[00:31] <meena> cjp256: any chance i could get access to one of these for my project: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/hpc/enable-infiniband ?
[08:12] <zaphod_b> hiya lads; I am trying to use cloud-init on a bare-metal Dell server using the ubuntu cloud image and Dell's Redfish API to expose a nocloud config
[08:13] <zaphod_b> My first attempts are a little disconcerting; I am new to cloud-init I should add
[08:14] <zaphod_b> I was kind of assuming that mounting a 'cidata' ISO image in the drac environment would suffice for cloud-init to find my config, but it does not seem to
[08:14] <zaphod_b> so I guess my first question is, is this scheme supposed to work at all ?
[08:29] <aciba> Hello zaphod_b: that should work, assuming Nocloud is detected as datasource. One can see that in the file: /run/cloud-init/result.json
[08:30] <aciba> documentation about Nocloud: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/datasources/nocloud.html
[08:31] <aciba> a good source of information is: /var/log/cloud-init.log
[08:35] <zaphod_b> aciba: thank you; it's already a great help to know that it's feasible !
[08:35] <zaphod_b> My next issue then would be to gain access to the OS so that I can inspect these locations; since my config is not found I don't know how to enter the OS at all
[08:38] <zaphod_b> ok sorry, I found my way through an alternate console... thanks !
[08:40] <waldi> and was what the cause?
[08:45] <aciba> zaphod_d: a useful command to collect debugging informat: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/bugs.html#collect-logs
[08:46] <aciba> if you could minimally share the log (redacting any sensible information) we could try to see what's going on
[08:49] <zaphod_b> aciba: so actually a lot more than I thought was working ! cloud-init did find my input !
[08:50] <zaphod_b> I guess I've been confused because (*) I could see for a long time a message at boot-time saying "connecting.... waiting for cloud-init..."
[08:51] <zaphod_b> and also because the ubuntu boot went on and asked for a language; but I guess this is something that I can now configure
[08:52] <zaphod_b> so I guess I'll just do my homework and come back here if anything goes south
[08:53] <aciba> that sounds great! maybe the locale module can help there: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/modules.html#locale
[08:53] <aciba> please tell us if you find any problem/difficulty
[08:55] <zaphod_b> just one last question maybe: I was interested in provisioning fedora also with a similar approach; is there any publicly available fedora image that comes with cloud-init ?
[08:55] <zaphod_b> it looks like fedora has their own ignition thing...
[09:01] <zaphod_b> in any case aciba: thanks for your help !
[14:32] <holmanb> zaphod_b: nice nick :)
[14:35] <holmanb> zaphod_b: fedora has cloud images with cloud-init, but not autoinstall support
[15:24] <cjp256> meena: will see what i can do, anything in particular that you need to see?
[15:38] <meena> cjp256: I need a few hours with freebsd on a machine with infiniband, because programming from hearsay isn't working out so great
[19:54] <blackboxsw> community notice: upstream release 23.1 published https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/releases/tag/23.1. Thanks aciba for driving the release this round
[19:56] <blackboxsw> upload of 23.1 accepted and published to Ubuntu 23.04:  cloud-init 23.1-0ubuntu1 (Accepted)  expect it available in tomorrow's cloud-images.
[19:56] <blackboxsw> Our plan is start  StableReleaseUpdate of 23.1 to Ubuntu Bionic. Focal, Jammy and Kinetic over the next week.
[19:58] <blackboxsw> thank you all for the contributions to various clouds and improved distribution support this release!
[20:33] <meena> anyone know if lxd --vm will run a current (or soon to be released) FreeBSD? 
[20:33] <meena> (CURRENT is the development branch… it's a bit confusing)
[20:35] <falcojr> meena: if there are no published images for it, there are ways of importing your own images. IIRC, people can gotten windows running through LXD
[20:35]  * meena snap installs lxd
[20:35] <meena> This laptop has 64 GiB of RAM, so I better make good use of that
[20:39] <meena> i don't see any published ones: https://us.lxd.images.canonical.com/ so I'll just grab a current image and resize it and use that
[21:30] <meena> falcojr: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269767
[21:30] -ubottu:#cloud-init- bugs.freebsd.org bug 269767 in Base System "13.1-RELEASE VM IMAGE panics on boot under LXC / LXD" [Affects Only Me, New]
[21:31] <falcojr> interesting
[21:37] <meena> i'm hoping to test 14.0-CURRENT or STABLE…
[21:38] <meena> But, alas, someone broke the release / mirror: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269764
[21:38] -ubottu:#cloud-init- bugs.freebsd.org bug 269764 in Services "14.0-CURRENT CI-IMAGES yield 404" [Affects Only Me, New]
[21:39] <meena> (and, while I could use the not-CI-IMAGES images, they are awful)
