Can I set the HTTPIP to a specific address?

[Alexander Lehmann]

I am currently using packer on Windows with Virtualbox and VMware Workstation builders.

Due to some strange firewall setting (which I cannot change currently), the IP address of the HTTPIP web server is not reachable when using vmware, but works in Virtualbox.

I have worked around that first by running nginx on the local machine to provide the ks file and setting the url to the ip of the main interface and since that worked then by changing the entry in the vmware builder to http://<localaddress>:{{ .HTTPPort }} which works correctly as well.

I was wondering if it is possible to force the HTTPIP variable to a specific value so that I can keep the builder with HTTPIP.

Unfortunately you can't change that. But I think it should use a vmnet
IP which should really not be managed by some broken firewall
software.

if the files are small, you can use floppy to out the files into a virtual floppy drive
