This pull request changes only the readme file.

Amendment is to prompt anyone following the instructions to install the packer digital ocean plugin.

Without doing this I was unable to continue.

Hi and thanks for this! It has been a while since I tested this setup 😅 I am looking at the digitalocean packer plugin and it probably makes more sense to add a section like this to the packer build config:

packer {
  required_plugins {
    digitalocean = {
      version = ">= 1.0.4"
      source  = "github.com/digitalocean/digitalocean"
    }
  }
}

And then the extra step in the README would just be to run packer init. Wdyt?

that's loads better, thanks! Also thanks for sharing this work, it's helped me understand the hashicorp stack much more.

Happy to hear that! I hope to update this repository some time in the future with the newest versions and tools from HashiCorp. E.g. I believe Boundary could be a great addition here to get secure access into the DB and servers sitting inside private networks.
