AWS new private IP address inside my bash script

rmarcandier · July 24, 2020, 6:06pm

Hello guys,

I am trying to create a GHE (GitHub Enterprise) inside AWS and once it’s up and running I need to perform a few curls to install the license, settings.json file and my public key.

How can I grab the IP of this new instance during “building” time, and use this IP inside my curls commands?

packer.json

{
    "variables" : {
        "aws_access_key": "{{env `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` }}",
        "aws_secret_key": "{{env `AWS_SECRET_KEY` }}"
    },
    "builders": [{
        "vpc_id": "vpc-xxxxx",
        "subnet_id": "subnet-xxxxxxx",
        "security_group_id": "sg-xxxxxxxx",
        "type":"amazon-ebs",
