Ansible role to install Packer on Ubuntu and macOS.

Used in the Ansible playbooks for setting up my workstations:

• markosamuli/machine
• markosamuli/linux-machine
• markosamuli/macos-machine

On macOS, Homebrew packer formula is used.

On Ubuntu, packer binary is installed into /opt/packer and symlink created in /usr/local/bin.

The following script will get the latest release from GitHub and update configuration:

./update-release

To change installed version, update the version and checksum:

packer_version: "1.3.2"
packer_checksum: "sha256:5e51808299135fee7a2e664b09f401b5712b5ef18bd4bad5bc50f4dcd8b149a1"
