How to build

Prerequisites

rbenv

On MacOS:

brew install rbenv
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
rbenv init
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

On Linux:

Note: On Graphical environments, when you open a shell, sometimes ~/.bash_profile doesn't get loaded You may need to source ~/.bash_profile manually or use ~/.bashrc

apt update
apt install autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm5 libgdbm-dev
wget -q https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv-installer/raw/master/bin/rbenv-installer -O- | bash
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
rbenv init
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

libraries

rbenv install 2.4.6
rbenv local 2.4.6
rbenv versions
gem install bundler
bundle install

AWS CLI utility

You need to set up the AWS CLI utility for packer to be able to interact with AWS. Check this article out.

Make sure you have set up your credentials either in ~/.aws/credentials or as an environment variable as described in the previous link.

In order to test your AWS CLI setup, run the following command and observe the output (should be similar):

user@localhost ~ $ aws iam get-user
{
    "User": {
        "Path": "/",
        "UserName": "YOUR_USERNAME",
        "UserId": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
        "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::00000000000000:user/YOUR_USERNAME",
        "CreateDate": "2019-05-10T22:10:20Z",
        "PasswordLastUsed": "2019-06-03T12:34:06Z"
    }
}

Build

make

How to test

make kitchen

TODO

• automate the AMI-ID by telling kitchen to read it from the json produced by packer
