If you are or were a user of Veewee, then there is an official tool called
|
|
||||||
veewee-to-packer that will convert your Veewee definition into an equivalent
|
|
||||||
Packer template. Even if you're not a Veewee user, Veewee has a large library
|
|
||||||
of templates that can be readily used with Packer by simply converting them.

# Veewee-to-Packer
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are or were a user of [Veewee](https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee), then
|
|
||||||
there is an official tool called
|
|
||||||
[veewee-to-packer](https://github.com/mitchellh/veewee-to-packer) that will
|
|
||||||
convert your Veewee definition into an equivalent Packer template. Even if
|
|
||||||
you're not a Veewee user, Veewee has a [large
|
|
||||||
library](https://github.com/jedi4ever/veewee/tree/master/templates) of templates
|
|
||||||
that can be readily used with Packer by simply converting them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Installation and Usage
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Since Veewee itself is a Ruby project, so too is the veewee-to-packer
|
|
||||||
application so that it can read the Veewee configurations. Install it using
|
|
||||||
RubyGems:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell-session
|
|
||||||
$ gem install veewee-to-packer
|
|
||||||
# ...
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once installed, just point `veewee-to-packer` at the `definition.rb` file of any
|
|
||||||
template. The converter will output any warnings or messages about the conversion.
|
|
||||||
The example below converts a CentOS template:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```shell-session
|
|
||||||
$ veewee-to-packer templates/CentOS-6.4/definition.rb
|
|
||||||
Success! Your Veewee definition was converted to a Packer
|
|
||||||
template! The template can be found in the `template.json` file
|
|
||||||
in the output directory: output
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Please be sure to run `packer validate` against the new template
|
|
||||||
to verify settings are correct. Be sure to `cd` into the directory
|
|
||||||
first, since the template has relative paths that expect you to
|
|
||||||
use it from the same working directory.
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**_Voila!_** By default, `veewee-to-packer` will output a template that contains
|
|
||||||
a builder for both VirtualBox and VMware. You can use the `-only` flag on
|
|
||||||
`packer build` to only build one of them. Otherwise you can use the `--builder`
|
|
||||||
flag on `veewee-to-packer` to only output specific builder configurations.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Limitations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
None, really. The tool will tell you if it can't convert a part of a template,
|
|
||||||
and whether that is a critical error or just a warning. Most of Veewee's
|
|
||||||
functions translate perfectly over to Packer. There are still a couple missing
|
|
||||||
features in Packer, but they're minimal.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Bugs
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you find any bugs, please report them to the [veewee-to-packer issue
|
|
||||||
tracker](https://github.com/mitchellh/veewee-to-packer). I haven't been able to
|
|
||||||
exhaustively test every Veewee template, so there are certainly some edge cases
|
|
||||||
out there.
