Lucas Bajolet	d8a95a741b	docs: update plugins install command documentation Since the plugins install subcommand can install both remotely and locally sourced plugins, we update the documentation for it on the web-docs to reflect this change.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	9f3dd5b72a	website: update install plugins docs Since we're changing how packer manages plugin installation with 1.11.0, we reflect those changes to the website documentation. Now, we only describe the packer init and packer plugins install commands, along with the `--path` flag for installing from a local source. The explanations of how packer discovers and picks which version of a plugin to load are also included, along with the list of constraints that determine whether a plugin can be considered or not to be loadable.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	266c4d99d2	website: update discovery/envvar documentation With the changes coming up for 1.11.0, we update the Packer configuration docs so they describe the one way to load plugins, and the two environment variables which can be set to change this behaviour.	2 years ago

Lucas Bajolet	24430e27be	docs: reorganise plugin installation docs The current documentation about installing plugins does not explain (outside of the `packer init' section) how Packer discovers plugins, what the expected file system hierarchy should be, and the quirk of how this takes precedence over the rest when `required_plugins' is specified. This commit addresses that by reorganising the page to highlight general usage questions on sources and plugins, and simplifies the tabs below to only highlight installation methods.	2 years ago

Lucas Bajolet	aad03ba12b	docs: reorg plugins installation tabs In order to better document packer plugins installation methods, and since `packer plugins install' is not really manual, we split in two sections the "manual installation".

Wilken Rivera	9c85fc274a	Update plugin loading documentation (#12485 ) Packer checks a number of directories for plugins upon initialization, with the introduction of multi-component plugins and underlying changes to the Packer SDK the ordering changed slightly. These changes update the related documentation to reflect the new ordering, and adds a plugin loading ordering section to the docs to help users discover how plugin loading works. Include in this change are updates to the PACKER_CONFIG_DIR environment variables to reflect the XDG base directory specification used as the default Packer configuration directory layout. * Update website/content/docs/configure.mdx	3 years ago

Lucas Bajolet	925cb5e541	hcp: support HCP_PROJECT_ID environment variable With HCP supporting multi-projects now, Packer needs to take it into account when picking a project from an organisation. This commit adds two cases: 1. multiple projects are defined, none is supplied through HCP_PROJECT_ID: in this case we will default to the oldest project defined for the organisation. 2. we supply HCP_PROJECT_ID: in this case, we pick the project with the corresponding ID, and use it for publishing metadata.	3 years ago

Lucas Bajolet	ec1d2e68f5	hcp: generate fingerprints on each new build Fingerprints are how we link a packer build to an iteration on HCP. These are computed automatically from the Git SHA in the current state, and are unique to the bucket/iteration. The main problem with this approach is that while sound in theory, it quickly falls apart when users want to run the same build configuration twice, but expect a new image to be created. With the current model, this fails, as the iteration with the current SHA already exists. While this is solvable through environment variables, or by committing a change to the repository, we think this is not clear enough, and causes an extra step to what should otherwise be a simple process. Therefore, to lower the barrier of entry into HCP, we change this behaviour with this commit. Now, fingerprints are randomly generated ULIDs instead of a git SHA, and a new one is always generated, unless one is already specified in the environment. This makes continuation of an existing iteration a conscious choice rather than something automatic, and virtually eliminates conflicts such as the ones described above.	3 years ago

craigpero	38d0bc818d	Update index.mdx In trying the example, I found that you have to type ".second-example" for the expected results. I took the command line on line #78 literal and it didn't work as typed. When I used my proposed change... it worked for me. Alternatively, ".second*" works but that could grab builders that were not intended.	3 years ago

Lucas Bajolet	338c95b2eb	datasource: remove packer-image-iteration The `packer-image-iteration' datasource is an undocumented, and unexported datasource, so it cannot be used by clients. Since this is dead weight, we can remove it safely from the codebase.	3 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	14cad650ca	website: add docs for variable warning bypass opts When the options for bypassing/enabling assigned and undeclared variables were added to Packer, the website documentation for those commands and options was not updated. This commit adds some documentation for those options.	3 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	bb2384c56a	command/validate: add option to eval datasources When packer validate is invoked, it does not try to evaluate the datasources before attempting to decide if the template is valid. In many cases, this works, but sometimes it will fail as the value is unknown by the validation code. Since the validation code for all the elements of a Packer template is left to be implemented by plugins, we cannot rely on checking for unknown values everywhere, especially since the unknown references are replaced automatically by a value of the right type for the configuration expected. So, in order for such configurations to be validable, we add an extra option to packer validate, that will let users evaluate the datasources from a template.	3 years ago

Wilken Rivera	414b576def	[HPR-574] Add documentation for configuring Packer for HCP Packer (#12022 ) * Add documentation for configuring Packer for HCP Packer This change works to document the two configuration options for setting up Packer to publish build artifacts to an active HCP Packer registry. Currently the HashiCorp Cloud Platform documents the process for configuring Packer via a HCL template, which is the preferred route. This documentation focuses more on the use of environment variables for configuring Packer for HCP Packer, which is necessary for legacy JSON template users looking to publish to HCP Packer.

Lucas Bajolet	fabfc8f015	hcp-packer-image: add support for channel In addition to the current way of specifying an image based on an iteration on HCP Packer, which requires first declaring an iteration, and then referencing it from the image to build, we add the capacity of specifying a channel. This alternative will get the iteration linked to the channel, and is essentially a more convenient way to get an image's metadata from HCP Packer. This commit is essentially a backport from the Terraform HCP provider, for consistency between the two tools.	4 years ago
