Run the prepare_iso.sh script with two arguments: the path to an Install OS X.app or the InstallESD.dmg contained within, and an output directory. See Remote Management freezing issue for more information. Note: VirtualBox users currently have to disable Remote Management to avoid periodic freezing of the VM by adding -D DISABLE_REMOTE_MANAGEMENT to the prepare_iso.sh options. OS X's installer cannot be bootstrapped as easily as can Linux or Windows, and so exists the prepare_iso.sh script to perform modifications to it that will allow for an automated install and ultimately allow Packer and later, Vagrant, to have SSH access. The prepare_vdi.sh script uses AutoDMG's approach running the installer's OSInstall.pkg creating a fresh install in a temporary DMG sparse disk image which is converted into a VDI disk image using VirtualBox's command line tools. It may be possible to work around this by modifying the rc script directly with the contents of our postinstall script. The rest of the OS install still completes successfully. The prepare_iso.sh script in this repo makes use of functionality Apple supports as part of a NetInstall workflow, but because of this (undocumented) additional requirement of additional packages needing to be signed by Apple as of 10.12.4, these tools can't currently install the necessary configuration for Packer to log in to perform additional configuration, installing guest tools, etc. The package veewee-config.pkg is not signed.' This produces an error with the text, 'macOS could not be installed on your computer. Important note: The Sierra 10.12.4 installer seems to no longer support including custom packages as part of the installer, unless they are signed by Apple. To build a VMware box of an OS version less than El Capitan (10.11), note that as of VMare Fusion 8.5.4, you will need to change the tools_upload_flavor from darwin to darwinPre15. I haven't found there to be any functional differences depending on these configured guest versions.

This project currently only supplies a single Packer template ( template.json), so the hypervisor's configured guest OS version (i.e.

Use with the Fusion provider requires Vagrant 1.3.0, and use with the VirtualBox provider Vagrant 1.6.3 if using the Rsync file sync mechanism. It's possible to build a machine with different admin account settings, and without the vagrant ssh keys, for use with other systems, e.g. The Hashicorp VMware Fusion provider (recommended).The machine built by this Packer template defaults to being configured for use with Vagrant, and supports three Vagrant providers by using Packer's respective builders: I plan on removing VeeWee support from this repo soon, but VeeWee can still make use of the preparation script and the OS X template remains in the core VeeWee repo. These were originally developed for VeeWee, but support for the VeeWee template has not been maintained since Packer's release and so it is only provided for historical purposes. This is a set of Packer templates and support scripts that will prepare an OS X installer media that performs an unattended install for use with Packer and VeeWee.
