[Packer Breakpoint] how to find the SSH key to SSH into the Packer Builder instance

[Chris Duong]

Hi,

I know that -debug option will allow me to SSH into the Builder instance with SSH KEY inside the current working folder. However the flip side is I have to press a lot of ENTER to go the point I want to debug.

I decided to use BREAKPOINT provisioner to be able to skip Steps. I think there would an SSH key somewhere so that I can use, because without the SSH Key. Packer cannot run the SHELL provisioner.

I hope my guessing is correct.

Currently Packer doesn't write the generated SSH key to file for the breakpoint provisioner. If you open a feature request we could look at implementing this, but right now if you want to use the breakpoint provisioner instead of SSH you'll have to generate your own keys and provide them to Packer.
