The Scaleway Packer builder is able to create new images for use with Scaleway BareMetal and Virtual cloud server. The builder takes a source image, runs any provisioning necessary on the image after launching it, then snapshots it into a reusable image. This reusable image can then be used as the foundation of new servers that are launched within Scaleway.	docs	Scaleway - Builders	docs-builders-scaleway

Scaleway Builder

Type: scaleway

The scaleway Packer builder is able to create new images for use with Scaleway. The builder takes a source image, runs any provisioning necessary on the image after launching it, then snapshots it into a reusable image. This reusable image can then be used as the foundation of new servers that are launched within Scaleway.

The builder does not manage snapshots. Once it creates an image, it is up to you to use it or delete it.

Basic Example

Here is a basic example. It is completely valid as soon as you enter your own access tokens:

{
  "type": "scaleway",
  "api_access_key": "YOUR API ACCESS KEY",
  "api_token": "YOUR TOKEN",
  "image": "UUID OF THE BASE IMAGE",
  "region": "par1",
  "commercial_type": "START1-S",
  "ssh_username": "root",
  "ssh_private_key_file": "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
}

When you do not specified the ssh_private_key_file, a temporarily SSH keypair is generated to connect the server. This key will only allow the root user to connect the server.
