Does this plugin still work?

[frodopwns]

I have attempted to use this module but am getting this error:

==> docker: Running post-processor: docker-dockerfile
Build 'docker' errored: 1 error(s) occurred:

* Post-processor failed: Unknown artifact type: packer.docker
Can only tag from Docker builder artifacts.

==> Some builds didn't complete successfully and had errors:
--> docker: 1 error(s) occurred:

* Post-processor failed: Unknown artifact type: packer.docker
Can only tag from Docker builder artifacts.

==> Builds finished but no artifacts were created.

My build looks like this:

{
    "builders":[{
        "type": "docker",
        "image": "frodopwns/macrobase",
        "export_path": "image.tar",
        "volumes": {
            "/etc/ansible": "/etc/ansible",
            "/etc/ansible": "/etc/ansible",
            "/root/.ssh": "/root/.ssh"
        },
        "run_command": ["-d", "-i", "-t", "{{.Image}}", "/bin/bash"]
    }],
    "provisioners":[
        {
            "type": "ansible-local",
            "playbook_file": "provisioning/local.yml",
            "role_paths": [
                "provisioning/roles/manage_site"
            ],
            "host_vars": "provisioning/host_vars",
            "extra_arguments": ["--extra-vars 'test_var=muahahahah'", "-vvvv"]
        }
    ],
    "post-processors": [
      {
        "type": "docker-dockerfile",
        "entrypoint": ["/bin/bash", "/start.sh"],
        "expose": [80]
      }
  ]
}

Packer version: 0.8.6

I followed your instructions which were pretty clear until the part about putting the binary file in the "packer" directory. My packer files are all in /usr/local/bin at the moment so I put it in there...Is this wrong?

Thanks!

There is a comment here: hashicorp/packer#2180 that leads me to believe there may be an issue with Docker 1.8.x specifically.

Got this to work by switching "export_path": "image.tar", to "commit": true.

This works fine if you use commit: true or add a docker-import post processor when exporting the archive.
