Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an EOF issue with my deployment in Packer, and it’s becoming a persistent problem. I’ve been trying to resolve it for a week but haven’t had any success.

Here is my packer file

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Please enable the packer logging and post the log in a Gist. This should show where it's failing.

tenthirtyam commented 2 weeks ago

Additionally, check the vCenter Server for an error as well.
