OEL8 post-processors to save on local server

Packer
1

Hi,

Can anyone help please. :smiley:

I have created a Oracle Linux 8 template that works OK. I run “#docker build x” form a Local Oracle Linux 7 server that takes the ISO form a location on the vsphire datastore and creates an build on the same vsphire.

But I’m trying to copy it back to my local Oracle Linux 7 server and then convert to OVF template, via the post-processors section.

But I cant seem to find anything about copying it back to a local Linux server, its all on VMware / AWS.

Thanks,
Neil
