Packer RHEL Image plugin

Packer plugin used to download RHEL images from access.redhat.com

Packer 1.7.3 or later is required.

Usage example

packer {
  required_plugins {
    rhel-image = {
      version = ">= 0.2.0"
      source = "github.com/ygalblum/rhel-image"
    }
  }
}

variable "image_checksum" {
  type = string
  default = "<Checksum of the image to download>"
}

data "rhel-image" "install" {
  offline_token = < The Generate Offline token for access.redhat.com >
  image_checksum = "${var.image_checksum}"
}

source "qemu" "install" {
  iso_url = data.rhel-image.install.image_path
  iso_checksum = "sha256:${var.image_checksum}"
  <...>
}

build {
  sources = ["source.qemu.install"]
}

Starting from version 1.7, Packer supports a new packer init command allowing automatic installation of Packer plugins. Read the Packer documentation for more information.
