How would you like your Cloudstack templates?
Hello,
Since templates are being discussed, I wanted to chip in and let you know I am about to revamp the templates at OpenVM.eu which I have neglected a bit.
The roadmap is short and should look something like this:
- we build everything from scratch (as opposed to trying to reuse and modify upstream images - I'm doing this for ubu/deb now) - except coreos which is weird and provide compatible images anyway
- all the kickstarts and preseeds will be on github, everyone is welcome to chip in with improvements or build their own
- separate per hypervisor type template builds, xenserver builds will ship xs-tools, vmware builds will ship openvm-tools, kvm will ship qemu-ga, hyperv will include their tools
The hw is sponsored, I am not paying for it. I'm happy to allow responsible PMC members access to it.
Also happy to host systemvm templates at OpenVM as a "neutral third party".
Now a few questions to which I'd really like some feedback.
1. Cloud-init is rather stubborn in using a default unprivileged user instead of root.
Should I use per distro users - ubuntu for ubuntu, centos for centos, freebsd for freebsd - or should I use something like "cloud" or "admin" for all of them?
2. I currently disable IPv6 in the templates I build from scratch as it is a pain point with Cloudstack at the moment - alas. Should I just leave the defaults on (ie enabled)?
Thanks!

I say keep IPv6 enabled on the defaults of Linux. As Basic Networking will have IPv6 support starting with 4.10 :-)
