Arch Question

[vektren]

Hello, This issue might be because I am on Arch.
But will ask anyway, I ensured all dependency is installed and got the DigitalOcean key.. looks okay then this:

/dev/fd/63: line 185: 230812 Killed packer build -var-file ~/.axiom/axiom.json ~/.axiom/packer.json

The full output here: https://pastebin.com/QAizNMaQ

I'll spin up ubuntu if I have to, but any advice would be great.

[tavdog]

from the readme : Packer is pretty easy everywhere, although manual (its really important you get the right version, if its too old, then the var-file syntax will fail.

[vektren]

Thank for the quick reply, can confirm the version is what's listed in the readme:

$ packer --version
1.5.6

Hey @blueteq!

Can you confirm that your ~/.axiom/ directory has files in it? And what the output of

packer build -var-file ~/.axiom/axiom.json ~/.axiom/packer.json

Is?

[vektren]

Yes, cloned files okay, listed below and the output of packer output is in Pastebin link.
I tried deleting the .axiom folder and ran the script again, however the same result.

I am no developer (very apparent I am sure), I did look at the packer.json files cloned. There are a few references to ubuntu and apt-repositories? Am I mistaken to think that this needs to be Pacman and not apt for Arch?

$ ls -al ~/.axiom/

Those commands are to run on the initialised server, which is Ubuntu, so it's not for your local arch system.

Can you show me the contents of ~/.axiom/axiom.json? Minus your key of course.

[vektren]

changed key, but this is it
{
"do_key": "57a22e9fb08c07.....................3ddb1",
"region": "sfo2",
"domain": "",
"default_size": "s-1vcpu-1gb",
"hunter_key": ""
}

Okkk - so it seems that this is a bug in an older packer (I have no idea how).

hashicorp/packer#8910

How did you install packer? Can you try from the AUR? I use an AUR Helper called yay, the command would just be "yay -S packer".

[vektren]

Thank you, Ill close issue as not related to Axiom. I'll get Yay installed and work from there.
