QEMU: Packer 1.6.5 + Flacar

[Marc Pires]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to a QEMU image with Flatcar and having this issue during build when packer tries to connect via ssh (using public key)

Error log

==> qemu: Using ssh communicator to connect: localhost

2020/11/13 12:33:17 packer-builder-qemu plugin: Using host value: localhost

2020/11/13 12:33:17 packer-builder-qemu plugin: [DEBUG] SSH handshake err: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none publickey], no supported methods remain

My ClC

- name: core
  ssh_authorized_keys:
    - ssh-rsa SSH_KEY_CONTENTS
  home_dir: /home/core
  shell: /bin/bash

Checked the user's authorized_keys, but it does not exists

As I am starting to use Flatcar now, not sure what's the issue here

Thanks for the help
