Hi, Has anyone had any success with cloud-init and templates with ovirt 3.4? So far, it seems to be able to configure things like networks etc. But when it goes to do with passwords, it must be set again in the "run once" or in the "Initial Run" even if "Use already configured password" is set.

Another thing, why is it only setup to change the root password? By default cloud-init will block root, so nearly all images need to be modified ie. sed -i 's/disable_root: 1/disable_root: 0\nchpasswd: { expire: False }/g' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg

Otherwise, you'll login and it'll ask you to change your password. Defeats the purpose of setting it through cloud-init? I'm also not being able to just set an SSH key, it insists a password otherwise the key won't get uploaded.

Finally, templates seem to be lacking validation. Where "Initial Run" and "Run Once" will give the red box if you have the wrong syntax while templates don't care.

Thanks, Andrew _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

It seems the key won't save unless a password is specified.

Initial Run/Run Once will..
