HashiCorp [Packer](https://packer.io/) is a tool for automating the creation of machine images. Packer uses [templates](https://packer.io/docs/templates/index.html) for defining one or more builds using one of two file formats, JSON and [HCL](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl).
> I created Punk as a means to provide a GUI for creating Packer templates.
To put it quite simply, Punk provides a simple and clean user interface that allows users to focus more on the specific details of a machine image rather than the format of the Packer template.
**Note:** Punk is still in its infancy and lacks many features. However, should you discover a missing feature or bug, please create a new [issue](https://github.com/jasonwalsh/punk/issues).
## Requirements
- [Yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install) (for local deployment)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-started) (for production deployment)## Usage
Getting started with Punk is easy, simply follow the instructions below:
### Local
$ yarn serve
### Docker
**Note:** Even though this is a public repository, you still need to be authenticated to download this image. For more information, please refer to the official [documentation](https://help.github.com/en/packages/using-github-packages-with-your-projects-ecosystem/configuring-docker-for-use-with-github-packages#authenticating-to-github-packages).
$ docker pull docker.pkg.github.com/jasonwalsh/punk/punk:latest
$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 docker.pkg.github.com/jasonwalsh/punk/punk## Limitations
Punk started as a weekend project and is very limited in functionality. Currently, Punk *only* supports the [`amazon-ebs`](https://packer.io/docs/builders/amazon-ebs.html) builder with limited configuration options.
The options currently supported for the `amazon-ebs` builder are:
- `access_key`
- `ami_name`
- `instance_type`
- `region`
- `secret_key`
- `source_ami`While these options are limited, the result produces a valid Packer template.
## Future Considerations
As mentioned previously, Punk is still in its infancy and has the potential to grow. Below is a list of potential features that would make Punk a better product:
- Support for additional [builders](https://packer.io/docs/builders/index.html)
- Support for [provisioners](https://packer.io/docs/provisioners/index.html)
- Support for [post-processors](https://packer.io/docs/post-processors/index.html)## License
