| xenol | hi, I am trying to setup cloud-init and I would like to setup root password, which is provided by SmartOS datasource as root_pw metadata. However, I do see anything in the source that sets up the root password | 19:11 |
|---|---|---|
| xenol | is there a way how to achieve this? | 19:12 |

| tennis | smoser: Trying to set an id other than ubuntu to be the system default. I notice that cloud-init creates a file called /etc/sudoers.d/90-cloud-init-users. Can cloud-init generate this file with my alternative user id in it, or do I have to manually zap it like what is described here: http://alestic.com/2014/01/ec2-change-username | 20:26 |
| xenol | can cloud-init set root password? | 21:08 |
| smoser | if you just define it in the users, it might not know any better. | 21:25 |
| smoser | tennis, you just provide the user you want in user-data | 21:25 |
| smoser | yeah, as that blog post says. | 21:25 |
| smoser | xenol, similar answer. | 21:26 |
| smoser | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/doc/examples/cloud-config-user-groups.txt | 21:26 |
| smoser | you might be able to do: | 21:26 |
| smoser | users: | 21:26 |
| smoser | - default | 21:26 |
| smoser | - name: root | 21:26 |
| smoser | passwd: foo | 21:26 |
| xenol | smoser: I have password available by the metadata service and I would like to get it from there if possible | 21:27 |
| smoser | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/view/head:/doc/examples/cloud-config.txt#L565 | 21:27 |
| smoser | so cloud-init probably can't direclyt do it like that. | 21:27 |
| smoser | i'm not *opposed* to a feature ot pull it from the openstack metadata service | 21:27 |
| smoser | but really thats a regression | 21:27 |
| smoser | use ssh public keys | 21:27 |
| xenol | so, I have a default cloud.cfg, which is slightly modified to suit my needs. If I want to add users, shoudl I move cloud.cfg contents with "users" block into metadata service? | 21:37 |
| smoser | you mean to user-data | 21:39 |
| xenol | I have defined datasource_list in my cloud.cfg. I suppose that should stay there and the rest moved to user-data? | 21:40 |
| smoser | yeah,, generally thats more dynamic. although user can override what is in cloud.cfg through user-data | 21:42 |
| tennis | smoser: Thanks! Yeah, I have tiny script (like the blog post) which I run just before a reboot. | 21:43 |
| tennis | tennis: testing | 21:45 |
| xenol | smoser: the passwd needs to be a hash, right? | 22:31 |
| kwadronaut | xenol: i agree with smoser, use ssh public keys, generate passwords. | 22:42 |
| xenol | I am generating them creating virtual machines (I'm not giving the user the ability to input his password). I just to this because not every user has a SSH key and expects password | 22:45 |
| xenol | This way I am able to offer both solutions | 22:45 |
| tennis | smoser: re the usermod to change the default user. How can that work for the default id if it is being called by the (current) default? | 23:07 |
