using packer vmware-vmx and provisioning a machine that does not support ssh with password

Using the vmware-vmx builder I don't see a way to specify the SSH private key to use. The only options I see are:

ssh_username
ssh_password

SSH access using passwords are disabled and I only allow public key SSH. Thanks.

Solution

  • You should use ssh_private_key_file.
