# New-PackerVbFile
A PowerShell 7+ script which creates a new Packer JSON file to build a local VirtualBox Ubuntu machine by merging parameters into the Packer file.
This eliminates the need to use the -var-file option.

# Getting Started
## Installation
To install, drop the entire New-PackerVbFile folder into one of your PowerShell 7 (or later) module directories. The default PowerShell module paths are listed in the **$Env:PSModulePath** environment variable.

## Requires

* [PowerShell 7+ Core](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-7)
* [VirtualBox (6.1.12 or higher)](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
* [Packer](https://www.packer.io/)

Packer and VirtualBox are both installed and in your System PATH.

## Usage

Refer to the comment-based help in the module script for detailed usage information or see [New-PackerVbFile.md](./docs/New-PackerVbFile.md)

# Notes
This has only been tested on PowerShell 7 Core on Windows 10 2004. Your mileage may vary if using this with PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 6 (Core) and/or other OSes.
