[01:42] <ubot3> Package freeipa-server does not exist in groovy
[03:58] <DeeJayTwo> tds: yes from crontab
[06:28] <SuperLag> Can you guys think of a reason why networking would be working on a cloned VM? I'm trying to use Terraform to clone an Ubuntu Server VM on vSphere. And it's failing on the customization phase, and when I log in to the VM, there's no networking. There's an interface, but no IP assigned, and it doesn't seem to be responsive when I run "dhclient ens160"
[06:28] <SuperLag> would NOT be working, that is
[12:50] <tomreyn> SuperLag: sounds like a vmware/vsphere question to me.
[16:37] <SuperLag> tomreyn: well, one of the other questions I have is if there's something I'm doing (or not doing!) that might be breaking things, in terms of prepping this install to be a VM template
[16:38] <SuperLag> I don't know if there's a set of best practices for creating something that's going to be regularly cloned
[22:11] <tomreyn> SuperLag: "golden image" is the term you're looking for. whatever you'll use will need to replace machine id and apply different 'unique' hardware IDs, such as MAC address(es)
[22:26] <SuperLag> tomreyn: is there an Ubuntu equivalent to Window's sysprep that does all that magic?
[22:29] <tomreyn> i'm not sure, nothing standardized AFAIK
[22:31] <tomreyn> it's also a lot less complex and error than windows sysprep, though
[22:32] <tomreyn> the default approach is to just carry out an unattended installation, though, or to use cloud images
