Packer Plugin for HCI

This is a HashiCorp Packer plugin for creating image in a private cloud.

I wrote this plugin for learning.

Installation

Using pre-built releases

Using the packer init command

Starting from version 1.7, Packer supports a new packer init command allowing automatic installation of Packer plugins. Read the Packer documentation for more information.

To install this plugin, copy and paste this code into your Packer configuration . Then, run packer init.

packer {
  required_plugins {
    hci = {
      version = ">= 0.0.1"
      source  = "github.com/wangweihong/hci"
    }
  }
}

Install from source

If you prefer to build the plugin from source, clone the GitHub repository to $GOPATH/src/github.com/wangweihong/packer-plugin-hci.

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/wangweihong; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/wangwiehong
git clone git@github.com:wangweihong/packer-plugin-hci.git

Then enter the plugin directory and run make dev command to build the plugin.

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/wangweihong/packer-plugin-hci
make dev

Upon successful compilation, a packer-plugin-hci plugin binary file can be found in the directory. To install the compiled plugin, please follow the official Packer documentation on installing a plugin.

Configuration

For more information on how to configure the plugin, please read the documentation located in the docs/ directory or wiki.
