Packer Plugin Nebius

Packer Plugin Nebius provides a Nebius Compute builder for creating custom images from base images. The plugin is designed to integrate cleanly into standard Packer workflows via packer init and the required plugin block. Configuration focuses on explicit control of base images, instance shape, disk layout, and image metadata. The builder is optimized for repeatable image pipelines in Nebius projects. It supports both the default boot-disk image flow and a secondary-disk flow where the VM boots from the base image but the published image is created from an attached data disk. Example usage is included to help you get started quickly. © Nebius BV, 2026.

Installation

Add the plugin to your Packer configuration and run packer init:

packer {
required_plugins {
nebius = {
source = "github.com/nebius/nebius"
version = ">= 0.0.1"
}
}
}

Or install a local build:

packer plugins install --path packer-plugin-nebius github.com/nebius/nebius

Builder: nebius-image

Key settings:

• parent_id - Project or folder to place resources in.
• service_account - public_key_id, account_id, and one of private_key or private_key_file.
• base_image - id or family.
• disk - size_gibibytes (minimum 10), optional type. This is always the VM boot disk.
• image_source - optional string. boot_disk by default; set to secondary_disk to publish the final image from an attached secondary disk instead of the boot disk.
• secondary_disk - required when image_source = "secondary_disk"; same fields as disk.
• network - associate_public_ip_address (optional, auto allocation) or public_allocation_id (optional, preallocated public ID).
• instance - platform and preset.
• image - name (required), optional family metadata.
• ssh_username - required; only ssh communicator is supported.

Examples:

• examples/boot-disk-image/build.pkr.hcl - creates an image from the provisioned boot disk.
• examples/secondary-disk-image/build.pkr.hcl - boots from the base image, provisions an attached secondary disk, and creates the final image from that secondary disk.
