Lucas Bajolet	eb9e1a4795	packer: remove implicit required plugins Since this feature is no longer something we plan to activate later, as it contradicts with our efforts to remove bundled plugins, and encouraging users to move to either manually installing plugins, or managing them through `packer init', we clean-up the code for this feature.	3 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	2b32903fe3	Document PLSP-related environment variables Since we added support for PLSPs recently, and it will be released as part of 1.9.3, we add some documentation regarding the environment variables we added, and a note regarding their relation to PLSP support.	3 years ago

Lucas Bajolet	392232933f	website: add usage notice to init The `packer init' command's wording was not clear, so it was changed in a preceding commit, and this commit aims to add more details on how the command is meant to be used, along with a simple example.	3 years ago

Lucas Bajolet	8beddcf52a	website: fix header on configure page When the config file header was reworked, an erroneous link was included and placed so close to the header that it was rendered verbatim in the final documentation page. By adding an extra empty line in between the anchor link and the header, this renders correctly.	3 years ago
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	aeffaa790f	docs: add a paragraph on fingerprint generation (#12464 ) * docs: add a paragraph on fingerprint generation Since version 1.9.0+ changed the way Packer generates fingerprints for HCP Packer, we add a small paragraph to explain how it used to be generated before, and how it changed in this version. * Apply suggestions from code review --------- Co-authored-by: Wilken Rivera <wilken@hashicorp.com>	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. In light of the new HCP Packer documentation page we've opted for a shorter version of the HCP Packer introduction section. * Applying the first round of suggestions to tighten up the documentation. * Move HCP Packer side bar to top * Move intro into docs * Add redirects for intro pages Co-authored-by: Laura Pacilio <83350965+laurapacilio@users.noreply.github.com>	3 years ago
