| msbrown | Hey, have an oddball situation. I've taken a server installed via maas (d-i install), and moved it off of maas to be a stand-alone server. What's the best way to disable the cloud-init boot sequence? | 15:52 |
|---|---|---|
| smoser | msbrown, you can probably | 16:14 |
| smoser | dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init | 16:14 |
| smoser | and just seleect the None datasource | 16:14 |
| msbrown | thx | 16:14 |
| smoser | if that doesn't work, then i'd just put some data in /var/lib/cloud/nocloud/seed | 16:15 |
| smoser | so that it would think it found *that* datasource all the time. | 16:15 |
| msbrown | I'll try the first method | 16:15 |
| msbrown | well, that makes the boot faster, you get some ugly messaging but as long as you know to ignore it.... | 16:17 |
| msbrown | (whatever you do, *don't* just delete all the cloud* entries from /etc/init :-) | 16:21 |
| SpamapS | smoser: question | 16:41 |
| SpamapS | smoser: oh and HI | 16:41 |
| SpamapS | smoser: so, cloud-config sets the hostname right? | 16:41 |
| SpamapS | smoser: I'm considering that we need to delay runlevel 2 until after cloud-config finishes | 16:41 |
| SpamapS | smoser: thoughts on that? | 16:42 |
| SpamapS | smoser: we're having problems where things don't always get the same hostname on reboot because they start faster the second time for whatever reason.. just before cc_set_hostname runs | 16:42 |
| smoser | ubuntu ? | 16:57 |
| smoser | SpamapS, ? | 16:58 |
| SpamapS | smoser: yeah | 17:00 |
| SpamapS | smoser: this is with baremetal hardware, but using EC2 metadata.. so.. yeah.. we're on crack a bit. :) | 17:02 |
| smoser | cloud_init_modules should set hostname per default config | 17:03 |
| smoser | which should execute | 17:03 |
| smoser | start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/ and stopped cloud-init-nonet | 17:03 |
| smoser | which almost certainly should block the starting of runlevel 2 | 17:04 |
| SpamapS | smoser: so cloud-config doesn't run the cc_* modules? | 17:06 |
| smoser | see cloud.cfg, SpamapS | 17:11 |
| smoser | they run at different stages per that config | 17:11 |
| SpamapS | smoser: AH | 17:11 |
| SpamapS | misunderstanding resolved | 17:11 |
| SpamapS | smoser: ok.. so hm.. why are we seeing our hostname different on two successive boots.. argh | 17:12 |
| SpamapS | first boot we get no .novalocal | 17:12 |
| SpamapS | or we do, then second we don't get it.. I can't remember now | 17:12 |
| smoser | SpamapS, based on very little info, i guess its related to | 17:13 |
| smoser | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/cloudinit/sources/__init__.py#L169 | 17:14 |
| SpamapS | smoser: we do have local-hostname | 17:18 |
| SpamapS | smoser: but good thinking :) | 17:19 |

| harlowja | SpamapS who are u, lol | 19:01 |
| harlowja | no cloudinit for u | 19:01 |
| harlowja | lol | 19:01 |
| SpamapS | harlowja: i can haz hostname plzzzzz | 20:09 |
| harlowja | SpamapS ha | 20:45 |
| harlowja | SpamapS let me know if u figured it out, can help if u don't | 20:47 |
| SpamapS | harlowja: I don't think our problem is cloud-init | 20:48 |
| SpamapS | something else subtle going on | 20:48 |
| harlowja | k | 20:48 |
| harlowja | stop doing those bad things then | 20:49 |
| harlowja | lol | 20:49 |
| SpamapS | am I the only one that thinks lol looks like a ghost raising its arms and chasing somebody from right to left? | 20:49 |
| SpamapS | lol==---... | 20:49 |
| harlowja | :) | 20:49 |
| harlowja | run away! | 20:49 |
| SpamapS | ..---===/o/ | 20:50 |
| harlowja | ha | 20:50 |
| SpamapS | well now it looks like bennie hill | 20:50 |
| harlowja | SpamapS do u know if anyone from HP is going to http://www.meetup.com/openstack/events/172017412/ ? | 20:50 |
| SpamapS | just need doors and gratuitous un-garmenting | 20:50 |
