The packer templates we use to create our Virtual Machine templates for AuroraCompute

Packer Templates

This repository contains configurations and scripts to build templates to be used in AuroraCompute.

These are Linux or *BSD based templates which can be generated using Packer.io.

Packer version >= 0.12.1 is required

Usage

Run ./build.sh <template> to build a template

All templates can be found in templates/ directory.

Examples

To build a single template:

$ ./build.sh ubuntu1604

To build all templates:

$ find templates/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf "%f\n"|xargs -n 1 ./build.sh

Requirements

Make sure that packer, qemu-img, qemu-system and virt-resize are installed. Packer can be obtained from Packer.io. Unzip and place in /usr/local/sbin or ~/sbin.

Downloads

At PCextreme we use Gitlab CI to automatically build the templates from this Git repository.

The results are afterwards uploaded to AuroraObjects from where they are available to download.

Take the Ubuntu 16.04 template for example, both the 20G, 50G and 100G version can be downloaded:

• http://packer-templates.o.auroraobjects.eu/ubuntu1604-20G.qcow2
• http://packer-templates.o.auroraobjects.eu/ubuntu1604-50G.qcow2
• http://packer-templates.o.auroraobjects.eu/ubuntu1604-100G.qcow2

You can replace ubuntu1604 by any directory found in the templates directory.
