Add examples/documentation for additional_params #14

Closed bubthegreat closed 10 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. While troubleshooting builds it would be great if we can pass in additional params for the build, like the -on-error=ask flag or to leave the problematic images in place.

Describe the solution you'd like Have documentation on the additional_params and which ones would be supported for the flags that can be used with packer build

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually running the equivalent packer build command - this is fine, in the end, but it means I have to manually pull all of my context out of my command and put it in the command line, including passwords

Additional context This came up as I was troubleshooting an apt update that was failing because of a package lock while cloud-init finished installing things.

additional_params can be used to pass any parameter that packer itself supports. While I agree it makes sense to show some examples, it really is up to the user to look up what parameters Packer can take and pass them accordingly. There's nothing special about it, the parameters are just passed as-is to Packer.
