| beantaxi | catred: Thank you for your response. Perhaps I was using 'user data' too loosely ... I was referring to anything you would use in the creation of a VM, at creation time, including MIME-encoded data, eg created with `cloud-init devel make-mime` etc. | 01:39 |
|---|---|---|
| beantaxi | minimal: Thank you for your OVH- and IONOS-specific details. In the case of IONOS, I don't see any way of setting user data other than their DCD tool, which doesn't look like a tool I'd enjoy using. In the case of OVH, it would just mean doing some homework, but looks possible. | 01:46 |
| minimal | beantaxi: the IONOS document I linked to shows how to use their API via curl to set user-data | 13:17 |
| beantaxi | minimal: Thank you, and sorry I missed mentioning that before. I did see that, but was deterred by the big long curl, and their mentioning that it only is valid on Volume creation -- which, from reading their API documents, is not true, it's actually on Server creation, hence the /servers path ... or maybe I'm just misunderstanding them. | 15:56 |
| beantaxi | minimal: I'm still interested in how to use cloud-init to 1. add a per-boot script to a running instance, such that it executes on reboot, and 2. remove that script, or ideally flag it for removal after one execution. If that isn't supported in the cloud-init CLI, I'd be interested in how to make it happen with scp etc | 16:01 |
| minimal | you have the script itself disable itself at the end of its (first) run? | 16:29 |
| Davidian1024 | hey group, i've been unsuccessful at finding out how to do this via the docs so far. so i'm giving in and asking here. | 17:07 |
| Davidian1024 | i'm trying to get cloud-init to add the i386 architecture to an ubuntu instance on first boot | 17:08 |
| Davidian1024 | basically, the cloud-init equivalent of this command: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 | 17:09 |
| beantaxi | Davidian1024: This might be a very silly question, but can you put it in runcmd: in a cloud config? | 18:12 |
| Davidian1024 | i was imagining there would be some apt or dpkg options that did this. but, yeah, using runcmd to run a little script is looking like my only option. | 18:15 |
| beantaxi | Davidian1024: I just grepped the source and checked the docs ... the only references I see to dpkg are related to grub. E.g. https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/modules.html#grub-dpkg. I don't know if that's helpful or not. | 18:21 |
| minimal | beantaxi: cc_apt_configure handles .deb related repo configuration | 19:22 |
| beantaxi | Davidian1024: To quote minimal above, cc_apt_configure handles .deb related repo configuration | 21:48 |
