# 1&1 Builder

Type: `oneandone`

The 1&1 Builder is able to create virtual machines for
[1&1](https://www.1and1.com/).

## Configuration Reference

There are many configuration options available for the builder. They are
segmented below into two categories: required and optional parameters. Within
each category, the available configuration keys are alphabetized.

In addition to the options listed here, a
[communicator](/docs/templates/communicator) can be configured for this
builder. In addition to the options defined there, a private key file
can also be supplied to override the typical auto-generated key:

@include 'helper/communicator/SSH-Private-Key-File-not-required.mdx'

### Required

  environment variable `ONEANDONE_TOKEN`

### Optional

  "US", "GB", "DE". Default value "US"

- `disk_size` (string) - Amount of disk space for this image in GB. Defaults
  to "50"

- `image_name` (string) - Resulting image. If "image_name" is not provided
  Packer will generate it

- `retries` (number) - Number of retries Packer will make status requests
  while waiting for the build to complete. Default value "600".
