After the reboot, the process picks back up with the pre-final scripts.
#### Build Script ##### Pre-Final
1. `cleanup-cloud-init.sh` performs a [`clean`](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/cli.html#clean) action to get the template ready to be re-used:
```shell
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# cleans up cloud-init state
set -eu
echo '>> Cleaning up cloud-init state...'
sudo cloud-init clean -l
```
2. `cleanup-packages.sh` uninstalls packages and kernel versions which are no longer needed:
```shell
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# cleans up unneeded packages to reduce the size of the image
set -eu

3. `build/linux/22-04-lts/hardening.sh` is a build-specific script to perform basic hardening tasks toward the CIS Level 2 server benchmark. It doesn't have a lot of fancy logic because it is *only intended to be run during this package process* when it's making modifications from a known state. It's long so I won't repost it here, and I may end up writing a separate post specifically about this hardening process, but you're welcome to view the full script for [Ubuntu 22.04 here](https://github.com/jbowdre/packer-proxmox-templates/blob/main/builds/linux/ubuntu/22-04-lts/hardening.sh).
4. `zero-disk.sh` fills a file with zeroes until the disk runs out of space, and then removes it, resulting in a reduced template image size:
```shell
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# zeroes out free space to reduce disk size
set -eu
echo '>> Zeroing free space to reduce disk size...'
sudo sh -c 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M || true; sync; sleep 1; sync'
sudo sh -c 'rm -f /EMPTY; sync; sleep 1; sync'
```
5. `generalize.sh` performs final steps to get the template ready for cloning, including removing the `sudoers.d` configuration which allowed passwordless elevation during the setup:
```shell
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# prepare a VM to become a template.
set -eu

### Packer Build
At this point, I should (in theory) be able to kick off the build from my laptop with a Packer command - but first I'll need to set up some environment variables so that Packer will be able to communicate with my Vault server:
```shell
export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.tailnet-name.ts.net/" # [tl! .cmd:1]
export VAULT_TOKEN="hvs.CAES[...]GSFQ"
```
Okay, now I can run the Ubuntu 22.04 build from the top-level of my Packer directory like so:
```shell
packer init builds/linux/ubuntu/22-04-lts # [tl! .cmd:1]
packer build -on-error=cleanup -force builds/linux/ubuntu/22-04-lts

It'll take a few minutes while Packer waits on SSH, and while *I* wait on that I can look at the Proxmox console for the VM to follow along with the installer's progress:
![Proxmox VM console showing the installer progress](proxmox-console-progress.png)
That successful SSH connection signifies the transition from the `source {}` block to the `build {}` block, so it starts with uploading any certs and the `join-domain.sh` script before getting into running those post-install tasks:

That was a *lot* of prep work but now that everything is in place it only takes about eleven minutes to create a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 template, and that template is fully up-to-date and hardened to about 95% of the CIS Level 2 benchmark. This will save me a lot of time as I build new VMs in my homelab.
### Wrapper Script
But having to export the Vault variables and run the Packer commands manually is a bit of a chore. So I put together a couple of helper scripts to help streamline things. This will really come in handy as I add new OS variants and schedule automated builds with GitHub Actions.
First, I made a `vault-env.sh` script to hold my Vault address and the token for Packer.
{{% notice note "Sensitive Values!" %}}
The `VAULT_TOKEN` variable is a sensitive value and should be protected. This file should be added to `.gitignore` to ensure it doesn't get inadvertently committed to a repo.
{{% /notice %}}
```shell
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eu
export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.tailnet-name.ts.net/"
export VAULT_TOKEN="hvs.CAES[...]GSFQ"
```
This `build.sh` scripts expects a single argument: the name of the build to create. It then checks to see if the `VAULT_TOKEN` environment variable is already set; if not, it tries to sources it from `vault-env.sh`. And then it kicks off the appropriate build.
```shell
# torchlight! {"lineNumbers":true}
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Run a single packer build
#
# Specify the build as an argument to the script. Ex:
# ./build.sh ubuntu2204
set -eu
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo """
Syntax: $0 [BUILD]
Where [BUILD] is one of the supported OS builds:
ubuntu2204 ubuntu2404
"""
exit 1
fi
if [ ! "${VAULT_TOKEN+x}" ]; then
source vault-env.sh || ( echo "No Vault config found"; exit 1 )
fi
build_name="${1,,}"
build_path=
case $build_name in
ubuntu2204)
build_path="builds/linux/ubuntu/22-04-lts/"
;;
ubuntu2404)
build_path="builds/linux/ubuntu/24-04-lts/"
;;
*)
echo "Unknown build; exiting..."
exit 1
;;
esac
packer init "${build_path}"
packer build -on-error=cleanup -force "${build_path}"
```
Then I can kick off a build with just:
```shell
./build.sh ubuntu2204 # [tl! .cmd]
proxmox-iso.linux-server: output will be in this color. # [tl! .nocopy:6]
==> proxmox-iso.linux-server: Creating CD disk...
proxmox-iso.linux-server: xorriso 1.5.6 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
proxmox-iso.linux-server: xorriso : NOTE : Environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH encountered with value 315532800
proxmox-iso.linux-server: Drive current: -outdev 'stdio:/tmp/packer2372067848.iso'
[...]
```
### Up Next...
Being able to generate a template on-demand is pretty cool, but the next stage of this project is to integrate it with a GitHub Actions workflow so that the templates can be built automatically on a schedule or as the configuration gets changed. But this post is long enough (and I've been poking at it for long enough) so that explanation will have to wait for another time.
(If you'd like a sneak peak of what's in store, take a self-guided tour of [the GitHub repo](https://github.com/jbowdre/packer-proxmox-templates).)
Stay tuned!
