I don't know enough to be able to do this in GCE without some help, not sure where to start. I was using the AWS packer image as an example but got stuck. If I have something to go off of, I can use that and work through it and/or ask questions as needed.

@amos.shapira I was just working through the packer script from the original script you gave me. I'll wait to see what you work out and see if I can apply something similar to GCE

with ubuntu 14.04 I still get the error above.
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on overlayfs,

I was just going to try substitute the 1.1.7 url with the 1.2.0 url. I'm stepping through these steps manually until I can get through it. Then I can do a packer script.

Hm, I can't get this command to work..

@syncer thanks for the heads up!

@amos.shapira what linux / version is this: ami-72343365 I can't find that ami.

I've used packer before, I'll go through those scripts and see if I can replicate something similar on GCE, thanks for the link!

I've performed the following steps:
