Local Shell Provisioner

Type: shell-local

shell-local will run a shell script of your choosing on the machine where Packer is being run - in other words, it shell-local will run the shell script on your build server, or your desktop, etc., rather than the remote/guest machine being provisioned by Packer.

The remote shell provisioner executes shell scripts on a remote machine.

Basic Example

The example below is fully functional.

{
  "type": "shell-local",
  "command": "echo foo"
}

Configuration Reference

The reference of available configuration options is listed below. The only required element is "command".

Required:

• command (string) - The command to execute. This will be executed within the context of a shell as specified by execute_command.

Optional parameters:

• execute_command (array of strings) - The command to use to execute the script. By default this is ["/bin/sh", "-c", "{{.Command}}"]. The value is an array of arguments executed directly by the OS. The value of this is treated as configuration template. The only available variable is Command which is the command to execute.
