# DigitalOcean Import Post-Processor
|
|
|
|
Type: `digitalocean-import`
|
|
|
|
The Packer DigitalOcean Import post-processor takes an image artifact from
|
|
various builders and imports it to DigitalOcean.
|
|
|
|
## How Does it Work?
|
|
|
|
The import process operates uploading a temporary copy of the image to
|
|
DigitalOcean Spaces and then importing it as a custom image via the
|
|
DigialOcean API. The temporary copy in Spaces can be discarded after the
|
|
import is complete.
|
|
|
|
For information about the requirements to use an image for a DigitalOcean
|
|
Droplet, see DigitalOcean's [Custom Images documentation](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/images/custom-images/overview/).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
There are some configuration options available for the post-processor.
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
|
|
- `api_token` (string) - A personal access token used to communicate with
|
|
the DigitalOcean v2 API. This may also be set using the
|
|
`DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN` environmental variable.
|
|
|
|
- `spaces_key` (string) - The access key used to communicate with Spaces.
|
|
This may also be set using the `DIGITALOCEAN_SPACES_ACCESS_KEY`
|
|
environmental variable.
|
|
|
|
- `spaces_secret` (string) - The secret key used to communicate with Spaces.
|
|
This may also be set using the `DIGITALOCEAN_SPACES_SECRET_KEY`
|
|
environmental variable.
|
|
|
|
- `spaces_region` (string) - The name of the region, such as `nyc3`, in which
|
|
to upload the image to Spaces.
|
|
|
|
- `space_name` (string) - The name of the specific Space where the image file
|
|
will be copied to for import. This Space must exist when the
|
|
post-processor is run.
|
|
|
|
- `image_name` (string) - The name to be used for the resulting DigitalOcean
|
|
custom image.
|
|
|
|
- `image_regions` (array of string) - A list of DigitalOcean regions, such
|
|
as `nyc3`, where the resulting image will be available for use in creating
|
|
Droplets.
|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
|
|
- `image_description` (string) - The description to set for the resulting
|
|
imported image.
|
|
|
|
- `image_distribution` (string) - The name of the distribution to set for
|
|
the resulting imported image.
|
|
|
|
- `image_tags` (array of strings) - A list of tags to apply to the resulting
|
|
imported image.
|
|
|
|
- `keep_input_artifact` (boolean) - if true, do not delete the source virtual
|
|
machine image after importing it to the cloud. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
- `skip_clean` (boolean) - Whether we should skip removing the image file
|
|
uploaded to Spaces after the import process has completed. "true" means
|
|
that we should leave it in the Space, "false" means to clean it out.
|
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
- `space_object_name` (string) - The name of the key used in the Space where
|
|
the image file will be copied to for import. This is treated as a
|
|
[template engine](/docs/templates/engine.html). Therefore, you
|
|
may use user variables and template functions in this field.
|
|
If not specified, this will default to `packer-import-{{timestamp}}`.
|
|
|
|
- `timeout` (number) - The length of time in minutes to wait for individual
|
|
steps in the process to successfully complete. This includes both importing
|
|
the image from Spaces as well as distributing the resulting image to
|
|
additional regions. If not specified, this will default to 20.
|
|
|
|
