Replaces Azure Run Command approach with Packer for Windows CI images.
Packer connects via WinRM (native, no x64 emulation on ARM64),
handles sysprep automatically, and provides full output logging.
- scripts/packer/windows-x64.pkr.hcl: Windows Server 2019 x64
- scripts/packer/windows-arm64.pkr.hcl: Windows 11 ARM64 (direct to gallery)
- scripts/packer/variables.pkr.hcl: shared variables
- machine.mjs: routes Azure Windows builds through Packer
[build images]
- machine.mjs: use C:\Scoop\apps\nodejs\current\node.exe instead of
bare 'node' which isn't in Azure Run Command PATH
- azure.mjs: spawnSafeFn now throws on non-zero exit code so bootstrap
failures actually stop the build instead of capturing broken images
[build images]
exploratory look into https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/1524
this still leaves that far off from being closed but an important first
step
this is important because this script is used to spawn our base images
for CI and will provide boxes for local testing
not sure how far i'll get but a rough "road to freebsd" map for anyone
reading:
- [x] this
- [ ] ensure `bootstrap.sh` can run successfully
- [ ] ensure WebKit can build from source
- [ ] ensure other dependencies can build from source
- [ ] add freebsd to our WebKit fork releases
- [ ] add freebsd to our Zig fork releases
- [ ] ensure bun can build from source
- [ ] run `[build images]` and add freebsd to CI
- [ ] fix runtime test failures
