This directory contains a provisioning mechanism for the Vagrant boxes we ship
|
|
|
|
|
as part of Sandbox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to self contain and distribute the required dependencies for Tinkerbell
|
2021-02-04 09:52:23 +00:00
|
|
|
and Sandbox without having to download all of them at runtime we decided to use
|
2021-01-27 22:07:57 +00:00
|
|
|
[Packer.io](https://packer.io) to build boxes that you can use when provisioning
|
|
|
|
|
Tinkerbell on Vagrant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently the generated boxes are available via [Vagrant
|
|
|
|
|
Cloud](https://app.vagrantup.com/tinkerbelloss).

## Build
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build the boxes checkout the right directory and run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
|
|
|
$ packer build --parallel-builds=1 ./template.json
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`-parallel-builds=1` is required because the template builds images for multiple
|
|
|
|
|
providers using the [Vagrant
|
|
|
|
|
builder](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vagrant) and I didn't manage to get
|
|
|
|
|
it to work in parallel yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Deploy to Vagrant Cloud
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't find a way to make the Vagrant Cloud post processor to work. But I use
|
|
|
|
|
the vagrant cli `vagrant cloud publish` command.
