# OpenStack Builder
Type: `openstack`
The `openstack` Packer builder is able to create new images for use with
[OpenStack](http://www.openstack.org). The builder takes a source image, runs
any provisioning necessary on the image after launching it, then creates a new
reusable image. This reusable image can then be used as the foundation of new
servers that are launched within OpenStack. The builder will create temporary
keypairs that provide temporary access to the server while the image is being
created. This simplifies configuration quite a bit.
The builder does *not* manage images. Once it creates an image, it is up to you
to use it or delete it.
\~> **Note:** To use OpenStack builder with the OpenStack Newton (Oct 2016)
or earlier, we recommend you use Packer v1.1.2 or earlier version.
\~> **OpenStack Liberty or later requires OpenSSL!** To use the OpenStack
builder with OpenStack Liberty (Oct 2015) or later you need to have OpenSSL
installed *if you are using temporary key pairs*, i.e. don't use
[`ssh_keypair_name`](openstack.html#ssh_keypair_name) nor
[`ssh_password`](/docs/templates/communicator.html#ssh_password). All major
OS'es have OpenSSL installed by default except Windows. This have been resolved
in OpenStack Ocata(Feb 2017).
\~> **Note:** OpenStack Block Storage volume support is available only for
V3 Block Storage API. It's available in OpenStack since Mitaka release (Apr
2016).
## Configuration Reference
There are many configuration options available for the builder. They are
segmented below into two categories: required and optional parameters. Within
each category, the available configuration keys are alphabetized.
In addition to the options listed here, a
[communicator](/docs/templates/communicator.html) can be configured for this
builder.
### Required:
- `flavor` (string) - The ID, name, or full URL for the desired flavor for
the server to be created.
- `image_name` (string) - The name of the resulting image.
- `identity_endpoint` (string) - The URL to the OpenStack Identity service.
If not specified, Packer will use the environment variables `OS_AUTH_URL`,
if set. This is not required if using `cloud.yaml`.
- `source_image` (string) - The ID or full URL to the base image to use. This
is the image that will be used to launch a new server and provision it.
Unless you specify completely custom SSH settings, the source image must
have `cloud-init` installed so that the keypair gets assigned properly.
- `source_image_name` (string) - The name of the base image to use. This is
an alternative way of providing `source_image` and only either of them can
be specified.
- `source_image_filter` (map) - The search filters for determining the base
image to use. This is an alternative way of providing `source_image` and
only one of these methods can be used. `source_image` will override the
filters.
- `username` or `user_id` (string) - The username or id used to connect to
the OpenStack service. If not specified, Packer will use the environment
variable `OS_USERNAME` or `OS_USERID`, if set. This is not required if
using access token or application credential instead of password, or if using
`cloud.yaml`.
- `password` (string) - The password used to connect to the OpenStack
service. If not specified, Packer will use the environment variables
`OS_PASSWORD`, if set. This is not required if using access token or
application credential instead of password, or if using `cloud.yaml`.
### Optional:
- `application_credential_id` (string) - The application credential id to
use with application credential based authorization. Packer will use the
environment variable `OS_APPLICATION_CREDENTIAL_ID`, if set.
- `application_credential_name` (string) - The application credential name to
use with application credential based authorization. Packer will use the
environment variable `OS_APPLICATION_CREDENTIAL_NAME`, if set.
- `application_credential_secret` (string) - The application credential secret
to use with application credential based authorization. Packer will use the
environment variable `OS_APPLICATION_CREDENTIAL_SECRET`, if set.
- `availability_zone` (string) - The availability zone to launch the server
in. If this isn't specified, the default enforced by your OpenStack cluster
will be used. This may be required for some OpenStack clusters.
- `cacert` (string) - Custom CA certificate file path. If omitted the
`OS_CACERT` environment variable can be used.
- `cert` (string) - Client certificate file path for SSL client
authentication. If omitted the `OS_CERT` environment variable can be used.
- `cloud` (string) - An entry in a `clouds.yaml` file. See the OpenStack
os-client-config
[documentation](https://docs.openstack.org/os-client-config/latest/user/configuration.html)
for more information about `clouds.yaml` files. If omitted, the `OS_CLOUD`
environment variable is used.