| harlowja | "OpenStack at Mega-scale" (whatever that means) | 20:50 |
| SpamapS | harlowja: I hope so | 20:51 |
| harlowja | ya, i'm not sure i want to go yet, lol | 20:51 |
| SpamapS | harlowja: but most of our actual dev/ops who would be able to contribute are in "not bay area" | 20:51 |
| harlowja | megascale sounds to much like marketing blah blah | 20:51 |
| SpamapS | gigascale would be better | 20:51 |
| SpamapS | terascale | 20:51 |
| SpamapS | Have a competing meetup next door. "OpenStack at petascale" | 20:52 |
| harlowja | :) | 20:52 |
| harlowja | +2 | 20:52 |
| harlowja | mine bigger than yours meetup | 20:52 |
| harlowja | *maybe shouldn't call it that* | 20:52 |
| SpamapS | might attract the wrong crowd | 20:53 |
| harlowja | :) | 20:53 |
| SpamapS | lol===---... | 20:53 |
| harlowja | ha | 20:53 |
| harlowja | ..---===/o/ | 20:53 |
| harlowja | ha | 20:53 |
| SpamapS | o/` [ kazoo music ] o/` | 20:54 |
| harlowja | ^ did the ghost just pass threw a kazoo? | 20:55 |
| harlowja | cause ghosts can do that afik | 20:55 |
| harlowja | *afaik | 20:55 |
| lipinski | How do I get a VMs instance id via cloud init? e.g., the one that is in openstack meta-data.json? | 21:33 |
| harlowja | cat /var/lib/cloud/data/instance-id | 21:39 |
| harlowja | *thats one way | 21:39 |
| lipinski | harlowja: that's not the instance ID I need. I think that's the EC2 one? I need the one that is available via Openstack metadata | 21:45 |
| lipinski | e.g., curl 169.254.169.254/openstack/latest/meta_data.json (uuid) | 21:45 |
| harlowja | ah, which cloud-init are u using | 21:45 |
| lipinski | My problem is that using the 169.254.169.254 ties me to the network-based metadata service. I would like to use Cloud-init so that I am abstracted from metadata via network vs cloud-drive | 21:46 |
| lipinski | one sec | 21:46 |
| harlowja | yup, the newest cloud-init has that abstraction | 21:46 |
| lipinski | 0.7.2-2.el6.noarch | 21:46 |
| harlowja | ya, that one only knows how to fetch from the EC2 metadata/userdata from 169 | 21:46 |
| harlowja | which is why u see the ec2 id | 21:47 |
| lipinski | Is there a newer Cloud-Init that would give me what I need? | 21:47 |
| lipinski | (hopefully in a RHEL6 RPM form.. :) ) | 21:47 |
| harlowja | ya, 0.7.5 would have what u need, although u'll need to build your own rpm afaik | 21:48 |
| harlowja | which isn't that hard to do since the cloud-init code has that | 21:48 |
| harlowja | i don't think rhel has published that version yet | 21:48 |
| lipinski | harlowja: thanks a bunch. So, the UUID/VMID that I'm looking for would then be accessible via /var/lib/cloud/data/instance-id ? Or somewhere else? | 21:49 |
| harlowja | that'd be the place | 21:49 |
| lipinski | fantastic. thanks again. | 21:54 |
| lipinski | harlowja: sorry to bother again. 0.7.4-2 have what I need, or do I need 0.7.5? | 21:58 |
| harlowja | i think 0.7.5 | 22:05 |
| harlowja | which was just released afaik | 22:05 |
| harlowja | the other option is u can just add a script into user-data that fetches that information lipinski (basically running `curl 169.254.169.254/openstack/latest/meta_data.json`) | 22:09 |
| lipinski | harlowja: thanks. Yes - I may do that as a stop-gap measure until we can get to 0.75. | 22:11 |
| harlowja | right | 22:11 |
| harlowja | shouldn't be to bad, could even do something simple in python to get it | 22:11 |
| harlowja | although u should be able to checkout cloud-init and run 'make rpm' and a rpm should pop out | 22:12 |
| lipinski | I didn't want to get into the "business" of interfacing with metadata services. Prefer Cloud-Init do the lifting for me and that way I get cloud-drive+metadata support without any change on my side :) | 22:12 |
| harlowja | yup | 22:12 |
| lipinski | I've never downloaded cloud-init before (since we get RPMs). | 22:13 |
| lipinski | Thanks again. | 22:13 |
| harlowja | np | 22:14 |
