Hello,

I currently use a test remote preseed.cfg file on my gisthub in my build.json:

Something like this:

` "url=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/user/123/raw/123/preseed.cfg ",`

How can I use my local pressed.cfg instead?

Thanks

For the `vsphere-iso` builder you could use the http server feature of packer:

> **[VSphere ISO - Builders | Packer by HashiCorp](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware/vsphere-iso#http-directory-configuration)**
>
> This VMware Packer builder starts from an ISO and creates a vm using the
> vSphere API to build on a remote VMWare machine.

Or `cd_files`:

> **[VSphere ISO - Builders | Packer by HashiCorp](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware/vsphere-iso#optional-3)**
>
> This VMware Packer builder starts from an ISO and creates a vm using the
> vSphere API to build on a remote VMWare machine.

Or even `floppy_files` if floppy is still supported by hypervisor and kernel/ os:

> **[VSphere ISO - Builders | Packer by HashiCorp](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/vmware/vsphere-iso#floppy-configuration)**
