Make vagrant image from a docker container

[ajith u]

Hi,

I am trying to make a vagrant image (.box)  from an ubuntu docker container using packer .

The json file is like this.

==================

{

  "builders": [

    {

      "type": "docker",

      "image": "ubuntu:latest",

      "commit": "true"

    }

  ],

"post-processors": [{

        "type": "vagrant",

        "output": "ubuntu-16.10-amd64-vagrant.box"

  }]

}

======================

the error i am getting is 

* Post-processor failed: Unknown artifact type, can't build box: packer.post-processor.docker-import

Please let me know if I am missing something

thanks,

Ajith.

Which version of Packer are you using? What's the output of:

PACKER_LOG=1 packer build template.json

The ful log with env var PACKER_LOG=1 should be much longer.
