The checksum post-processor computes specified checksum for the artifact list
|
|
from an upstream builder or post-processor. All downstream post-processors will
|
|
see the new artifacts. The primary use-case is compute checksum for artifacts
|
|
allows to verify it later. So firstly this post-processor get artifact, compute
|
|
it checksum and pass to next post-processor original artifacts and checksum
|
|
files.

# Checksum Post-Processor
|
|
|
|
Type: `checksum`
|
|
|
|
The checksum post-processor computes specified checksum for the artifact list
|
|
from an upstream builder or post-processor. All downstream post-processors will
|
|
see the new artifacts. The primary use-case is compute checksum for artifact to
|
|
verify it later.
|
|
|
|
After computes checksum for artifacts, you can use new artifacts with other
|
|
post-processors like
|
|
[artifice](https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/artifice.html),
|
|
[compress](https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/compress.html),
|
|
[docker-push](https://www.packer.io/docs/post-processors/docker-push.html), or
|
|
a third-party post-processor.
|
|
|
|
## Basic example
|
|
|
|
The example below is fully functional.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "checksum"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Reference
|
|
|
|
Optional parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `checksum_types` (array of strings) - An array of strings of checksum types
|
|
to compute. Allowed values are md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512.
|
|
|
|
- `keep_input_artifact` (boolean) - Unlike most post-processors, setting
|
|
`keep_input_artifact` will have no effect; the checksum post-processor
|
|
always saves the artifact that it is calculating the checksum for.
|
|
|
|
- `output` (string) - Specify filename to store checksums. This defaults to
|
|
`packer_{{.BuildName}}_{{.BuilderType}}_{{.ChecksumType}}.checksum`. For
|
|
example, if you had a builder named `database`, you might see the file
|
|
written as `packer_database_docker_md5.checksum`. This is treated as a
|
|
[template engine](/docs/templates/engine.html). Therefore, you
|
|
may use user variables and template functions in this field.
|
|
The following special variables are also available to use in the output
|
|
template:
|
|
|
|
- `BuildName`: The name of the builder that produced the artifact.
|
|
- `BuilderType`: The type of builder used to produce the artifact.
|
|
- `ChecksumType`: The type of checksums the file contains. This should be
|
|
used if you have more than one value in `checksum_types`.
