Usage

Add the post-processor to your packer template:

{
    "post-processors": [
      {
        "type": "ovftool",
        "host": "esxi01.local",
        "password": "top secret",
        "vm_name": "test"
      }
    ]
}

Available configuration options:

• ovftool_path Path to ovftool binary.

• output_dir where to store OVF template files.

• host Address of ESXi server. Should be accessable by ssh and by vi://

• port Port for SSH access.
