I’m using HashiCorp Packer to create an image for AWS. The process works fine with Amazon Linux 2, but I encounter a “Permission denied” error when using Amazon Linux 2023.
It appears that there is the stricter permissions on the folder “/tmp” directory in Amazon Linux 2023 that prevents running shell scripts.
Is there a way that I can tell packer to use “/var/tmp” instead of “/tmp” to run the shell script?
I appreciate for any guidance and assistance to resolve this issue.
Here is the detail of the log that mentioned “Permission denied”
=============================
==> Connected to SSH!
==> Provisioning with shell script: /tmp/packer-shell179473623

Thank you for your assistance.
