[12:12] <minimal> Hi. For the network device hotplug stuff added recently any plans for init.d scripts in addition to the systemd scripts already there? Starting to look at how to enable this for a non-systemd OS
[16:01] <falcojr> minimal: no, at this time there are no plans for adding non-systemd scripts
[16:03] <minimal> falcojr: ok. I'm working on equivalent init.d scripts for Alpine currently. I've rewritten hook-hotplug locally so that it does not depend on Bash. As I'm not familiar with Systemd's handling of FIFOs I'm trying to work out what the init.d equivalent of cloud-init-hotplugd.socket would be
[16:08] <falcojr> I'll be no help with it comes to init.d, but contributions are always welcome
[16:12] <minimal> yet I'll contribute whatever I come up with, for now as I don't quite understand what the systemd setup is doing its hard to write an init.d equivalent
[16:12] <minimal> s/yet/yeah/
[19:20] <rharper> minimal: w.r.t the fifo socket, you can use mkfifo ; I may have had an initial implementation with mkfifo before using systemd's FIFO,  the goal is to provide a writable FIFO for the ACPI called hotplug hook script so it can stash uevent parameters (nic details) in a FIFO;  the daemon blocks on reading from the fifo and should work whether systemd or mkfifo created the file 
[19:25] <minimal> rharper: yeah wasn't too sure if "mknod p" is needed in addition to mkfifo
[19:29] <minimal> so write init.d script "cloud-init-create-fifo" to do mknod/mkfifo and have existing "cloud-init" script (or "cloud-final"?) define a "need cloud-init-create-fifo"
[19:53] <rharper> minimal: the cloud-hotplugd runs as a service, and it 1) creates the fifo at /run/cloud-init/hotplug (or something like that)  2) spawns the daemon service which will open and block reading from the fifo ;   so you'll need an init script to do (1) and (2) in the right order  potentially you could combine (1) and (2) like the systemd unit does; 
[19:59] <minimal> rharper: yeah don't see the point of 2 init.d scripts, will do it in single one. I'll try and find some time in the next week to try it out
