| boolman | hey, cloud-init runs to early for me. is there any way to delay it? | 13:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Odd_Bloke | boolman: Could you expand on the problem you're trying to solve? | 14:37 |
| boolman | Odd_Bloke: yeah sure, I have no issues at all running cloud-init for example on openstack vms. however, Im trying to get it to work on vmware, and I believe vmware is really slow to set the network configuration. so cloud-init is already done before it gets network access | 14:42 |
| boolman | so this is installed on my vm template: https://github.com/vmware/cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo which allows me to send userdata and metadata to the vm during deploy ( terraform in my case ) | 14:43 |
| Odd_Bloke | boolman: OK, that's useful information. What specifically is failing? (cloud-init _could_ happily use the guestinfo without networking, I think, so I'm guessing that there's userdata or somesuch that is breaking?) | 14:46 |
| boolman | I've disable networking through cloud-init, network: { config: disabled } | 14:47 |
| boolman | what is failing is basically everything that requires network, so apt_update, packages: [], bootcomd: [ ping -c 1 8.8.8.8 ] | 14:48 |
| Odd_Bloke | OK, and what distro/version is this, and how did you install cloud-init? | 14:51 |
| boolman | ubuntu bionic, apt-get install cloud-init | 14:52 |
| Odd_Bloke | Most Ubuntu cloud images already have cloud-init installed; how are you creating your image? | 14:53 |
| boolman | this was built from an cd iso | 14:53 |
| boolman | dont think I can run cloud images on vmware | 14:54 |
| Odd_Bloke | http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/release/ has a variety of images (including a VMDK and an OVA), so you might want to consider using those (if changing the image source is an option). | 14:55 |
| Odd_Bloke | How is networking being configured if not by cloud-init? | 14:55 |
| boolman | https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/vsphere/r/virtual_machine.html#cloning-and-customization-example | 15:07 |
| boolman | the network_interface {} block | 15:07 |
| Odd_Bloke | boolman: Hm, OK, I'm not familiar with that. Does that actually generate network configuration inside the guest, or is it just configuring the devices that will be presented to the guest? | 15:13 |
| boolman | yes it works, just not during the cloud-init's lifetime | 15:13 |
| Odd_Bloke | Do you know how it writes out its network configuration? Ubuntu's boot has systemd-networkd-wait-online.service, which waits for networking before proceeding, and the network-dependent parts of cloud-init run after that. | 15:17 |
| Odd_Bloke | So I would expect it to work regardless, but perhaps the network is configured after that point? | 15:17 |
| Odd_Bloke | boolman: Do you have files in /etc/netplan/... ? | 15:17 |
| blackboxsw | rharper: minor doc suggestions on https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/uss-tableflip/pull/31 I put up https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/uss-tableflip/pull/32 as well | 17:18 |
| rharper | thanks | 17:18 |
| boolman | my vm boots and network is fine. | 20:29 |
| wyoung | Nice work | 20:29 |
| blackboxsw | ahosmanMSFT: sorry, I'm finally poking at Azure CI tests now not seeing the timeout error so far. will give it a few runs and see if I can see it. | 23:14 |
| ahosmanMSFT | blackboxsw: Thanks, when issue was running multiple tests at once the issue occurs due to self._img_instance having different values in images.py on azurecloud platform. Also ssh time out issues due to wait_for_cloud_init function. | 23:15 |
| blackboxsw | ahosmanMSFT: you mean at once (in parallel) or serially running through the whole test suite? | 23:16 |
| blackboxsw | I'm guessing serially running the whole suite right | 23:17 |
| ahosmanMSFT | yes | 23:17 |
| blackboxsw | ok thx. will give it a couple runs | 23:17 |
| ahosmanMSFT | Those issues occur at the same time, I was able to debug and find them seperately | 23:18 |
| ahosmanMSFT | but the ssh one only effects time out | 23:18 |
| ahosmanMSFT | the other issue (self._img_instance not updating) effects image building, so no snapshots | 23:19 |
