How to publish some parameters from a provisioned shell into the manifest

[Ibrahim Buamod]

Let's say I installed a shell script and I need to return a value from the script and put it in the manifest ?! How ?

You can't. The only way I can think about it so wrap packer in a script, use the file provisioner to download some information you want in the manifest, and use jq to write the data into the manifest json after packer finishes.
