Hello,

I’m having an issue when using my own packer custom image. I can’t change the deployed image. I get the error message : ‘almalinux’ is not a valid release. It should be one of: ‘jammy’

I generated the custom image as this :

git clone GitHub - canonical/packer-maas: Packer templates to create MAAS deployable images
cd packer-maas
cd alma9
make

maas root boot-resources create
name=‘custom/almalinux’
title=‘almalinux’
architecture=‘amd64/generic’
filetype=‘tgz’
content@=alma9.tar.gz
