| Sulky_ | Hello, I have troubles with chpasswd. It works with the field "list" but nothing happens with a field "users" | 18:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Sulky_ | Also "chpasswd" appears to only work when it's a child of "autoinstall > user-data", but is ignored when placed on the top level : just below #cloud-config | 19:00 |
| holmanb | Sulky_: autoinstall isn't a cloud-init yaml key, sounds like you're using the Ubuntu subiquity autoinstaller. | 19:01 |
| holmanb | Share your config? | 19:02 |
| Sulky_ | holmanb, you are correct : I'm using it to automate an Ubuntu installation | 19:04 |
| Sulky_ | Yes, I will send to you a light version of the file I'm using | 19:05 |
| holmanb | For that, this irc channel probably isn't the best support channel, see https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/faq.html#autoinstall-preruncmd-postruncmd | 19:08 |
| holmanb | That said it's possible that this is a cloud-init bug, so I'll still take a peak if you share it | 19:11 |
| Sulky_ | holmanb, here it is : https://pastebin.com/ZqGfGUSp | 19:16 |
| minimal | Sulky_: which cloud-init version are you using? | 19:19 |
| minimal | also can you show the "users" version of the user-data that isn't working? | 19:20 |
| Sulky_ | $ cloud-init --version /usr/bin/cloud-init 22.2-0ubuntu~22.04.3 | 19:21 |
| Sulky_ | minimal, for the file I have sent : the top level "chpasswd" is simply ignored. The commented "chpasswd" bloc into "autoinstall > user-data" works when uncommented | 19:23 |
| minimal | Sulky_: cloud-init 22.2 does not support "users" for chpasswd, only "expire" and "list" | 19:24 |
| Sulky_ | minimal, the "users" field is not tested in this file (it's commented) : but doesn't work in either cases | 19:24 |
| minimal | on the cloud-init docs' page, at the bottom left be sure to click on "latest" and select 22.2 to see the docs for that version | 19:24 |
| minimal | oh, I didn't look at the "autoinstall" block. Anyway, as said "users" is not support for chpasswd for cloud-init 22.2 | 19:25 |
| holmanb | Also I think the pipe character is used for multiline strings in yaml, not lists | 19:26 |
| Sulky_ | minimal, Oh really ? I thought it was supported since I was getting a DEPRECATED warning for "list" field in favor of "users" in the logs | 19:27 |
| holmanb | Ah, nvm multiline strings are supported | 19:28 |
| minimal | Sulky_: i'm look at this: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/22.2/topics/modules.html#set-passwords | 19:30 |
| minimal | that is the 22.2 docs, no mention of "users" | 19:30 |
| Sulky_ | minimal, you are correct | 19:31 |
| Sulky_ | minimal, it makes sense that it doesn't work then | 19:31 |
| minimal | so change "list: |\n root:test" to "list:\n - user:test" | 19:31 |
| minimal | as holmanb indicated the "multiline string" format of "list:" is deprecated as indicated in the docs | 19:33 |
| Sulky_ | minimal, Ok great, I will :) | 19:33 |
| Sulky_ | Do you know why this bloc (with "list") will not work at a top level field (juste below #cloud-config) but will work into "autoinstall > user-data" ? | 19:33 |
| holmanb | Sulky_: I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of that, but iirc the top level gets passed to cloud-init at a different stage from subiquity's autoinstall subkey userdata. | 19:37 |
| minimal | don't know but as holmanb indicated you are not using "native" cloud-init, you're using Ubuntu Subquity (which is where the "autoinstall" reference is coming from) | 19:38 |
| Sulky_ | Ok, if I understand correctly, although autoinstall and cloud-init input files look close they are not identical | 19:41 |
| Sulky_ | Thank you a lot for your help :) | 19:41 |
| Sulky_ | I will try to figure this out on the dedicated irc channel | 19:42 |
| minimal | holmanb: things busy at Canonical currently? | 19:45 |
| holmanb | minimal: A few unplanned side quests have come up recently | 19:46 |
| minimal | ah ok, it seemed quiet on here the past week and was hoping for some input to my recent PR | 19:47 |
| holmanb | Ah, right that one. I think James mentioned trying to take a look, but then things came up and he's been out the last couple of days. | 19:48 |
| holmanb | I'll try to prioritize getting eyes on it | 19:50 |
| minimal | thanks, just hoping to get it sorted in time for 23.1 | 19:53 |
| minimal | working on ena-related stuff currently | 19:54 |
| minimal | oops, eni | 19:54 |
| holmanb | +1 sounds good | 19:57 |
