Building Packer Images

1. Set your AWS key/secret as an environment variable

   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="xxxxxxxxx"
   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="xxxxxxx
   

2. Create all base images

   ./build-all.sh
   

3. Run the desired individual build script

   packer build build-name.json
   

4. To create a custom project box, copy the closest match into the packer-projects folder, update the base image source, add/create the appropriate shell script(s), and run the build.
