UpCloud Import

Type: upcloud-import
Artifact BuilderId: packer.post-processor.upcloud-import

The UpCloud importer can be used to import raw disk images as private templates to UpCloud.

Required

Username and password configuration arguments can be omitted if environment variables UPCLOUD_USERNAME and UPCLOUD_PASSWORD are set.

• zones ([]string) - The list of zones in which the template should be imported

• template_name (string) - The name of the template. Use replace_existing to replace existing template with same name or suffix template name with e.g. timestamp to avoid errors during import

Optional

• username (string) - The username to use when interfacing with the UpCloud API.

• password (string) - The password to use when interfacing with the UpCloud API.

• token (string) - The API token to use when interfacing with the UpCloud API. This is mutually exclusive with username and password.

• replace_existing (bool) - Replace existing template if one exists with the same name. Defaults to false.

• storage_tier (string) - The storage tier to use. Available options are maxiops, archive, and standard. Defaults to maxiops.

• state_timeout_duration (duration string | ex: "1h5m2s") - The amount of time to wait for resource state changes. Defaults to 60m.

Example Usage

Import raw disk image from filesystem using compress post-processor to compress image before upload

variable "username" {
  type        = string
  description = "UpCloud API username"
  default     = env("UPCLOUD_USERNAME")
}

variable "password" {
  type        = string
  description = "UpCloud API password"
  default     = env("UPCLOUD_PASSWORD")
  sensitive   = true
}

variable "image_path" {
  type        = string
  description = "Image path"
  default     = env("UPCLOUD_IMAGE_PATH")
}

source "file" "import-example" {
  source = var.image_path
  target = "tmp/${basename(var.image_path)}"
}

build {
  sources = ["file.import-example"]

  post-processors {
    post-processor "compress" {
      output = "tmp/${basename(var.image_path)}.gz"
    }
    post-processor "upcloud-import" {
      template_name    = "import-demo"
      replace_existing = true
      username         = "${var.username}"
      password         = "${var.password}"
      zones            = ["pl-waw1", "fi-hel2"]
      storage_tier     = "maxiops"
    }
  }
}

Import image created by QEMU builder

source "qemu" "example" {
  format           = "raw"
  # .. rest of the parameters ..
}

build {
  sources = ["source.qemu.example"]
  post-processors {
    post-processor "upcloud-import" {
      template_name    = "${local.template_name}"
      replace_existing = true
      zones            = ["pl-waw1"]
    }
  }
}
