Support LXC builder #907

Closed mjanser closed 6 years ago

mjanser commented 7 years ago

Since version 1.1.0 of packer it supports LXC and LXD builders. Do you plan to add them to your templates as well?

The goal of Bento is to provide VMWare, VirtualBox and Parallels images for use with vagrant and test-kitchen. LXC is not officially supported by vagrant and there are other tools to combine test-kitchen with cgroup-containers, e.g. https://github.com/test-kitchen/kitchen-docker

@rmoriz hits the nail on the head there - we may offer libvirt and Hyper-V images in the future but the abstraction is specifically targeted at providers offered via Vagrant.

Closing this one out as we're not likely do do this since there is not much value/utility in doing so at present.
