(So far, I've only ported over the Ubuntu builds; I'm telling myself I'll get the rest moved over after *finally* publishing this post.) -Once I had the builds working locally, I then explored how to automate them. I wound up setting up a GitHub Actions workflow and a rootless runner to perform the builds for me. I'll write up notes on *that* part of the process soon, but first let's run through how I set up Packer at all. That will be plenty to chew on for now. +Once I got the builds working locally, I then explored how to automate them.

I'll write up notes on *that* part of the process soon, but first let's run through how I set up Packer at all. That will be plenty to chew on for now. This post will cover *a lot* of the Packer implementation details but may gloss over some general setup steps; you'll need at least passing familiarity with [Packer](https://www.packer.io/) and [Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/) to take this on.
