## ISO Configuration Reference
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, Packer will symlink, download or copy image files to the Packer
|
||
|
cache into a "`hash($iso_url+$iso_checksum).$iso_target_extension`" file.
|
||
|
Packer uses [hashicorp/go-getter](https://github.com/hashicorp/go-getter) in
|
||
|
file mode in order to perform a download.
|
||
|
|
||
|
go-getter supports the following protocols:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Local files
|
||
|
* Git
|
||
|
* Mercurial
|
||
|
* HTTP
|
||
|
* Amazon S3
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
\~> On windows - when referencing a local iso - if packer is running without
|
||
|
symlinking rights, the iso will be copied to the cache folder. Read [Symlinks
|
||
|
in Windows 10
|
||
|
!](https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/12/02/symlinks-windows-10/) for
|
||
|
more info.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Required:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `iso_checksum` (string) - The checksum for the ISO file or virtual hard
|
||
|
drive file. The algorithm to use when computing the checksum can be
|
||
|
optionally specified with `iso_checksum_type`. When `iso_checksum_type` is
|
||
|
not set packer will guess the checksumming type based on `iso_checksum`
|
||
|
length. `iso_checksum` can be also be a file or an URL, in which case
|
||
|
`iso_checksum_type` must be set to `file`; the go-getter will download it
|
||
|
and use the first hash found.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `iso_url` (string) - A URL to the ISO containing the installation image or
|
||
|
virtual hard drive (VHD or VHDX) file to clone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Optional:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `iso_checksum_type` (string) - The algorithm to be used when computing the
|
||
|
checksum of the file specified in `iso_checksum`. Currently, valid values
|
||
|
are "", "none", "md5", "sha1", "sha256", "sha512" or "file". Since the
|
||
|
validity of ISO and virtual disk files are typically crucial to a
|
||
|
successful build, Packer performs a check of any supplied media by default.
|
||
|
While setting "none" will cause Packer to skip this check, corruption of
|
||
|
large files such as ISOs and virtual hard drives can occur from time to
|
||
|
time. As such, skipping this check is not recommended. `iso_checksum_type`
|
||
|
must be set to `file` when `iso_checksum` is an url.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `iso_checksum_url` (string) - A URL to a checksum file containing a
|
||
|
checksum for the ISO file. At least one of `iso_checksum` and
|
||
|
`iso_checksum_url` must be defined. `iso_checksum_url` will be ignored if
|
||
|
`iso_checksum` is non empty.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `iso_target_extension` (string) - The extension of the iso file after
|
||
|
download. This defaults to `iso`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `iso_target_path` (string) - The path where the iso should be saved after
|
||
|
download. By default will go in the packer cache, with a hash of the
|
||
|
original filename and checksum as its name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `iso_urls` (array of strings) - Multiple URLs for the ISO to download.
|
||
|
Packer will try these in order. If anything goes wrong attempting to
|
||
|
download or while downloading a single URL, it will move on to the next.
|
||
|
All URLs must point to the same file (same checksum). By default this is
|
||
|
empty and `iso_url` is used. Only one of `iso_url` or `iso_urls` can be
|
||
|
specified.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Example ISO configurations
|
||
|
|
||
|
go-getter can guess the checksum type based on `iso_checksum` len.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` json
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
"iso_checksum": "946a6077af6f5f95a51f82fdc44051c7aa19f9cfc5f737954845a6050543d7c2",
|
||
|
"iso_url": "ubuntu.org/.../ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.iso"
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
``` json
|

|

|
||
|
"iso_checksum_type": "file",
|
||
|
"iso_checksum": "ubuntu.org/..../ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.iso.sum",
|
||
|
"iso_url": "ubuntu.org/.../ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.iso"
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|

``` json
|

"iso_checksum_url": "./shasums.txt",
|
||
|
"iso_url": "ubuntu.org/.../ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.iso"
|
||
|
}
|

```
