[12:05] <jtv> roaksoax, smoser: hi there...  do you happen to know a good example, by any chance, of how to make an authenticated http (GET) request to the metadata server from the commissioning script?  I know we have the python code in there, but are the credentials in a format that we can easily put to use in wget?
[13:16] <smoser> jtv, well,  i dont know how easy or difficult wget and oauth would be.
[13:16] <smoser> is this as a one time thing  or are you looking for general solution?
[13:18] <smoser> from an ephemeral instance, cloud-init's MAAS datasource can be run from the command line.
[13:33] <jtv> smoser: I'm looking to have the commissioning script make one authenticated GET request to the metadata service.  No general solution needed, really.
[13:34] <smoser> i think the MAAS datasource can possibly do what you want
[13:35] <smoser> jtv,
[13:36] <smoser> python /usr/share/pyshared/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceMAAS.py
[13:36] <smoser> the argument to '--config' is a file in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/*cmdl*
[13:36] <smoser> and inside that file is the url you need also
[13:37] <jtv> smoser: I guess that's in the cloud-init source tree?
[13:38] <smoser> if you're booted into an ephemeral image, its ther for you.
[13:38] <jtv> And I guess I just wrap it in some python to invoke it?
[13:39] <smoser> i dont know why wrap in python
[13:39] <jtv> Well it's not an executable, is it?
[13:40] <jtv> Or is it?  There's no hashbang...
[13:40] <smoser> oh. just run it with python
[13:41] <smoser> it has a main
[13:41] <jtv> I see.  Sounds perfect!
[14:18] <smoser> jtv, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429760/
[14:18] <smoser> I've been wanting to write that for a while, so there it is.
[14:19] <smoser> maybe i'll send it to maas-devel
[14:32] <jtv> smoser: thanks.  I hope I'll be able to look into it tomorrow.  (Unwell at the moment, so we'll have to see how it develops)
[14:35] <smoser> jtv, but if you're looking for a way to make 'GET' requests in the ephemeral image, then the thing we want to get to is having a client in there that can easily do that (ie, add 'GET' support to maas-signal).
[14:37] <jtv> smoser: I guess you mean extracting some shared functionality.  That probably makes sense.  Wouldn't necessarily be something you'd still want to call maas-signal though.
[15:55] <freed0> anyone here deployed larger 20+ MAAS systems locally and not in the 'cloud'?
[17:37] <rbasak> Aram: hey, any joy with the DHCP/IP issue?
[17:37] <rbasak> Aram: I've just been reminded of bug 1064291, which might be relevant to the design of the go-juju maas provider
