Passing packer variables to specify custom overrides does not seem to work #2372

Thanks for the detailed report! Quick question, do you have |
|
Don't think I do: |

Ok I think that explains |
|
I did confirm we do not currently have a way to pass these kinds of additional options/overrides in yet. We are going to take a look internally at options we have and will get back to you with an idea of a timeline. |
|
Also, the filepath passed in as Are you able to see this file on your host? If so could you post its contents? |
Ideally, you should see something like {
"files":null,
"rhel_username":"",
"rhel_password":"",
"extra_repos":"/home/image-builder/ubuntu.sources.list"
} |
|
hi, yes I do see that file under {"rhel_username":"","rhel_password":"","extra_repos":"/home/image-builder/ubuntu.sources.list"} |
|
so if this file is parsed I see the only options it supports is: type BaremetalConfig struct {
IsoConfig
RhelConfig
ExtraPackagesConfig
}
type ExtraPackagesConfig struct {
ExtraDebs string `json:"extra_debs,omitempty"`
ExtraRepos string `json:"extra_repos,omitempty"`
ExtraRpms string `json:"extra_rpms,omitempty"`
}how do other customers pass in custom provisioner after the build or anything else to customise the image? or is it just extra repos + extra packages the only option available? |
Currently we support only these parameters that are present in these Go struct types. We are working on a potential solution to expand this list and provide more customization through image-builder. |

Hi, so I've been trying to get addition of ansible roles: type BaremetalConfig struct {
AdditionalFiles []File `json:"files"`
IsoConfig
RhelConfig
ExtraPackagesConfig
ExtraRolesConfig
}
type ExtraRolesConfig struct {
firstboot_custom_roles_pre string `json:"firstboot_custom_roles_pre"`
firstboot_custom_roles_post string `json:"firstboot_custom_roles_post"`
node_custom_roles_pre string `json:"node_custom_roles_pre"`
node_custom_roles_post string `json:"node_custom_roles_post"`
roles_from string `json:"roles_from"`
}to match what upstream kubernetes-sigs support and building locally it I'm still not getting necessary content from the config: {
"extra_repos": "/home/image-builder/ubuntu.sources.list",
"roles_from": "/home/image-builder/wd_ansible_roles",
"node_custom_roles_pre": "wd.eksa.pre_node"
}but still variable |
What happened:
Command in use to build Ubuntu 22.04 based EKSA BM image:
I have
/home/image-builder/packer_vars.jsonfile with overrides to use a custom Ansible role through image provisioning.When I attempt to pass it with
--baremetal-config /home/image-builder/packer_vars.jsonthis path is nowhere to be seen in end command underPACKER_VAR_FILESenvironment variable.Also I've noticed following warning during execution:
which looks like comes from:
where
IMAGE_FORMATis empty instead ofraw.I've also attempted to modify
commandEnvVarsfor Ubuntu build with no impact:case Ubuntu: buildCommand = fmt.Sprintf("make -C %s local-build-raw-ubuntu-%s", imageBuilderProjectPath, b.OsVersion) + commandEnvVars = append(commandEnvVars, fmt.Sprintf("PACKER__VAR_FILES='/home/image-builder/packer_vars.json'"), fmt.Sprintf("PACKER_RAW_VAR_FILES='/home/image-builder/packer_vars.json'") case RedHat:End result packer command executed:
What you expected to happen:
Being able to supply overrides from https://image-builder.sigs.k8s.io/capi/capi, for example:
{ "disable_public_repos": true, "reenable_public_repos": false, "extra_repos": "/home/image-builder/ubuntu.sources.list" }How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Anything else we need to know?:
