OpenVZ packer templates

Packer templates for building base OpenVZ VM box and Virtuozzo box. Based on Sergey Bronnikov's sources https://github.com/ligurio/openvz-packer-templates

Usage

Installing Packer

Download the latest packer and unzip the appropriate directory.

If you're using Homebrew:

$ brew install packer

Running Packer

$ git clone https://github.com/Roman513/openvz-packer-templates
$ packer build virtuozzo-7.0.json

If you want to build only VirtualBox:

$ packer build -only=virtualbox-iso virtuozzo-7.0.json

The result box will be available in builds/ directory.

Virtuozzo 7.0

By default the box OpenVZ7 will be built using the ISO from the latest released version of Virtuozzo distribution of OpenVZ 7.0. At this moment it is 7.0.15-628 If you want to build the box OpenVZ7 from the current factory ISO build, you should override iso_url and iso_checksum variables, for example:

$ export VZ_FACTORY_URL=https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/factory/x86_64/iso/factory-DVD && \
  export VZ_FACTORY_CHECKSUM=sha256:`curl --silent https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/factory/x86_64/iso/factory-CHECKSUM | grep DVD | awk '{print $1}'`

$ packer build -var "iso_url=${VZ_FACTORY_URL}" -var "iso_checksum=${VZ_FACTORY_CHECKSUM}" virtuozzo-7.0.json

To build Virtuozzo (not OpenVZ) box, use commands like this:

$ export VZ_FACTORY_URL=http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vz/releases/vz7.iso && \
export VZ_FACTORY_CHECKSUM=sha256:`curl --silent http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vz/releases/sha256sum | grep -E 'vz7.iso$' | awk '{print $1}'` && \
export VZ_TEMPLATE='virtuozzo-7-x64'

$ packer build -var "iso_url=${VZ_FACTORY_URL}" -var "iso_checksum=${VZ_FACTORY_CHECKSUM}" -var "template=${VZ_TEMPLATE}" virtuozzo-7.0.json

Using Vagrant box

$ vagrant init Roman513/OpenVZ7
$ vagrant up --provider virtualbox
$ vagrant ssh
