[13:53] <ubuntuarm-user> Hi, I'd like to modify the ubuntu base rootfs tarball so that it contains the openssh server. What is the easiest way to do this?
[13:54] <rbasak> Doing that is dangerous. You'll end up with cloned private host keys which is a security problem.
[13:54] <rbasak> So you have to work around all of that, which is error-prone.
[13:54] <rbasak> Better to use official images that include cloud-init.
[13:55] <ubuntuarm-user> i see
[13:56] <ubuntuarm-user> I didn't know that something like cloudinit exists. I'll have a look. thanks
