Packer Vagrant S3 post-processor

Uploads built Vagrant boxes to S3 and manages a manifest file for versioned boxes.

Installation

Install the binary (you'll need git and go):

$ go get github.com/lmars/packer-post-processor-vagrant-s3

Copy the plugin into packer.d directory:

$ mkdir $HOME/.packer.d/plugins
$ cp $GOPATH/bin/packer-post-processor-vagrant-s3 $HOME/.packer.d/plugins

Usage

Add the post-processor to your packer template after the vagrant post-processor:

{
  "variables": {
    "version":  "0.0.1"
    "box_name": "my-cool-project"
  },
  "builders": [ ... ],
  "provisioners": [ ... ],
  "post-processors": [
    [
      {
        "type": "vagrant"
        ...
      },
      {
        "type":     "vagrant-s3",
        "region": "us-east-1",
        "bucket":   "my-s3-bucket",
        "manifest": "vagrant/json/{{ user `box_name` }}.json",
        "box_name": "{{ user `box_name` }}",
        "box_dir":  "vagrant/boxes",
        "version":  "{{ user `version` }}"
      }
    ]
  ]
}

NOTE: The post-processors must be a nested array (i.e.: a Packer sequence definition) so that they run in order. See the Packer template documentation for more information.

The above will result in the following object created in S3, a manifest:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-s3-bucket/vagrant/json/my-cool-project.json

and a box:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-s3-bucket/vagrant/boxes/0.0.1/my-cool-project.box

By setting box_dir like this in your template.json file:

        "box_dir":  "vagrant/boxes/{{ user `box_name` }}",

Your can have your box version directories, nested underneath another directory named after your box.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-s3-bucket/vagrant/boxes/my-cool-project/0.0.1/my-cool-project.box

Configuration

All configuration properties are required, except where noted.

region

The S3 region of the bucket (please see next section).

Valid values:

• us-east-1
• us-gov-west-1
• us-west-1
• us-west-2
• eu-west-1
• eu-central-1
• ap-southeast-1
• ap-southeast-2
• ap-northeast-1
• sa-east-1
• cn-north-1

bucket

The S3 bucket name where you want to upload the box and the manifest.

manifest

The path to the manifest file in your bucket. If you don't have a manifest, don't worry, one will be created. We recommend that you name you manifest the same as your box.

This controls what users of your box will set vm.config.box_url to in their Vagrantfile (e.g. https://s3.amazonaws.com/my-s3-bucket/vagrant/manifest.json).

box_name

The name of your box.

This is what users of your box will set vm.config.box to in their Vagrantfile.

box_dir

The path to a directory in your bucket to store boxes in (e.g. vagrant/boxes).

version

The version of the box you are uploading. The box will be uploaded to a S3 directory path that includes the version number (e.g. vagrant/boxes/<version>).

Only one box can be uploaded per provider for a given version. If you are building an updated box, you should bump this version, meaning users of your box will be made aware of the new version.

acl (optional)

An access control setting for the uploaded files (both the manifest and box files).

Valid values:

• private
• public-read
• public-read-write (not recommended)
• authenticated-read
• bucket-owner-read
• bucket-owner-full-control

If not set, will use public-read.

access_key_id (optional)

Your AWS access key.

If not set, will use AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID environment variable.

secret_key (optional)

Your AWS secret key.

If not set, will use AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variable.

signed_expiry (optional)

If set, generate presigned urls in the manifest valid for a time duration like "60s" or "12h". See https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration for syntax.

If not set, generate normal s3 urls.
