## Your Very First Bubble |
|
|
|
The very first Bubble you launch will build a [Packer](https://packer.io) image that will be used for this and |
|
|
|
subsequent launches. |
|
|
|
The very first Bubble you launch will use a [packer image](packer.md) that was created |
|
|
|
during [activation](activation.md). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This process adds about 20-25 minutes to the launch process. |
|
|
|
### Packer Image Creation |
|
|
|
Normally the packer images are created during activation, and are generally available within about 20 minutes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the packer image is building, the progress meter will appear to be "stuck" at 1%. This is normal. |
|
|
|
If you're curious, you can observe the packer image being built in your Bubble logs. |
|
|
|
If the required packer image is still being built when you launch your first Bubble, it's OK, |
|
|
|
the launcher will wait for the packer image to be ready. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This only happens the first time you launch a Bubble. |
|
|
|
Later launches can skip this step, because Bubble will detect that the packer image already exists. |
|
|
|
If for some reason the packer image does not exist and is not currently being built, |
|
|
|
then the launcher will start building the packer image right then. |
|
|
|
This process adds about 20 minutes to the launch process. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When launching a Bubble and the required packer image is still being built, |
|
|
|
the progress meter will appear to be "stuck" at 1% until the image is ready. This is normal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're running the launcher from a [binary](run-binary.md) or [source](dev.md) Bubble distribution, |
|
|
|
you can check the status of the packer jobs by running |
|
|
|
```shell script |
|
|
|
pack_status |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're running the launcher from using the [Bubble Docker Launcher](docker-launcher.md), |
|
|
|
you can observe output of the packer image being built in your Bubble logs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More details on packer and the `pack_status` command are available in |
|
|
|
the [Bubble packer documentation](packer.md). |
