symbols/packer-virtualbox repository overview

⁠Packer on Virtualbox for Docker

This is a Debian-based container with Packer installed and Virtualbox as the available provider.

Virtualbox modules and services need to be installed and running on your host.

VT-x will be required if using this image on a VM. In order to use Virtualbox this container must be run with the --privileged and --net=host parameters. Please be aware of the security implications of this.

The default command is a script that calls 'packer build' for all .json files in the /packer directory.

You should mount your directory containing your Packer project in /packer.

Example:

    docker run -t -v ~/my/packer/project:/packer --privileged symbols/packer-virtualbox
