packer-esxi's Introduction

packer-esxi

A set of example Packer templates for building Debian and Ubuntu boxes on VMware ESXi. These are built on the remote ESXi host, then shut down and left registered. A lot of this work comes out of boxes, which provides the basic template formation.

They assume that it's possible to fetch an IP through DHCP on the primary (VM Network) network. If this isn't the case, you can adjust the boot command to set a static IP.

This example repo comes out of this post I wrote on how to use Packer with VMware ESXi.

Usage

packer build -var-file variables.json ubuntu-1604-base.json

Ensure that variables.json contains valid values.

Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04?

Do you have any interest in adding Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 support? How difficult is this if I wanted to contribute that?
