### Required: ### Required:
- `vm_name` (string) - This is the name of the virtual machine to which the @include 'builder/virtualbox/vm/Config-required.mdx'
builder shall attach.
### Optional: ### Optional:
- `attach_snapshot` (string) - Default to `null/empty`. The name of an @include 'builder/virtualbox/vm/Config-not-required.mdx'
**existing** snapshot to which the builder shall attach the VM before
starting it. If no snapshot is specified the builder will simply start the
VM from it's current state i.e. snapshot.
- `boot_command` (array of strings) - This is an array of commands to type @include 'builder/virtualbox/common/VBoxVersionConfig-not-required.mdx'
when the virtual machine is first booted. The goal of these commands should
be to type just enough to initialize the operating system installer. Special
keys can be typed as well, and are covered in the section below on the
boot command. If this is not specified, it is assumed the installer will
start itself.
- `boot_wait` (string) - The time to wait after booting the initial virtual #### Optional:
machine before typing the `boot_command`. The value of this should be
a duration. Examples are `5s` and `1m30s` which will cause Packer to wait
five seconds and one minute 30 seconds, respectively. If this isn't
specified, the default is `10s` or 10 seconds.
- `export_opts` (array of strings) - Additional options to pass to the @include 'builder/virtualbox/common/ShutdownConfig-not-required.mdx'
[VBoxManage
export](https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#vboxmanage-export). This
can be useful for passing product information to include in the resulting
appliance file. Packer JSON configuration file example:
```json ### Http directory configuration
{
"type": "virtualbox-vm",
"export_opts": [
"--manifest",
"--vsys",
"0",
"--description",
"{{user `vm_description`}}",
"--version",
"{{user `vm_version`}}"
],
"format": "ova"
}
```
A VirtualBox [VM @include 'common/HTTPConfig.mdx'
description](https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#vboxmanage-export-ovf)
may contain arbitrary strings; the GUI interprets HTML formatting. However,
the JSON format does not allow arbitrary newlines within a value. Add a
multi-line description by preparing the string in the shell before the
packer call like this (shell `>` continuation character snipped for easier
copy & paste):
```shell #### Optional:
vm_description='some
multiline
description'
vm_version='0.2.0' @include 'common/HTTPConfig-not-required.mdx'
packer build \ ### Floppy configuration
-var "vm_description=${vm_description}" \
-var "vm_version=${vm_version}" \
"packer_conf.json"
```
- `floppy_dirs` (array of strings) - A list of directories to place onto @include 'common/FloppyConfig.mdx'
the floppy disk recursively. This is similar to the `floppy_files` option
except that the directory structure is preserved. This is useful for when
your floppy disk includes drivers or if you just want to organize it's
contents as a hierarchy. Wildcard characters (\*, ?, and \[\]) are allowed.
- `floppy_files` (array of strings) - A list of files to place onto a floppy #### Optional:
disk that is attached when the VM is booted. This is most useful for
unattended Windows installs, which look for an `Autounattend.xml` file on
removable media. By default, no floppy will be attached. All files listed in
this setting get placed into the root directory of the floppy and the floppy
is attached as the first floppy device. Currently, no support exists for
creating sub-directories on the floppy. Wildcard characters (\*, ?,
and \[\]) are allowed. Directory names are also allowed, which will add all
the files found in the directory to the floppy.
- `force_delete_snapshot` (boolean) - Defaults to `false`. If set to `true`, @include 'common/FloppyConfig-not-required.mdx'
overwrite an existing `target_snapshot`. Otherwise the builder will yield an
error if the specified target snapshot already exists.
- `format` (string) - Either `ovf` or `ova`, this specifies the output format ### Export configuration
of the exported virtual machine. This defaults to `ovf`.
- `guest_additions_interface` (string) - The interface type to use to mount #### Optional:
guest additions when `guest_additions_mode` is set to `attach`. Will
default to the value set in `iso_interface`, if `iso_interface` is set.
Will default to "ide", if `iso_interface` is not set. Options are "ide" and
"sata".
- `guest_additions_mode` (string) - The method by which guest additions are @include 'builder/virtualbox/common/ExportConfig-not-required.mdx'
made available to the guest for installation. Valid options are `upload`,
`attach`, or `disable`. If the mode is `attach` the guest additions ISO will
be attached as a CD device to the virtual machine. If the mode is `upload`
the guest additions ISO will be uploaded to the path specified by
`guest_additions_path`. The default value is `upload`. If `disable` is used,
guest additions won't be downloaded, either.
- `guest_additions_path` (string) - The path on the guest virtual machine ### Output configuration
where the VirtualBox guest additions ISO will be uploaded. By default this
is `VBoxGuestAdditions.iso` which should upload into the login directory of
the user. This is a [configuration
template](/docs/templates/engine) where the `Version`
variable is replaced with the VirtualBox version.
