Rancher helps automate the process of creating Packer Build templates, including resolution of ISO information. Currently, Rancher supports a limited number of distributions, builders, post-processors, and provisioners.

The default configurations are designed to be consistent with Vagrant conventions, except for RAM allocation and HD size. Please remember to change security information to suit your needs and do not make your security information part of any Git repo, or any other code repository.

##Distributions## Supported distributions require an entry in the supported.toml file, along with a concrete implementation of the release interface for that distribution. The structure of the supported file requires some maintenance overhead in the form of updating supported version information for each distribution. The distribution's implementation of release should handle any release specific information that may occur.

###Supported Distributions

• CentOS
• Ubuntu

##Builders Rancher currently supports a limited number of builders as it was originally created to remove pain points associated with these builders. Rancher uses the same builder codes as Packer.

###Supported Builders

• VMWare: vmware-iso
• VirtualBox: virtualbox-iso

##Post-Processors Rancher currently supports only one post-processor. Overrides are not supported.

###Supported Post-Processors

• Vagrant: vagrant

##Provisioners Rancher currently supports only one provisioner. Overrides are not supported.

###Supported Provisioners
