profile.vm-packer-build — Runbook

Trigger a Packer OVA build on the local workstation (build-machines lineage).

Prerequisites

Packer >= 1.10 (packer version)
VirtualBox >= 7.0 (VBoxManage --version)
Template directory from the-custodian/infra/build-machines/haskell
sandboxer on PATH

Build OVA

sandboxer create \
  --profile profile.vm-packer-build \
  --input packer_template=~/the-custodian/infra/build-machines/haskell \
  --input vm_name=haskell-build \
  --host localhost

Progress notes emit to State Hub during packer init and packer build.

On success, reachability.remote_dir points at the produced .ova file.

Optional Packer variables

Pass extra -var flags via inputs prefixed with packer_var_:

sandboxer create \
  --profile profile.vm-packer-build \
  --input packer_template=~/the-custodian/infra/build-machines/haskell \
  --input vm_name=haskell-build \
  --input packer_var_memory=16384 \
  --host localhost

Destroy

sandboxer destroy <sandbox_id>

Removes the sandbox record only; the OVA artifact on disk is preserved.

Attach workflow (post-build)

After import/setup per build-machines README, use profile.vm-haskell-build for workspace attach — see docs/runbooks/profile-vm-haskell-build.md.
