Debian + Cloud-Init
Hi All,
In the past i've used the community supplied scripts over at
https://github.com/shankerbalan/cloudstack-scripts for doing injection of
password / ssh keys.
I'm trying to move to cloud-init to handle this for me however I am having
some issues.
I modified my /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file to use CloudStack as a datasource:
datasource_list: ['CloudStack']
datasource:
CloudStack: {}
I also set the following:
disable_root: False
user: root
ssh_pwauth: True
ssh_deletekeys: True
ssh_genkeytypes: ['rsa', 'dsa']
ssh_svcname: ssh
On booting up the machine I see the script run successfully and pull the
metadata down from the VR. The hostname is also set and new ssh keys are
generated.
On attempting to login as root with the password provided on the Cloudstack
UI I am unsuccessful. I'm unsure why.
Anybody got an idea where I'm going wrong?
Thanks,
Ian

Correct. We share similar launch/user-data scripts for AWS and CloudStack so we use the cloud-init standard public-keys metadata type for enabling VM access and therefore have no need for the CS password service.

Hi Carlos,
I'm using 0.7.3-2 from the Debian Wheezy backports repo.
I didn't have any issues acquiring metadata as long as I used
isc-dhcp-client as the dhcp client (Had issues when using pump).
I believe even with your patch the password on the root account will not be
set.

Hi Ian,
What version of cloud-init are you using? The default one that comes with ubuntu 12.04 has a bug that causes is not to work on Cloudstack (uses gateway instead of dhcp server as metadata server).
I did something similar to convert the cloud images from ubuntu into a XenServer image and have a patch for DataSourceCloudStack in cloud-init here: https://github.com/creategui/CloudStackImageScripts/blob/master/DataSourceCloudStack.patch
cheers,
-Carlos

Lucian,
You were spot on. It is not supported. I've done similar to your work
around by giving a init.d script.
I've upload a automated system using packer for generating a OVA of a
debian x64 template to github
https://github.com/imduffy15/cloudstack-templates
I included a built version of the template for xenserver to save somebody
time in the future.
https://github.com/imduffy15/cloudstack-templates/releases
If people are interested I might build this out to generate KVM, Xen,
HyperV and vSphere images and add CentOS and Ubuntu.

Thanks Lucian!
I'm currently digging through the cloud-init documentation. I'll let you
know if I find another way.

Yes, the Cloudstack root password feature is (to my knowledge) totally unsupported by cloud-init.
So only ssh keys and user data works.
To work around it, I usually throw the cloudstack-set-root-password script in /var/lib/cloud/scripts/per-boot so cloud-init will execute it every time the VM boots.
