building windows images on openstack

[Curt Wilhelm]

Hello

I'm looking for some details about how to build windows images with openstack using the packer openstack builder.  I'm using the winrm communicator.  It's possible that winrm isn't installed on the source image.  Can packer help install that through userdata?  Are there sample scripts?

 ./packer build ./packer.json 

openstack output will be in this color.

==> openstack: Discovering enabled extensions...

==> openstack: Loading flavor: m1.large

    openstack: Verified flavor. ID: d15f561e-a043-4b3d-97c6-87f10f382ecd

==> openstack: Creating temporary keypair: packer 57d328a7-70e3-2f6c-e034-42820f61eccc ...

    openstack: Server ID: 8faa0f3f-6e57-4e41-9562-96f0149a8e0a

  }],

  "provisioners":[{

  }]

}

Any help is apprecated!

Hello,

it should be user_data or user_data_file in the builder section, that winrm need to be enabled before the provisioner can run

https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/openstack.html

• user_data (string) - User data to apply when launching the instance. Note that you need to be careful about escaping characters due to the templates being JSON. It is often more convenient to use user_data_file, instead.

• user_data_file (string) - Path to a file that will be used for the user data when launching the instance.

Thanks

Alvaro

Download an image from https://cloudbase.it/windows-cloud-images/
They have winrm enabled and cloudbase-init installed. Testing with it let's you rule out that your source image haven't the right setup.
