Route 1337 Packer Templates

This repo contains the various packer templates used to generate some of Route 1337's Vagrant Boxes

InstallDisks Directory

This directory contains DMG and ISO files, so they can't be checked in to git due to their size and/or licensing restrictions.
To generate the DMGs/ISOs for macOS systems use the prepare_iso.sh script in iso-prep

Preparing a Mac DMG to go into InstallDisks

These are the steps to prepare a Mac DMG to go into InstallDisks (10.9-10.12)

1. Download the Installer App from the Mac App Store (Yosemite for example)
2. Run this command from inside iso-prep: sudo prepare_iso/prepare_iso.sh "/Applications/Install OS X Yosemite.app" out/
3. Move the DMG from iso-prep/out/ to packer/InstallDisks/ and update the corresponding JSON file
4. Run this command: packer build $jsonFile

Updating a template

Each template JSON file must be updated if a version number or ISO file name/hash changes. For example, the Mac templates would need the following changes:

1. name, version, iso_url, iso_checksum_type, iso_checksum in "variables" section
