Hyper-V Builder: "Error getting SSH address: No ip address."

afretwell · October 30, 2022, 5:25am

Im attempting to create an Ubuntu 22.04 image using Packer and the Hyper-V builder plugin. My boot command runs and Ubuntu installs, however it just sits at the select language screen then SSH times out(4hr) without running my cloud-init user data to configure the fresh install of Ubuntu.

My packer file:

packer {

I am unable to run cloud-init because packer is unaware of my VMs IP, I see above earlier in the logs that it is aware it has an IP, also I can manually configure the VM and confirm it does have an IP and access to public internet. Im unsure of where to look or what to do next, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I was able to resolve this issue by adding my rsa ssh key to my user-data.yaml as an ‘authorized-keys:’ block and bypass password authentication.

To properly construct a virtual switch in Hyper-V for working with Packer, follow these steps:

Open the Hyper-V Manager console and click on the Virtual Switch Manager option in the Actions pane.
Select the External option, and then click on Create Virtual Switch.
Name your virtual switch ‘Bridge’ and select the physical network adapter that will be used for the external network.
