fix: update jenkins template used by supervisor builder by dilyar85 · Pull Request #583 · vmware/packer-plugin-vsphere

Description

This PR updates the example jenkins-template.pkr.hcl template file provided for the supervisor builder because the current GPG key is no longer valid, e.g.:

[1;31m==> vsphere-supervisor.vm: echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/kubernetes-apt-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.28/deb/ /�[0m
[0;32m    vsphere-supervisor.vm: deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/kubernetes-apt-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.28/deb/ /�[0m
[1;31m==> vsphere-supervisor.vm: + sudo apt-get -qq -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update�[0m
[1;31m==> vsphere-supervisor.vm: W: GPG error: https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 7198F4B714ABFC68�[0m
[1;31m==> vsphere-supervisor.vm: E: The repository 'https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/ Release' is not signed.

This PR changes it to use a LTS Jenkins release so hopefully we don't need to update it anymore. Verified this locally against a testbed with Supervisor installed:

$ packer build -var storage_class=wcpglobal-storage-profile -var ssh_bastion_username=root -var ssh_bastion_password=vmware -var keep_input_artifact=true -var ssh_username=packer -var supervisor_namespace=sdiliyaer-test -var image_name=vmi-52a81e36afa55e8e2 -var source_name=test-vm-new -var ssh_bastion_host=10.163.9.186 -var ssh_pa

vsphere-supervisor.vm: output will be in this color.
