Document why packer needed here

Open Arlington1985 opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

It's completely unknown why we use packer with docker installation? The installation finishes successfully even packer part fails. Please document the purpose of it with just a few words at least

packer is only needed for building the docker image from source. if you are just consuming the docker image, then it's not required

Yes but this part should be properly documented I think

I agree, feel free to send a PR to improve the doc. Or even better, create a raw Dockerfile and move away from packer. I think the current setup is an overkill.
