| minimal | dmick_: not sure what you mean by "PXE installs", cloud-init is intended to be already present (and configured to run) in the OS you are booting | 00:27 |
|---|---|---|
| dmick_ | I'm autoinstalling Ubuntu with PXE, and providing both autoinstall/subiquity config and cloud-init config in a user-data file | 00:51 |
| dmick_ | yes, cloud-init is in the installation image, and interprets the non-autoinstall data in the user-data file | 00:52 |
| minimal | dmick_: sounds like you're using Ubuntu's Subiquity | 00:52 |
| dmick_ | https://canonical-subiquity.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/explanation/cloudinit-autoinstall-interaction.html#cloudinit-autoinstall-interaction | 00:52 |
| minimal | which is generally supported in the Ubuntu channels | 00:52 |
| dmick_ | yes, that's why I said "autoinstall/subiquity" | 00:52 |
| dmick_ | but this question is about cloud-init | 00:52 |
| minimal | subiquity uses/"misuses" cloud-init | 00:53 |
| dmick_ | yes, it does | 00:53 |
| minimal | and so generally speaking its a subiquity question (even though it involved cloud-init) | 00:54 |
| minimal | for example you asked "Do I need to supply it as a different datasource for the reboot" - with cloud-init you don't change DataSource, it is detected on 1st boot | 00:55 |
| dmick_ | yeah, it's detected by cloud-init on first boot in this scenario too. but then there's a second boot after installation is completed. Maybe that wrinkle, the fact that there are two different boot 'contexts', is unique to subiquity. I'm not super-familiar with all the ways cloud-init can run. | 00:58 |
| dmick_ | I can try finding a subiquity group and see where I get. Thanks for the suggestion. | 00:59 |
| minimal | dmick_: my point is what when subiquity is involved then cloud-init is "made to act" in a non-normal fashion | 00:59 |
| minimal | try the ubuntu-server channel, that's likely to be the one with subiquity people present | 01:00 |
| dmick_ | ok | 01:00 |
| dmick_ | here on libera? | 01:00 |
| minimal | yes, #ubuntu-server (and perhaps #ubuntu-cloud as well) | 01:00 |
| dmick_ | thanks | 01:01 |
