Hi All,
we're checking some integration with packer and ovirt to automatically generate
templates for the golden image used by terraform. We found this outdated repo
https://github.com/ganto/packer-builder-ovirt.
Could you help us to verify the possibility to integrate Ovirt 4 with Hashicorp Packer?
Thanks,
Marcello

Hi Marcello,
I was looking for this functionality and bumped on to the above link as well. Just curios
to know, how do you do this currently, if not using the above github code?
I currently use ansible to create a temporary vm and create a template out of it (ansible
modules ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vm and ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_template).
Apologies for barging into your post.

Hi guys,
Another approach is to "packer" with qemu and use ansible to
upload/convert to template the result. That's how we do to build our
golden images.

Hi @Renaud, thanks for sharing your approach. One issue, I see (and experienced) with that
approach is, you are forced to have your CI on bare-metal (as packer would spin up an
emulator which is a problem requiring nested VMs); you cant have a hyperconverged solution
or host the CI/CD on cloud which I was trying earlier.

In my case I use vmware to generate the OVF template and I import it via virt-2-v scripts.
