[12:44] <blahdeblah> Hi. If I want to use cloud-init in VMs on a standalone host, is there an easy way to create the metadata server to provide them with the correct userdata?
[12:56] <akik> blahdeblah: you can use any httpd to serve the files and use ds=nocloud-net
[21:28] <_ix> Good afternoon folks. I'm having some extended issues with 0.7.9 and 17.1 on CentOS 7.4 in OpenStack deployments.
[21:31] <_ix> 0.7.9 exhibited a bug with puppet, but if I'm reading this correctly, that was resolved in 17.1
[21:31] <_ix> https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1699282
[21:35] <_ix> As suggested, we found a recent build of 17.1 from copr, but it's exhibiting other issues like not dropping the ssh keys to cloud-user or abiding by the additional configuration files we're passing into instantiation.
[22:34] <_ix> Any idea why I'd be getting `<cloudinit.simpletable.SimpleTable object at 0x1e01ed0>` in my network device table output.
[23:29] <blkadder> Hi all, having an issue with write_files. File is created fine, permissions are set fine, but owner is not and remains root. Doing chown manually on the file to the proper user and group (postgres) works fine. Looked through the logs and nothing popped out. Any suggestions where to look?
[23:40] <blkadder> Ooh, I am guessing write_files happens before package install where postgres user is created.
