[15:48] <boxrick> Hello! I have a simple question. Will cloud init provide me with a mechanism to configure a network within an LXD container before it comes online?
[16:52] <rharper> boxrick: yes;  lxd already supports this; lemme find some docs
[16:55] <rharper> boxrick: https://askubuntu.com/questions/617865/is-there-a-way-to-configure-lxd-containers-with-cloud-config-at-provision-time ;  in there the "lxc config set CONTAINER user.network-config - < CONTAINER.network-config.yaml"  is what you want
[16:55] <rharper> the v1 config format is here: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/network-config-format-v1.html#network-config-v1
[16:56] <boxrick> Cheers for that, I was having some problems. But its an image problem as opposed to a cloud init problem. But that will definately help along the way.
[23:03] <blackboxsw> heh
[23:04] <blackboxsw> usage: cloud-init [-h] [--version] [--file FILES] [--debug] [--force]
[23:04] <blackboxsw>                   {init,modules,query,single,dhclient-hook} ...
[23:04] <blackboxsw> cloud-init: error: unrecognized arguments: --force
[23:04] <blackboxsw> it seems our help doesn't match up w/ allowed args in all cases
[23:21] <blackboxsw> ahh --force needs to be before the subcommand
