arch-boxes
Arch-boxes provides automated builds of the Arch Linux releases for different providers and post-processors. Check the providers or post-processor sections if you want to know which are currently supported.
Dependencies
You'll need the following dependencies:
- packer (for basic usage)
- vagrant (for vagrant images)
- qemu (for libvirt provider support)
- virtualbox (for virtualbox support)
- VMware Workstation Pro (for vmware support)
How to start the build process
On Arch Linux:
packer-io build vagrant.json
On any other System:
packer build vagrant.json
Note: this is because of the name conflict with the AUR-Helpertool
packer on Arch linux.
providers
- virtualbox-iso
- qemu/libvirt
- vmware-iso
post-processors
- vagrant
Troubleshooting
Parallel build fails
If the parallel build fails this is mostly because the KVM device is
already occupied by a different provider. You can use the build option
parallel=false for building the images in a queue instead of parallel.
But don't be surprised that that the build process will take longer. Any
other option is to disable KVM support for all other providers except
one.
Start packer with -parallel=false:
On Arch Linux:
packer-io build -parallel=false vagrant.json
On any other system:
packer build -parallel=false vagrant.json
