Null Builder
Type: null
The null
Packer builder is not really a builder, it just sets up an SSH connection
and runs the provisioners. It can be used to debug provisioners without
incurring high wait times. It does not create any kind of image or artifact.
Basic Example
Below is a fully functioning example. It doesn't do anything useful, since no provisioners are defined, but it will connect to the specified host via ssh.
{
"type": "null",
"ssh_host": "127.0.0.1",
"ssh_username": "foo",
"ssh_password": "bar"
}
Configuration Reference
The null builder has no configuration parameters other than the communicator settings.
