ERPNext VM Builder

Steps to build a vm image

  • Install VirtualBox
  • Place a base.ova ubuntu base image in the current directory.
  • ./packer build vm.json builds a new vm.

How it works

Packer imports the base image in a virtual machine and boots it. It runs the following

  • scripts/install_ansible.sh sets up ansible on the vm.
  • The ansible/vm.yml playbook sets up the dependencies, installs a bench and sets up a site. It also puts it into production.
  • scripts/set_message.sh sets welcome message (with update instructions) in the vm.
  • scripts/zerofree.sh writes zero to all the free space in the disk, it shrinks the disk image.

For a build server

Running the build.py script builds a vm and puts it in ~/public. It also writes a latest.json file in ~/public with filename of the latest build and its md5sum.

Packer binary

The binary included in this tree is compiled (for linux amd64) with a fix for https://github.com/mitchellh/packer/issues/2447. We can remove it once a new version of packer is released.
