[09:40] <rsvp> so I installed cloud-init via synaptic... there's no man page... so is there a good intro to its functions??
[10:37] <flaccid> rsvp: on the wiki
[14:48] <smoser`> rsvp, you dont' twant to install it on a non "clodu" machine (ie, outside of uec or ec2)
[14:48] <smoser`> you should uninstall before you reboot
[18:12] <rsvp> smoser, thanks for the clarification re: "download cloud-init only on machines in the cloud (not your desktop)" -- perhaps it could be more explicit on the wiki page and in the apt description -- since otherwise an user could get the impression that it helps generate/merge/prettify/test the config file.
[18:25] <rsvp> smoser, another feature that could be made more explicit: "alternatively place a URL pointing to the config file, instead of the config file." -- I'm not sure what exactly are the conditions on that URL and whether that method could circumvent the file size limitation. That would be a nice feature since machines on the cloud could then consistently initialize from a large file in a version controlled repository.
[18:36] <rsvp> smoser, could you kindly clarify the URL_as_config for cloud-init ?? and thanks so much for your effort and work!
[19:52] <Evet> 2 servers are enough to build a private cloud?
