This repository contains a Packer config to allow building of Chef Server images in various providers. Currently it has support for EC2, GCE, and Azure.
Various environment variable should be set to configure the credentials used for each provider:
- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Your AWS Access Key
- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Your AWS Secret Key
- GCE_ACCOUNT_FILE - The JSON file downloaded from GCE when creating a service account
- AZURE_PUBLISH_SETTINGS - Your Azure publish settings file
The config assumes you are using a Chef Server to store the required content. You need to update the server_url, validation_client_name, and validation_key_path for your Chef configuration.
To start a build, run:
packer build chef-server.json
To build only for certain providers, run:
packer build -only=<platform> chef-server.json
Where <platform> equals one of googlecompute, amazon-ebs, or azure.