- `guest_additions_sha256` (string) - The SHA256 checksum of the guest #### Optional:
additions ISO that will be uploaded to the guest VM. By default the
checksums will be downloaded from the VirtualBox website, so this only needs
to be set if you want to be explicit about the checksum.
- `guest_additions_url` (string) - The URL to the guest additions ISO @include 'builder/virtualbox/common/OutputConfig-not-required.mdx'
to upload. This can also be a file URL if the ISO is at a local path. By
default, the VirtualBox builder will attempt to find the guest additions ISO
on the local file system. If it is not available locally, the builder will
download the proper guest additions ISO from the internet.
- `guest_os_type` (string) - The guest OS type being installed. By default ### Run configuration
this is `other`, but you can get _dramatic_ performance improvements by
setting this to the proper value. To view all available values for this run
`VBoxManage list ostypes`. Setting the correct value hints to VirtualBox how
to optimize the virtual hardware to work best with that operating system.
- `headless` (boolean) - Packer defaults to building VirtualBox virtual #### Optional:
machines by launching a GUI that shows the console of the machine
being built. When this value is set to `true`, the machine will start
without a console.
- `http_directory` (string) - Path to a directory to serve using an @include 'builder/virtualbox/common/RunConfig-not-required.mdx'
HTTP server. The files in this directory will be available over HTTP that
will be requestable from the virtual machine. This is useful for hosting
kickstart files and so on. By default this is an empty string, which means
no HTTP server will be started. The address and port of the HTTP server will
be available as variables in `boot_command`. This is covered in more detail
below.
- `http_port_min` and `http_port_max` (number) - These are the minimum and
maximum port to use for the HTTP server started to serve the
`http_directory`. Because Packer often runs in parallel, Packer will choose
a randomly available port in this range to run the HTTP server. If you want
to force the HTTP server to be on one port, make this minimum and maximum
port the same. By default the values are `8000` and `9000`, respectively.
- `keep_registered` (boolean) - Set this to `true` if you would like to keep
the VM attached to the snapshot specified by `attach_snapshot`. Otherwise
the builder will reset the VM to the snapshot to which the VM was attached
before the builder started. Defaults to `false`.
- `output_directory` (string) - This is the path to the directory where the
resulting virtual machine will be created. This may be relative or absolute.
If relative, the path is relative to the working directory when `packer`
is executed. This directory must not exist or be empty prior to running
the builder. By default this is `output-BUILDNAME` where "BUILDNAME" is the
name of the build.
- `skip_export` (boolean) - Defaults to `false`. When enabled, Packer will
not export the VM. Useful if the builder should be applied again on the created
target snapshot.
@include 'builder/virtualbox/common/CommConfig-not-required.mdx'
- `target_snapshot` (string) - Default to `null/empty`. The name of the
snapshot which shall be created after all provisioners has been run by the
builder. If no target snapshot is specified and `keep_registered` is set to
`false` the builder will revert to the snapshot to which the VM was attached
before the builder has been executed, which will revert all changes applied
by the provisioners. This is handy if only an export shall be created and no
further snapshot is required.
- `vboxmanage` (array of array of strings) - Custom `VBoxManage` commands to
execute in order to further customize the virtual machine being created. The
value of this is an array of commands to execute. The commands are executed
in the order defined in the template. For each command, the command is
defined itself as an array of strings, where each string represents a single
argument on the command-line to `VBoxManage` (but excluding
`VBoxManage` itself). Each arg is treated as a [configuration
template](/docs/templates/engine), where the `Name`
variable is replaced with the VM name. More details on how to use
`VBoxManage` are below.
- `vboxmanage_post` (array of array of strings) - Identical to `vboxmanage`,
except that it is run after the virtual machine is shutdown, and before the
virtual machine is exported.
- `virtualbox_version_file` (string) - The path within the virtual machine to
upload a file that contains the VirtualBox version that was used to create
the machine. This information can be useful for provisioning. By default
this is `.vbox_version`, which will generally be uploaded into the home
directory. Set to an empty string to skip uploading this file, which can be
useful when using the `none` communicator.
- `vrdp_bind_address` (string / IP address) - The IP address that should be
binded to for VRDP. By default packer will use `127.0.0.1` for this. If you
wish to bind to all interfaces use `0.0.0.0`.
- `vrdp_port_min` and `vrdp_port_max` (number) - The minimum and maximum port
to use for VRDP access to the virtual machine. Packer uses a randomly chosen
port in this range that appears available. By default this is `5900` to
`6000`. The minimum and maximum ports are inclusive.