- `config_drive` (boolean) - Whether or not nova should use ConfigDrive for
cloud-init metadata.
- `domain_name` or `domain_id` (string) - The Domain name or ID you are
authenticating with. OpenStack installations require this if identity v3 is
used. Packer will use the environment variable `OS_DOMAIN_NAME` or
`OS_DOMAIN_ID`, if set.
- `endpoint_type` (string) - The endpoint type to use. Can be any of
"internal", "internalURL", "admin", "adminURL", "public", and "publicURL".
By default this is "public".
- `floating_ip` (string) - A specific floating IP to assign to this instance.
- `floating_ip_network` (string) - The ID or name of an external network that
can be used for creation of a new floating IP.
- `floating_ip_pool` (string) - *Deprecated* use `floating_ip_network`
instead.
- `force_delete` (boolean) - Whether to force the OpenStack instance to be
forcefully deleted. This is useful for environments that have
reclaim / soft deletion enabled. By default this is false.
- `image_members` (array of strings) - List of members to add to the image
after creation. An image member is usually a project (also called the
"tenant") with whom the image is shared.
- `image_tags` (array of strings) - List of tags to add to the image after
creation.
- `image_visibility` (string) - One of "public", "private", "shared", or
"community".
- `insecure` (boolean) - Whether or not the connection to OpenStack can be
done over an insecure connection. By default this is false.
- `key` (string) - Client private key file path for SSL client
authentication. If omitted the `OS_KEY` environment variable can be used.
- `metadata` (object of key/value strings) - Glance metadata that will be
applied to the image.
- `instance_name` (string) - Name that is applied to the server instance
created by Packer. If this isn't specified, the default is same as
`image_name`.
- `instance_metadata` (object of key/value strings) - Metadata that is
applied to the server instance created by Packer. Also called server
properties in some documentation. The strings have a max size of 255 bytes
each.
- `networks` (array of strings) - A list of networks by UUID to attach to
this instance.
- `ports` (array of strings) - A list of ports by UUID to attach to this
instance.
- `rackconnect_wait` (boolean) - For rackspace, whether or not to wait for
Rackconnect to assign the machine an IP address before connecting via SSH.
Defaults to false.
- `region` (string) - The name of the region, such as "DFW", in which to
launch the server to create the image. If not specified, Packer will use
the environment variable `OS_REGION_NAME`, if set.
- `reuse_ips` (boolean) - Whether or not to attempt to reuse existing
unassigned floating ips in the project before allocating a new one. Note
that it is not possible to safely do this concurrently, so if you are
running multiple openstack builds concurrently, or if other processes are
assigning and using floating IPs in the same openstack project while packer
is running, you should not set this to true. Defaults to false.
- `security_groups` (array of strings) - A list of security groups by name to
add to this instance.
- `source_image_filter` (object) - Filters used to populate filter options.
Example:
``` json
{
"source_image_filter": {
"filters": {
"name": "ubuntu-16.04",
"visibility": "protected",
"owner": "d1a588cf4b0743344508dc145649372d1",
"tags": ["prod", "ready"],
"properties": {
"os_distro": "ubuntu"
}
},
"most_recent": true
}
}
```
This selects the most recent production Ubuntu 16.04 shared to you by the
given owner. NOTE: This will fail unless *exactly* one image is returned,
or `most_recent` is set to true. In the example of multiple returned
images, `most_recent` will cause this to succeed by selecting the newest
image of the returned images.
- `filters` (map of strings) - filters used to select a `source_image`.
NOTE: This will fail unless *exactly* one image is returned, or
`most_recent` is set to true. Of the filters described in
[ImageService](https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/image/v2/), the
following are valid:
- name (string)
- owner (string)
- tags (array of strings)
- visibility (string)
- properties (map of strings to strings) (fields that can be set
with `openstack image set --property key=value`)
- `most_recent` (boolean) - Selects the newest created image when true.
This is most useful for selecting a daily distro build.
