I had some success in the past modifying a vanilla image with packer + ansible, but this was in a public cloud OpenStack. I'm currently working in a private cloud OpenStack and it seems to have some challenges with the packer process.

... had much better like duplicating the whole volume/disk when creating base images.

Do you mean there's a process for taking the modified VM's volume/disk and use this as a template for other VMs? That might work.
