## Installation instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0. It is supposed that you already have Go(and [Packer](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer)), [Docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) and [Glide](https://github.com/Masterminds/glide) set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Download the sourcces from [github.com/LizaTretyakova/packer-builder-vsphere](github.com/LizaTretyakova/packer-builder-vsphere)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. `cd` to `$GOPATH/go/src/github.com/LizaTretyakova/packer-builder-vsphere` (or wherever it was downloaded)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Build the binaries
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ sudo docker-compose up
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. The template for this builder is like following:
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"variables": {
|
||
|
|
"url": "{{env `YOUR_VSPHERE_URL`}}",
|
||
|
|
"username": "{{env `YOUR_VSPHERE_USERNAME`}}",
|
||
|
|
"password": "{{env `YOUR_VSPHERE_PASSWORD`}}",
|
||
|
|
"ssh_username": "{{env `TEMPLATE_VM_SSH_USERNAME`}}",
|
||
|
|
"ssh_password": "{{env `TEMPLATE_VM_SSH_PASSWORD`}}",
|
||
|
|
"dc_name": "{{env `TEMPLATE_VM_DATACENTER`}}",
|
||
|
|
"template": "{{env `TEMPLATE_VM_NAME`}}"
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
"builders": [
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"type": "vsphere",
|
||
|
|
"url": "{{user `url`}}",
|
||
|
|
"username": "{{user `username`}}",
|
||
|
|
"password": "{{user `password`}}",
|
||
|
|
"ssh_username": "{{user `ssh_username`}}",
|
||
|
|
"ssh_password": "{{user `ssh_password`}}",
|
||
|
|
"dc_name": "{{user `dc_name`}}",
|
||
|
|
"template": "{{user `template`}}",
|
||
|
|
"vm_name": "new_vm_name",
|
||
|
|
"RAM": "1024",
|
||
|
|
"cpus": "2",
|
||
|
|
"shutdown_command": "echo '{{user `ssh_password`}}' | sudo -S shutdown -P now"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
where `vm_name`, `RAM`, `cpus` and `shutdown_command` are parameters of the new VM.
|
||
|
|
Parameters `ssh_*`, `dc_name` (datacenter name) and `template` (the name of the base VM) are for the base VM,
|
||
|
|
on which you are creating the new one (note, that VMWare Tools should be already installed on this template machine).
|
||
|
|
`url`, `username` and `password` are your vSphere parameters.
|
||
|
|
You need to set the appropriate values in the `variables` section before proceeding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Now you can go to the `bin/` directory
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ cd ./bin
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
and try the builder
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ packer build template.json
|
||
|
|
```
|
