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.

# 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.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"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](/docs/templates/communicator) settings.
