##Introduction

The packer-qemu-templates provides Packer templates for unattended building of relevant virtual machine images in the qcow2 format for use with KVM.

In addition, all templates for use with Vagrant, through vagrant-libvirt, are configured to let Packer create a Vagrant box through the libvirt post-processor.

##Status

Currently the project includes templates for Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian and Windows. In other words, the OSes of the VMs I and the other contributors use on a day-to-day basis.

Feel free to contribute more:-)

##Usage

###Build qcow2 image Go into the relevant template directory and run packer build on the relevant json file.

$ cd windows
$ packer build windows-2012-R2-standard-amd64.json

There is also a version with Vagrant SSH keys included:

$ cd windows
$ packer build windows-2012-R2-standard-amd64-vagrant.json

Add the box to Vagrant

$ vagrant box add windows-2012R2.box --name windows-2012R2
