Can you specify an alternate vagrant home directory using the vagrant post-processor?

[William Saxton]

I can't use /home/vagrant because my company use autofs for mounting to /home so I need to move vagrant to /export/home/vagrant.  I don't see it in the options for the post-processor so either I'm missing it or I need an alternative way of doing this.

Any ideas?

I think it's enough if you change the vagrant users home dir to something else when you create the user In your Kickstart script etc. Vagrant doesn't care about where the home dir is.

hi

vagrant post processor only package the box in a vagrant format

but doesn't do anything in the host os, thats done by either some logic in the installer of script

as Rickard said, you can just use a different home dir for the use

just wanted to clarify the part of packer doesn't create any user
