No such file or directory : while running hashicorp packer docker image through octopus deploy

[Praveen Jaiswal]

I am using Hashicorp packer official docker image to validate and create a custom AMI. Below is the command I am using to validate the template2.json file which has the code to create custom AMI. I am using octopus deploy worker pool to execute this command.                                                                                                                         docker run -i ee26c209af37 validate template2.json

but it's not able to detect the template2.json file and is giving "No such file or directory". Can you please advise if you guys have faced this kind of scenario.I have tried giving full path before template2.json also but same error.

Praveen,

In order to use the Docker Packer container, you need to give it a mount point during startup so that the container knows about your local file system and can easily reference it. The mount point can be built into the docker run command like so:

docker run -it --mount type=bind,source=/absolute/path/to/template.json,target=/mnt/template2.json hashicorp/packer:latest build /mnt/template2.json

In the --mount option, you should use the full path to your template2.json file. Then the container will be able to read it from its mount point and execute the Packer build on the file. If you modify the paths in that example above and put your own paths in, it should work ok.
