# Dockerfile with Packer, QEMU, VirtualBox, Ansible (with winrm Python module)

This repository provides Dockerfile which can be used to build images
for Virtual Machines by Packer.

The docker image is primary created for building Packer Templates located
in this repository [https://github.com/ruzickap/packer-templates](https://github.com/ruzickap/packer-templates),
but it can be used everywhere.

## Installation steps

To use this Docker image you need to install VirtualBox and Docker to your OS
(Fedora / Ubuntu). This may work on other operating systems too, but I didn't
have a chance to test it.

### Ubuntu installation steps (Docker + VirtualBox)

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y --no-install-recommends curl git docker.io virtualbox
sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker
# This is mandatory for Ubuntu otherwise docker container will not have access to /dev/kvm - this is default in Fedora (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=993491)
sudo bash -c "echo 'KERNEL==\"kvm\", GROUP=\"kvm\", MODE=\"0666\"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/60-qemu-system-common.rules"
sudo reboot
```

### Fedora installation steps (Docker + VirtualBox)

```bash
sudo sed -i 's@^SELINUX=enforcing@SELINUX=disabled@' /etc/selinux/config
sudo dnf upgrade -y
# Reboot if necessary (especially if you upgrade the kernel or related packages)

sudo dnf install -y http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install -y akmod-VirtualBox curl docker git kernel-devel-$(uname -r) libvirt-daemon-kvm
sudo akmods

sudo bash -c 'echo "vboxdrv" > /etc/modules-load.d/vboxdrv.conf'
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt ${USER}
sudo groupadd docker && sudo gpasswd -a ${USER} docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

sudo reboot
```

## Build image from Packer templates

Real example how to use the Docker image to build Packer images for libvirt/qemu.
You can replace `-only=qemu` by `-only=virtualbox-iso` to build VirtualBox images.

You can see the console of virtual machine by turning on `-var headless=false`.
(It will connect the "X GUI" from the docker to your X server)

### Common mandatory part for all

```bash
PACKER_TEMPLATES_GIT="https://github.com/ruzickap/packer-templates"
PACKER_TEMPLATES_DIR="$PWD/packer-templates"
PACKER_IMAGES_OUTPUT_DIR="/var/tmp/packer-templates-images"

git clone --recurse-submodules $PACKER_TEMPLATES_GIT
cd packer-templates
TMPDIR="$PWD/packer_cache"

test -d $TMPDIR                   || mkdir -v $TMPDIR
test -d $PACKER_IMAGES_OUTPUT_DIR || mkdir -v $PACKER_IMAGES_OUTPUT_DIR
```

### Build CentOS image

```bash
export NAME="my_centos-7-x86_64"
export CENTOS_VERSION="7"
export CENTOS_TYPE="NetInstall"
export CENTOS_TAG="1804"
export PACKER_RUN_TIMEOUT="7200"  # keep build running for max 2 hours

docker run --rm -it -u $(id -u):$(id -g) --privileged --name "packer_${NAME}" \
-v $PACKER_IMAGES_OUTPUT_DIR:/home/docker/packer_images_output_dir \
-v $PWD:/home/docker/packer \
-v $TMPDIR:/home/docker/packer/packer_cache \
-e PACKER_RUN_TIMEOUT \
