+# Debian Packer Templates for MAAS
+
+## Introduction
+
+The Packer templates in this directory creates Debian images for use with MAAS.
+
+## Prerequisites (to create the image)
+
+* A machine running Ubuntu 18.04+ with the ability to run KVM virtual machines.
+* qemu-utils, libnbd-bin, nbdkit and fuse2fs
+* qemu-system
+* ovmf
+* cloud-image-utils
+* [Packer](https://www.packer.io/intro/getting-started/install.html), v1.7.0 or newer
+
+## Requirements (to deploy the image)
+
+* [MAAS](https://maas.io) 3.2+
+* [Curtin](https://launchpad.net/curtin) 21.0+
+* [A Custom Preseed for Debian (Important - See below)]
+
+## Supported Debian Versions
+
+The builds and deployment has been tested on MAAS 3.3.5 with Jammy ephemeral images,
+in BIOS and UEFI modes. The process currently works with the following Debian series:
+
+* Debian 10 (Buster)
+* Debian 11 (Bullseye)
+* Debian 12 (Bookworm)
+
+## Supported Architectures
+
+Currently amd64 (x86_64) and arm64 (aarch64) architectures are supported with aemd64
+being the default.
+
+## Known Issues
+
+* UEFI images fro Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are usable on both BIOS and 
+UEFI systems. However for Debian 12 (Bookworm) explicit images are required to
+support BIOS and UEFI modes. See BOOT make parameter for more details.
+
+
+## debian-cloudimg.pkr.hcl
+
+This template builds a tgz image from the official Debian cloud images. This
+results in an image that is very close to the ones that are on
+<https://images.maas.io/>.
+
+### Building the image
+
+The build the image you give the template a script which has all the
+customizations:
+
+```shell
+packer init .
+packer build -var customize_script=my-changes.sh -var debian_series=bullseye \
+    -var debian_version=11 .
+```
+
+`my-changes.sh` is a script you write which customizes the image from within
+the VM. For example, you can install packages using `apt-get`, call out to
+ansible, or whatever you want.
+
+Using make:
+
+```shell
+make debian SERIES=bullseye
+```
+
+#### Accessing external files from you script
+
+If you want to put or use some files in the image, you can put those in the `http` directory.
+
+Whatever file you put there, you can access from within your script like this:
+
+```shell
+wget http://${PACKER_HTTP_IP}:${PACKER_HTTP_PORT}:/my-file
+```
+
+### Installing a kernel
+
+If you do want to force an image to always use a specific kernel, you can
+include it in the image.
+
+The easiest way of doing this is to use the `kernel` parameter:
+
+```shell
+packer init .
+packer build -var kernel=linux-image-amd64 -var customize_script=my-changes.sh .
+```
+
+You can also install the kernel manually in your `my-changes.sh` script.
+
+### Custom Preseed for Debian
+
+As mentioned above, Debian images require a custom preseed file to be present in the
+preseeds directory of MAAS region controllers. 
+
+When used snaps, the path is /var/snap/maas/current/preseeds/curtin_userdata_custom
+
+Example ready to use preesed files has been included with this repository. Please
+see curtin_userdata_custom_amd64 and curtin_userdata_custom_arm64.
+
+Please be aware that this could potentially create a conflict with the rest of custom
+images present in your setup, hence a through investigation and testing might be
+required prior to deployment.
+
+To work around a conflict, it is possible to name the preseed file something similar to
+curtin_userdata_custom_amd64_generic_debian-10 assuming the architecture was set to
+amd64/generic and the uploaded name was set to custom/debian-10.
+
+### Makefile Parameters
+
+#### PACKER_LOG
+
+Enable (1) or Disable (0) verbose packer logs. The default value is set to 0.
+
+#### SERIES
+
+Specify the Debian Series to build. The default value is set to bullseye.
+
+#### BOOT
+
+Supported boot mode baked into the image. The default is set to uefi. Please
+see the Known Issues section for more details. This parameter is only valid 
+for amd64 architecture.
+
+#### ARCH
+
+Target image architecture. Supported values are amd64 (default) and arm64.
+
+### Default Username
+
+The default username is ```debian```
+
+## Uploading images to MAAS
+
+TGZ image
+
+```shell
+maas admin boot-resources create \
+    name='custom/debian-12' \
+    title='Debian 12 Custom' \
+    architecture='amd64/generic' \
+    filetype='tgz' \
+    content@=debian-custom-cloudimg.tar.gz
+```
