## How to use this repo
### Pre-requesites
Download or `git clone https://github.com/andif888/packer-opensuse-vsphere-iso.git` this repo and make sure you have [Packer](https://www.packer.io/downloads) Version 1.7.1 or later installed. If you don't know Packer, it's a single commandline binary which only needs to be on your `PATH`.
### Step 1: Adjust variables
Rename the file [variables.auto.pkrvars.hcl.sample](variables.auto.pkrvars.hcl.sample) to `variables.auto.pkrvars.hcl` and adjust the variables for your VMware vSphere environment. Some documentation on each variable is inside the sample file.
```bash
mv variables.auto.pkrvars.hcl.sample variables.auto.pkrvars.hcl
nano variables.auto.pkrvars.hcl
```
### Step 2: Init Packer
Init Packer by using the following command. (Spot the dot at the end of the command!)
```bash
packer init .
```
### Step 3: Build a VM Template
To build a VM template run one of the provided `build`-scripts.
For example to build a template run:
```bash
./build.sh
```
If you are on a Windows machine then use the `build-*.ps1` files.
### Optional: Template default credentials
the default credentials after a successful build are
Username: `vagrant`
Password: `vagrant`
If you would like to change the default ćredentials before a packer build, then you need to edit the following files:
- **variables.auto.pkrvars.hcl**
- **autoinst.xml** (Line 8-14; Line 195; Line 212-213)
