Is it possible to keep the instance that we used to create the SoftLayer image instead of destroying it? I would like to keep it around so that I can do some troubleshooting. Is there an option that allows you to do this?

Hi,

I've followed your instructions to build the softlayer builder but I'm getting the following error.

$ go build -o ~/go/packer-builder-softlayer main.go

github.com/leonidlm/packer-builder-softlayer/builder/softlayer

builder/softlayer/builder.go:263: cannot use artifact (type *Artifact) as type packer.Artifact in return argument:
*Artifact does not implement packer.Artifact (missing State method)

Can you shed any light on that for me?

Thanks

Hello, I'm using IBM Cloud Bluemix / Softlayer services and I want to collaborate to make this Packer builder more usable, I make a pull request with some fixes to the package and docs updates.

I found some issues:

• packer repo has changed and some inner packages are in diferent locations.
• dependencies aren't vendored.
• go ssh library is deprecated.
• softlayer APi add METADATA block devices that breaks the capture image script.
• README can be updated with some userful install information
• You can add IBM, Bluemix, Softlater tags to this repo to powers the metadata.

Hi leonidlem/chulkilee/mitchellh,

I have been trying to build packer softlayer plugin on CentOS 7. I have followed below steps:

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
mkdir work
export GOPATH=$HOME/work
cd work/
mkdir src bin pkg

Install Bazaar and Mercurial
yum install bzr
yum install mercurial

go get -u github.com/mitchellh/gox
Next, clone this repository into $GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh
git clone https://github.com/mitchellh/packer.git
cd packer

[root@deskt packer]# make updatedeps

When running above command I am getting below error:
ERROR: go get failed. Your git branch may have changed; you were on master (a55d2f1).

INFO: Currently on master (a55d2f1)
[root@deskt packer]#

If I re run this above command it is working.

Then running next command.
[root@deskt packer]# make

Delete me if github ever allows admins to delete issues

Packer-builder-softlayer is not working with newer versions,

I am getting below error when i run

Any idea?

Continuing on issue from hashicorp/packer#1417

I am a little bit new to Go and not sure exactly how the structure should be, but it appears that lines 149, 180, and 222, which are pointing to json template files need to include the "src/github.com/leonidlm/packer-builder-softlayer" as part of the template path. I hard-coded it in as a workaround to my previous issue, but I don't know how my directory is meant to be structured otherwise or if I'm doing something else that's wrong. Thanks!

If you're willing to do the work to submit a PR, I will work to get it accepted.

The code only supports instance_disk_capacity. How can I specify two or more disks for provisioning (and imaging) purposes?

Steps to get me here:

1. fresh vagrant box running cent7
2. install go v1.4
3. get packer to build (0.8.6)
4. Find and fix problem with ssh (builder/softlayer/ssh.go builder/softlayer/step_create_ssh_key.go both refer to "code.google.com/p/go.crypto/ssh". The 'right' version appears to be "golang.org/x/crypto/ssh")
5. clone this repo
6. run this command:

$ go build -o $GOPATH/bin main.go
# github.com/leonidlm/packer-builder-softlayer/builder/softlayer
builder/softlayer/builder.go:45: undefined: packer.ConfigTemplate
$ echo $?

I tried installing the builder as per the instructions in the README but the build fails. Here is my output.

I tried it with the Vagrantbox in case it is an environment issue but see the same error.

to build this i had to

1. checkout the 0.8.6 release of packer from my $GOPATH/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer directory, i.e.

cd ~/go/src/github.com/mitchellh/packer
git checkout f8f7b7a34c1be06058f5aca23a51247db12cdbc5

1. replace the "code.google.com/p/gosshold/ssh" import in 'builder/softlayer/step_create_ssh_key.go' with "github.com/tobyjaffey/gosshold/ssh"

I cloned the repository per instructions in Readme of this repo, and tried to build.
At first, I ran into these errors:
builder/softlayer/step_create_ssh_key.go:4:2: cannot find package "code.google.com/p/gosshold/ssh" in any of:
/aspera/usr/builder/packer/go/src/code.google.com/p/gosshold/ssh (from $GOROOT)

/aspera/usr/builder/packer/go/src/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (from $GOROOT)
/aspera/usr/builder/packer/gopath/src/golang.org/x/crypto/ssh (from $GOPATH)

But then I ran these commands:
go get github.com/mitchellh/multistep go build github.com/mitchellh/multistep go get golang.org/x/crypto/ssh go build golang.org/x/crypto/ssh

I also replaced
"code.google.com/p/gosshold/ssh" with "golang.org/x/crypto/ssh" in step_create_ssh_key.go, per instructions here: #27

However, now I'm running into this issue:
builder/softlayer/builder.go:202: cannot use commHost (type func("github.com/mitchellh/multistep".StateBag) (string, error)) as type func("github.com/mitchellh/packer/vendor/github.com/mitchellh/multistep".StateBag) (string, error) in field value

builder/softlayer/builder.go:205: cannot use new(common.StepProvision) (type *common.StepProvision) as type "github.com/mitchellh/multistep".Step in array or slice literal:

have Cleanup("github.com/mitchellh/packer/vendor/github.com/mitchellh/multistep".StateBag)
want Cleanup("github.com/mitchellh/multistep".StateBag)

What should i do to get builds running again?

Hi,
I'm currently encountering the following error in the image creation process with certain builds:

==> softlayer: Preparing for capturing the instance image. Image snapshot type is Flex.
==> softlayer: Waiting for an image (4397b92d-4217-4b7a-912f-da1fafd365d7) to finish it's creation...
==> softlayer: Error waiting for instance to become ACTIVE again after image creation call. Error: Timeout while waiting to for the instance to become ready

Any ideas? Thanks.

Your readme states:

As already stated above, a good way of reviewing the available options is by inspecting the output of the following API call:

curl https://<username>:<api_key>@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getCreateObjectOptions.json

(first off, that URL fails against softlayer. I believe the correct URL would be: https://${SL_USERNAME}:${SL_API_KEY}@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/getCreateObjectOptions.json )

Real issue is that I don't see a way though the config or code to pass further options to SL. Specifically, I'm most interested in setting privateNetworkOnlyFlag to True. But others will be required.

I cloned the packer and packer-build-softlayer repositories and built using go1.3.1 linux/amd64. I tried to run packer build on a couple of samples but it fails as follows:

Sending new request to softlayer: https://xxxxx:[email protected]/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/createObject
packer-builder-softlayer: panic: interface conversion: interface is nil, not string
...
github.com/leonidlm/packer-builder-softlayer/builder/softlayer.(_stepCreateInstance).Run(0xc2080c6090, 0x7f0dca1d8830, 0xc2080ee2d0, 0x0)

github.com/mitchellh/multistep.(_BasicRunner).Run(0xc20814e0c0, 0x7f0dca1d8830, 0xc2080ee2d0)

I am currently building off of a clean platform image every time I try to run a packer build with softlayer, but I was wondering if there would be any way for me to launch an image that I have already created, and then make changes via packer. I didn't see any reference to this in the README and was wondering if it's not an option right now or just not in README?

I can't see what license this code is released under. It would be helpful to describe this somewhere, especially for any corporate users.

I have installed and configured Go ( GOPATH, GOROOT configured) but still struggling to configure packer for Soft Layer. please give your insight.

HI
How to clone into $GOPATH/src/github.com/leonidlm/packer-builder-softlayer

Is there any command...

I'm attempting to set up packer-builder-softlayer and get the following errors:

Some packages like sshold don't seem to be available anymore, from what I can find. What's the best way to get this setup?

I'm on Centos 6.6.
