| _NiC | I'm trying to configure a network interface on VM creation with cloud-init, and I get it to work with e.g. Network Config Format v1, specifying the interface and IP and all that. But what if I don't know what the interface name is, and the MAC address is randomly generated? Can I somehow make cloud-init use the first non-lo interface found? | 14:49 |
|---|---|---|
| minimal | _NIC: afaik cloud-init will use the first non-lo interface (lo as usual is treated as a special case) | 15:31 |
| minimal | without seeing your network-config and some details of what the cloud-init logfile may show it is hard to comment on any issue you are having | 15:31 |
| _NiC | Yeah I'm probably missing something. My brain is about to boil now though, I'll continue this tomorrow.. | 15:46 |
| _NiC | Just thought I'd ask in case it was something common and obvious that I missed. | 15:46 |
| minimal | _NIC: also have you tried network config v2? Personally I prefer it | 15:47 |
| _NiC | I have yeah, and it seems to also work, even though I can't find any trace of netplan anywhere, which is surprising. | 15:47 |
| minimal | _NIC: v4 config is not netplan specific, I use it with /etc/network/interfaces | 15:48 |
| minimal | obviously depends on the distro you are using | 15:49 |
| _NiC | debian (11) host and guest | 15:50 |
