The following packages/applications need to be installed on the build host:

• ansible (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html)
• cloud-localds (via cloud-image-utils https://manpages.debian.org/testing/cloud-image-utils/cloud-localds.1.en.html)
• packer (https://www.packer.io/docs/install/index.html)

cd packer
./keygen.sh

cloud-localds ./artifacts/seed.img ./artifacts/user-data

packer build -var 'ssh_password=<PASSWORD>' oob-mgmt-server.json
packer build -var 'ssh_password=<PASSWORD>' oob-mgmt-switch.json
packer build -var 'ssh_password=<PASSWORD>' switch.json
packer build server.json

The resulting images can now be uploaded into Cumulus AIR and built into a bootcamp topology. An example topology definition is provided in bootcamp_topology.json.
