Packer Templates for Rancher

This repo contains Packer templates suitable to create RKE VM's for a number of IaaS providers. These can be used as-is or used as a basis for further customisation

How to use

• Clone the repo
• Rename variables.json.example to variables.json
• Populate variables.json with information specific to your environment
• If desired, replace script.sh with one of the variants located in the corresponding customisation_scripts folder.
• Build with the template and variables files. For example : packer build -var-file=variables.json ubuntu-18.json
