Packer Image create a snapshot instead of an image

Posted on November 22, 2023

I had created a packer image that runs a shell script after booting a droplet using ubuntu.

The problem is that if I use that snapshot it will create droplets with the same data from the snapshot (obviously because is a “copy of another droplet”)

what I want to achieve is to run the script each time a droplet is created from that “snapshot” not to have the same data propagated over every droplet.
