* Update docs on ebs encrypt_boot to clarify that packer will not override global account settings * Update struct-markdown generator and regenerate partials with new website location. This overwrites some linting that got automatically applied when the files got moved

- `format` (string) - Either ovf or ova, this specifies the output format
|
|
of the exported virtual machine. This defaults to ovf.
|
|
|
|
- `export_opts` ([]string) - Additional options to pass to the [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:
|
|
|
|
In JSON:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "virtualbox-iso",
|
|
"export_opts":
|
|
[
|
|
"--manifest",
|
|
"--vsys", "0",
|
|
"--description", "{{user `vm_description`}}",
|
|
"--version", "{{user `vm_version`}}"
|
|
],
|
|
"format": "ova",
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In HCL2:
|
|
```hcl
|
|
source "virtualbox-iso" "basic-example" {
|
|
export_opts = [
|
|
"--manifest",
|
|
"--vsys", "0",
|
|
"--description", "{{user `vm_description`}}",
|
|
"--version", "{{user `vm_version`}}"
|
|
]
|
|
format = "ova"
|
|
}
|
|
```

A VirtualBox [VM
|
|
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
|
|
vm_description='some
|
|
multiline
|
|
description'
|
|
|
|
vm_version='0.2.0'
|
|
|
|
packer build \
|
|
-var "vm_description=${vm_description}" \
|
|
-var "vm_version=${vm_version}" \
|
|
"packer_conf.json"
|
|
```
