This commit adds a new type of builder which builds an AMI based on a snapshot of an EBS volume which is provisioned on a "surrogate" instance. This can be used to build operating system images from scratch, but unlike the `chroot` builder does not require running from an AWS EC2 instance.
Packer Website
This subdirectory contains the entire source for the Packer website. This is a Middleman project, which builds a static site from these source files.
Contributions Welcome!
If you find a typo or you feel like you can improve the HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, we welcome contributions. Feel free to open issues or pull requests like any normal GitHub project, and we'll merge it in.
Running the Site Locally
Running the site locally is simple. Clone this repo and run the following commands:
make dev
Then open up localhost:4567. Note that some URLs you may need to append
".html" to make them work (in the navigation and such).
Keeping Tidy
To keep the source code nicely formatted, there is a make format target. This
runs htmlbeautify and pandoc to reformat the source code so it's nicely formatted.
make format
Note that you will need to install pandoc yourself. make format will skip it
if you don't have it installed.
