# packer-pi-ubuntu
Packer code base to build/customize Ubuntu raspberry pi server images
## Overview
The project makes use of the [Ubuntu Raspberry Pi server images](https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi) to build custom image files
to run on the raspberry-pi platform.
## Setup
- Uses the `mkaczanowski/packer-builder-arm` docker image - [info](https://github.com/mkaczanowski/packer-builder-arm)
- Uses the [ansible-role-os-user](https://github.com/farazmd/ansible-role-os-user) to create the admin user.
- Create a `ubuntu.auto.pkrvars.hcl` file with the following required variables
```shell
image_name =
base_dir_name =
admin_user =
admin_user_group =
additional_groups = . eg - ["sudo"]
ssh_pub_key =
no_cloud_url =
no_cloud_file_path =
```
- Create a directory called `images`. This is where the final build images will be stored.
- Run the following command
```shell
docker run --rm --privileged -v /dev:/dev -v $(pwd):/build mkaczanowski/packer-builder-arm:latest build .
```
- Once the image is created, you can write the file to an SD card and run it on a raspberry-pi.
- Connect to the raspberry-pi via ssh using the private key and `admin_user`
## Configuration
- You can add additional shell execution scripts as needed or modify existing ones to add more tools, etc
- You can also customize [NoCloud Configuration](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/datasources/nocloud.html) as needed.
- There are 3 configs present
- nocloud with user creation
- nocloud with no user creation
- no cloud with just the datasource defined
