How to use block-project-ssh-keys parameter correctly

Hi all,

I need to block project-wide SSH keys from getting automatically added to a temporary instance while I am building GCP images with Packer.

As far as I understand from the following links:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53416024/packer-doesnt-import-project-ssh-keys-googlecompute/53419490#53419490

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/packer-tool/block-project-ssh-keys%7Csort:date/packer-tool/46YGfuo58ZY/J9al336fCQAJ

I need to use the following option:

  "metadata": {

        "block-project-ssh-keys": true

}

I have tried it. Here is an excerpt from the code:

     "name": "ubuntu-1604",
      "type": "googlecompute",
      ...
      "image_labels": {
        "cookbook": "{{user `cookbook`}}", 
        "application": "{{user `application`}}",
        ...
      },
      "metadata": {
        "block-project-ssh-keys": true
      }
    },

However, the project SSH keys are still added, and the users who own those keys are still created on the temporary instance and then baked into our image.

Could you please advise? Is it something obvious that I am missing?

Regards,

Ch.

Hi! I know that Packer does some manual setting of ssh keys -- it's possible that a field we're setting overrides this. Can you open a bug report for us over on our github repo, and I'll take a closer look?
