packer-builder/packer-version¶

Packer version to install ("latest" auto-resolves the newest stable).

The version of Packer to install on the builder node.

The default, latest, auto-resolves the newest published release from HashiCorp's checkpoint API at install time. Pin a specific version (for reproducible builds) by setting it to a release published on releases.hashicorp.com, e.g. 1.15.4.

Either way, the Linux archive for the builder's architecture (amd64 or arm64) is downloaded and its SHA256 checksum is verified against the published SHA256SUMS before install.
