Yes i have access on jenkins server. 

This build is for Amazon AMI. 

Output from Prompt

# pwd

/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/amibuild

# packer build -debug templates/rhel.template

Debug mode enabled. Builds will not be parallelized.

amazon-ebs output will be in this color.

==> amazon-ebs: Prevalidating AMI Name...

==> amazon-ebs: Pausing after run of step 'StepPreValidate'. Press enter to continue.

==> amazon-ebs: Inspecting the source AMI...

This is working. When i do through jenkins then jenkins logs showing below error

Alvaro.

[Sandeep Sharma]

Thanks Alvaro for hint.

I have configured JAVA SDK in jenkins and then used packer. Now everything is working fine.

Regards

I'm Johnny-come-lately on this post.

How can I setup the Packer plugin to use our configured SSH credentials? I don't want to put a private key in the Packer system configuration page.

[Rickard von Essen]

I've never used that plugin, what Packer builder do you target? 

If you wan't to use a SSH key configured in Jenkins I don't think there is any support for that in the plugin, but I might be wrong.
