Cust0sLimenhi13:14
Cust0sLimenI want to use rhel-guest-image-7.0-20140930.0.x86_64.qcow2 on libvirt directly13:14
Cust0sLimenso I found some info regarding cloudinit http://blog.oddbit.com/2015/03/10/booting-cloud-images-with-libvirt/13:15
Cust0sLimenit says you create a iso with some files in and then put it in vm cdrom13:15
Cust0sLimenwhat I want to now though is - is there some other way to do this except for ios ?13:15
Cust0sLimenwhat I want to now though is - is there some other way to do this except for iso ?13:15
Cust0sLimencan't I run some webserver or something ?13:15
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: well, there are many datasources - the question is what is available at a usual qemu/libvirt level13:16
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources.html13:16
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: the link you posted creats a config drive13:17
Cust0sLimenyeah13:17
Cust0sLimenso I basically want same but not a iso but rather like webserver or something13:17
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: in general there are e.g. http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/openstack.html13:19
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: also aws and google sources are network based13:19
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: yet - be aware13:19
Cust0sLimenhmm ok13:19
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: these cause all sort of issues (slow boot by probing all), potential security risks of people insering configs, ...13:19
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: therefore most of these have extra checks to only access them if in the right env13:20
Cust0sLimenbut then I have to have openstack metadata service running ?13:20
cpaelzerWell you could also mimic it, but I'd expect more guards to those network services to appear which makes it even harder to use13:20
cpaelzerI can't find the right link at the moment, but we are working on guarding that more13:22
Cust0sLimenok let me rather just do ios13:23
Cust0sLimeniso*13:23
Cust0sLimenconfig disk13:23
Cust0sLimenso where is the allowed values/schema for the meta-data and user-data files on config disk ?13:48
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: only see your question now15:44
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: you mean on-disk like the config-disk as iso?15:44
cpaelzerCust0sLimen: or if you modify the target image?15:44
Cust0sLimencpaelzer, no on config-disk ISO15:44
cpaelzerMost is really reachable from http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources.html15:44
cpaelzerlet me check15:44
Cust0sLimenbut actually nvm, the right way to do it is virt-customize I think15:44
Cust0sLimenI'm using that now15:45
cpaelzerok15:45
cpaelzersmoser: if you read abcklog is there anything you might add?15:45
Cust0sLimenit can set root password and add keys which is fine15:45
cpaelzerI happen to miss the wider scope sometimes but smoser has it15:45
