## Introduction
The packer-qemu-templates provides Packer templates for unattended
building of relevant virtual machine images in the qcow2 format for
use with KVM.
In addition, all templates for use with Vagrant, through
[vagrant-libvirt](https://github.com/pradels/vagrant-libvirt), are
configured to let Packer create a Vagrant box through the libvirt
post-processor.
More info:

## Status
Currently the project includes templates for Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian
and Windows. In other words, the OSes of the VMs I and the other
contributors use on a day-to-day basis.
Feel free to contribute more:-)
## Usage
### Build qcow2 image
Go into the relevant template directory and run packer build on the
relevant json file.
```bash
$ cd windows
$ packer build -var-file windows.json windows-2012-R2-standard-vagrant.json
```
Templates names that ends with vagrant automatically creates a vagrant
box.
Add the box to Vagrant
```bash
$ vagrant box add box/windows-2012-R2-standard.box --name windows-2012-R2-standard
```
Init vagrantfile
```
$ mkdir project && cd $_
$ vagrant init windows-2012-R2-standard
```
Start machine
```
$ vagrant up
```
Get IP of machine
```
$ vagrant ssh-config
```