You may set use this in place of `source_image` If `source_image_filter` is
provided alongside `source_image`, the `source_image` will override the
filter. The filter will not be used in this case.
- `ssh_interface` (string) - The type of interface to connect via SSH. Values
useful for Rackspace are "public" or "private", and the default behavior is
to connect via whichever is returned first from the OpenStack API.
- `ssh_ip_version` (string) - The IP version to use for SSH connections,
valid values are `4` and `6`. Useful on dual stacked instances where the
default behavior is to connect via whichever IP address is returned first
from the OpenStack API.
- `ssh_keypair_name` (string) - If specified, this is the key that will be
used for SSH with the machine. By default, this is blank, and Packer will
generate a temporary keypair.
[`ssh_password`](/docs/templates/communicator.html#ssh_password) is used.
[`ssh_private_key_file`](/docs/templates/communicator.html#ssh_private_key_file)
or `ssh_agent_auth` must be specified when `ssh_keypair_name` is utilized.
- `ssh_agent_auth` (boolean) - If true, the local SSH agent will be used to
authenticate connections to the source instance. No temporary keypair will
be created, and the values of `ssh_password` and `ssh_private_key_file`
will be ignored. To use this option with a key pair already configured in
the source image, leave the `ssh_keypair_name` blank. To associate an
existing key pair with the source instance, set the `ssh_keypair_name`
field to the name of the key pair.
- `temporary_key_pair_name` (string) - The name of the temporary key pair to
generate. By default, Packer generates a name that looks like
`packer_<UUID>`, where &lt;UUID&gt; is a 36 character unique identifier.
- `tenant_id` or `tenant_name` (string) - The tenant ID or name to boot the
instance into. Some OpenStack installations require this. If not specified,
Packer will use the environment variable `OS_TENANT_NAME` or
`OS_TENANT_ID`, if set. Tenant is also called Project in later versions of
OpenStack.
- `token` (string) - the token (id) to use with token based authorization.
Packer will use the environment variable `OS_TOKEN`, if set.
- `use_floating_ip` (boolean) - *Deprecated* use `floating_ip` or
`floating_ip_pool` instead.
- `user_data` (string) - User data to apply when launching the instance. Note
that you need to be careful about escaping characters due to the templates
being JSON. It is often more convenient to use `user_data_file`, instead.
Packer will not automatically wait for a user script to finish before
shutting down the instance this must be handled in a provisioner.
- `user_data_file` (string) - Path to a file that will be used for the user
data when launching the instance.
- `use_blockstorage_volume` (boolean) - Use Block Storage service volume for
the instance root volume instead of Compute service local volume (default).
- `volume_name` (string) - Name of the Block Storage service volume. If this
isn't specified, random string will be used.
- `volume_type` (string) - Type of the Block Storage service volume. If this
isn't specified, the default enforced by your OpenStack cluster will be
used.
- `volume_size` (int) - Size of the Block Storage service volume in GB. If
this isn't specified, it is set to source image min disk value (if set) or
calculated from the source image bytes size. Note that in some cases this
needs to be specified, if `use_blockstorage_volume` is true.
- `volume_availability_zone` (string) - Availability zone of the Block
Storage service volume. If omitted, Compute instance availability zone will
be used. If both of Compute instance and Block Storage volume availability
zones aren't specified, the default enforced by your OpenStack cluster will
be used.
- `image_disk_format` (string) - Disk format of the resulting image. This
option works if `use_blockstorage_volume` is true.
## Basic Example: DevStack
Here is a basic example. This is a example to build on DevStack running in a
VM.
``` json
{
"type": "openstack",
"identity_endpoint": "http://<devstack-ip>:5000/v3",
"tenant_name": "admin",
"domain_name": "Default",
"username": "admin",
"password": "<your admin password>",
"region": "RegionOne",
"ssh_username": "root",
"image_name": "Test image",
"source_image": "<image id>",
"flavor": "m1.tiny",
"insecure": "true"
}
```
## Basic Example: Rackspace public cloud
Here is a basic example. This is a working example to build a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
(Precise Pangolin) on Rackspace OpenStack cloud offering.
