cedric-brinerHi, I’m having hard time to understand cloud-init. I’m actually trying to make it work on vmware with a debian system with no luck. I’m trying to read information from the client (debian) of what is hold on vsphere>vm>config>guestinfo.[userdata,metadata]. I thought that this communication happens through the open-vm-tools layers ?? How can I10:59
cedric-brinertest it on a live machine (outside the whole process of booting) ?10:59
cedric-brinerAny idea ?11:33
cedric-brinerany idea ?13:03
anankecedric-briner: you can find what was passed on in userdata under /var/lib/cloud/instance/user-data.txt13:28
Zathrustrying to use cloud-init to set a static IP on provisioning; it works on RHEL 9, but not on Ubuntu 22. Are there any differences we should be aware of in the config?19:55
minimalZathrus: those distros use different network configuration backends AFAIK20:07
minimalhave you checks the cloud-init logs?20:07
minimals/checks/checked/20:08
minimalhave you checked the resultant network configuration (netplan) file?20:09
Zathrusminimal: looked, but no errors20:09
Zathrusminimal: there is none, thus why we're quite sure it's not getting configured20:09
minimalI wasn't specifically referring to errors - check the file to see what network configuration is being done20:09
Zathrusthere's numerous places it talks about configuring networks, but no filenames/paths, and the IP doesn't appear in the log20:11
minimalyou haven't provided much information for anyone to help, no details of cloud-init versions, no info regarding DataSource being used, etc. Open an issue on cloud-init and attach logs and related info to that...20:11
