Add Properties to image about packer-plugin-openstack HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @JoeyG1973 thanks for reaching out here. This is a community maintained plugin so the Packer team won't work on this change. But we are happy to review a pull-request if you are or a member of the community is interested in making the change.

That said, are these properties different from the properties that can be set via the the external_source_image_properties?

Hi @nywilken,

The description on external_source_image_properties clarifies nothing so I am not really sure what it is supposed to do. :)

I am still trying to figure out what https://www.packer.io/plugins/builders/openstack#external_source_image_properties is supposed to be. Is it a filter on properties for what external image to choose or does it set properties on the packer output image?

Hello,

I asked myself the same question a few days ago and found your issue.

So here my 2 cents:

• As defined here, the external_source_image_properties is used as options given during image creation
• After some tests, I confirm that added properties are properly set to the generated image
• I found the documentation a bit confusing on this subject

Hoping that my comment will be useful.
