]RawBuilderConfig
	Hooks          map[string][]string
	PostProcessors [][]RawPostProcessorConfig
	Provisioners   []RawProvisionerConfig
}

The Template struct represents a parsed template, parsed into the most completed form it can be without additional processing by the caller.

func ParseTemplate 

func ParseTemplate(data []byte, vars map[string]string) (t *Template, err error)

ParseTemplate takes a byte slice and parses a Template from it, returning the template and possibly errors while loading the template. The error could potentially be a MultiError, representing multiple errors. Knowing and checking for this can be useful, if you wish to format it in a certain way.

The second parameter, vars, are the values for a set of user variables.

func ParseTemplateFile added in v0.3.0 

func ParseTemplateFile(path string, vars map[string]string) (*Template, error)

ParseTemplateFile takes the given template file and parses it into a single template.

func (*Template) Build 

func (t *Template) Build(name string, components *ComponentFinder) (b Build, err error)

Build returns a Build for the given name.

If the build does not exist as part of this template, an error is returned.

func (*Template) BuildNames 

func (t *Template) BuildNames() []string

BuildNames returns a slice of the available names of builds that this template represents.

type TemplateOnlyExcept added in v0.3.8 

type TemplateOnlyExcept struct {
	Only   []string
	Except []string
}

TemplateOnlyExcept contains the logic required for "only" and "except" meta-parameters.

func (*TemplateOnlyExcept) Prune added in v0.3.8 

func (t *TemplateOnlyExcept) Prune(raw map[string]interface{})

Prune will prune out the used values from the raw map.

func (*TemplateOnlyExcept) Skip added in v0.3.8 

func (t *TemplateOnlyExcept) Skip(name string) bool

Skip tests if we should skip putting this item onto a build.

func (*TemplateOnlyExcept) Validate added in v0.3.8 

func (t *TemplateOnlyExcept) Validate(b map[string]RawBuilderConfig) (e []error)

Validates the only/except parameters.

type Ui 

type Ui interface {
	Ask(string) (string, error)
	Say(string)
	Message(string)
	Error(string)
	Machine(string, ...string)
}

The Ui interface handles all communication for Packer with the outside world. This sort of control allows us to strictly control how output is formatted and various levels of output.

type UiColor 

type UiColor uint
