Upstream packer-windows uses OpenSSH, eg.
The steps highlighted in the following script install and configure the Microsoft native port of OpenSSH
Packer could still use WinRM communicator and just additionally install the SSH service.
Currently the WinRM communicator is the better way to do it.
With the problem in #83 to mount the shared folder for some Serverspec tests in a Jenkins build agent environment I also tried another option.
I changed the default shared folder to an rsync synced folder
But then the next Jenkins build aborts with an error. Oh man, of course, the Windows VM does not have SSH and rsync installed. 😅
Well, the upstream repo still has the (non-Microsoft) OpenSSH as communicator and you also can install an rsync binary. Microsoft's OpenSSH native port has reached 1.0.0 (still not production ready).
2018 - the return of SSH in packer-windows boxes? 😂
