[01:06] rsvp, regarding "not desktop" that is bug 635188 . i hope to get that fixed in 11.04. [01:06] Launchpad bug 635188 in cloud-init "installing cloud-init on a non-ec2/UEC server results in a 20 minute boot wait" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/635188 [01:06] regarding "URL_as_config" where did you see that ? [01:31] smoser, here's the URL_as_config reference: "Note, the maximum total size that can be passed to user-data is 16K. If you are above that limit, you can gzip the data or you can move the items to files accessable through a URL and pass the URLs to user-data." http://www.rndguy.ca/2010/11/20/using-cloudinit-to-automate-linux-ec2-setup/ [01:32] ah. ok. [01:32] rsvp, so if you do do something like: [01:33] so does the URL_as_config "feature (if it really exists -- no time so far this weekend to confirm)" work at the Amazon AWS web console input box ?? [01:33] printf "%s\n%s\n" "#include" "http://your.site.here/some-url.cloud-config" > my.config [01:33] ec2-run-instances --user-data-file my.config [01:33] then cloud-init will read the "#include" and pull the data from the url just as if it had been inline. [01:34] rsvp, it should work there, yes. i've not actually tested, but putting the same there should be same as on config line. [01:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit explains #include some. [01:37] yes, that makes sense... maybe if the web input box only contains one URL line, cloud-init could do that my.config thing implicitly in the background. [01:40] it could also at least allow for a single line: #include http://... [01:41] yes, that would be super convenient! [01:41] if you want to open a bug on that, i'd look into it more. see if i could fit it in backwards compatibly. [01:44] ok cool [08:27] what are the minimum specs of a vm i can create? === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
