- `communicator` (string) - Packer currently supports three kinds of communicators:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `none` - No communicator will be used. If this is set, most
|
|
|
|
|
provisioners also can't be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `ssh` - An SSH connection will be established to the machine. This
|
|
|
|
|
is usually the default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `winrm` - A WinRM connection will be established.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to the above, some builders have custom communicators they
|
|
|
|
|
can use. For example, the Docker builder has a "docker" communicator
|
|
|
|
|
that uses `docker exec` and `docker cp` to execute scripts and copy
|
|
|
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `pause_before_connecting` (duration string | ex: "1h5m2s") - We recommend that you enable SSH or WinRM as the very last step in your
|
|
|
|
|
guest's bootstrap script, but sometimes you may have a race condition where
|
|
|
|
|
you need Packer to wait before attempting to connect to your guest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you end up in this situation, you can use the template option
|
|
|
|
|
`pause_before_connecting`. By default, there is no pause. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
"communicator": "ssh",
|
|
|
|
|
"ssh_username": "myuser",
|
|
|
|
|
"pause_before_connecting": "10m"
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, Packer will check whether it can connect, as normal. But once
|
|
|
|
|
a connection attempt is successful, it will disconnect and then wait 10 minutes
|
|
|
|
|
before connecting to the guest and beginning provisioning.
