Custom Communicator

[Nathan Mische]

Hi,

We are developing a custom builder and I was wondering if it is possible to package a custom communicator in with the builder plugin? I see some other built in builders like docker and hyperone include custom communicators, I just wasn't sure if this could be done with a builder plugin.

Thanks,

-Nathan

Yes, as long as the builder satisfies the builder interface, and the communicator satisfies the communicator interface, then you're good to go. You'll need to bundle the communicator in with the builder plugin, since there's no way to independently serve a communicator. Your custom communicator won't be able to used with built-in builders, just your custom one where it's bundled. But I believe it should work with the built-in provisioners as long as it implements all of the communicator methods.
