Create machine images with Packer
This project creates machine images with a full Graylog stack installed.
Requirements
You need a recent packer version, get it here.
To set your local properties copy the packerrc.sh.example to packerrc.sh and fill in the right values for your environment.
Before you run packer source the packerrc.sh in your terminal.
$ cd packer
$ . packerrc.sh
$ packer build aws.jsonThis e.g. creates an Amazon AMI for you.
Usage
We install in all machine images our Omnibus package that comes with the graylog-ctl command.
After spinning up the VM you have to login with the ubuntu user and execute at least
$ sudo graylog-ctl reconfigureThis will setup your Graylog installation and start all services. You can reach the web interface by
pointing your browser to the IP of the appliance: http://<IP address>:9000
The default login is Username: admin Password: admin. You can change the admin password:
$ sudo graylog-ctl set-admin-password !SeCreTPasSwOrD?
$ sudo graylog-ctl reconfigureNoticeable Options