``` json
{
"type": "openstack",
"username": "foo",
"password": "foo",
"region": "DFW",
"ssh_username": "root",
"image_name": "Test image",
"source_image": "23b564c9-c3e6-49f9-bc68-86c7a9ab5018",
"flavor": "2"
}
```
## Basic Example: Private OpenStack cloud
This example builds an Ubuntu 14.04 image on a private OpenStack cloud, powered
by Metacloud.
``` json
{
"type": "openstack",
"ssh_username": "root",
"image_name": "ubuntu1404_packer_test_1",
"source_image": "91d9c168-d1e5-49ca-a775-3bfdbb6c97f1",
"flavor": "2"
}
```
In this case, the connection information for connecting to OpenStack doesn't
appear in the template. That is because I source a standard OpenStack script
with environment variables set before I run this. This script is setting
environment variables like:
- `OS_AUTH_URL`
- `OS_TENANT_ID`
- `OS_USERNAME`
- `OS_PASSWORD`
This is slightly different when identity v3 is used:
- `OS_AUTH_URL`
- `OS_USERNAME`
- `OS_PASSWORD`
- `OS_DOMAIN_NAME`
- `OS_TENANT_NAME`
This will authenticate the user on the domain and scope you to the project. A
tenant is the same as a project. It's optional to use names or IDs in v3. This
means you can use `OS_USERNAME` or `OS_USERID`, `OS_TENANT_ID` or
`OS_TENANT_NAME` and `OS_DOMAIN_ID` or `OS_DOMAIN_NAME`.
The above example would be equivalent to an RC file looking like this :
``` shell
export OS_AUTH_URL="https://identity.myprovider/v3"
export OS_USERNAME="myuser"
export OS_PASSWORD="password"
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME="mydomain"
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME="mydomain"
```
## Basic Example: Instance with Block Storage root volume
A basic example of Instance with a remote root Block Storage service volume.
This is a working example to build an image on private OpenStack cloud powered
by Selectel VPC.
``` json
{
"type": "openstack",
"identity_endpoint": "https://api.selvpc.com/identity/v3",
"tenant_id": "2e90c5c04c7b4c509be78723e2b55b77",
"username": "foo",
"password": "foo",
"region": "ru-3",
"ssh_username": "root",
"image_name": "Test image",
"source_image": "5f58ea7e-6264-4939-9d0f-0c23072b1132",
"networks": "9aab504e-bedf-48af-9256-682a7fa3dabb",
"flavor": "1001",
"availability_zone": "ru-3a",
"use_blockstorage_volume": true,
"volume_type": "fast.ru-3a"
}
```
## Notes on OpenStack Authorization
The simplest way to get all settings for authorization against OpenStack is to
go into the OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) select your *Project* and navigate
*Project, Access & Security*, select *API Access* and *Download OpenStack RC
File v3*. Source the file, and select your wanted region by setting environment
variable `OS_REGION_NAME` or `OS_REGION_ID` and
`export OS_TENANT_NAME=$OS_PROJECT_NAME` or
`export OS_TENANT_ID=$OS_PROJECT_ID`.
\~&gt; `OS_TENANT_NAME` or `OS_TENANT_ID` must be used even with Identity v3,
`OS_PROJECT_NAME` and `OS_PROJECT_ID` has no effect in Packer.
To troubleshoot authorization issues test you environment variables with the
OpenStack cli. It can be installed with
$ pip install --user python-openstackclient
### Authorize Using Tokens
To authorize with a access token only `identity_endpoint` and `token` is
needed, and possibly `tenant_name` or `tenant_id` depending on your token type.
Or use the following environment variables:
- `OS_AUTH_URL`
- `OS_TOKEN`
- One of `OS_TENANT_NAME` or `OS_TENANT_ID`
### Authorize Using Application Credential
To authorize with an application credential, only `identity_endpoint`,
`application_credential_id`, and `application_credential_secret` are needed.
Or use the following environment variables:
- `OS_AUTH_URL`
- `OS_APPLICATION_CREDENTIAL_ID`
- `OS_APPLICATION_CREDENTIAL_SECRET`
