# packer-esxi
A set of example [Packer][] templates for building Debian and Ubuntu boxes on
[VMware ESXi][]. These are built on the remote ESXi host, then shut down and
left registered. A lot of this work comes out of [boxes][], which provides the
basic template formation.They assume that it's possible to fetch an IP through DHCP on the primary (`VM
Network`) network. If this isn't the case, you can adjust the [boot command to
set a static IP][].This example repo comes out of [this post I wrote on how to use Packer with
VMware ESXi][post].## Usage
```sh
packer build -var-file variables.json ubuntu-1604-base.json
```Ensure that `variables.json` contains valid values.
