Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2020 17:06:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e84dcdd6-250a-4f0b-c1b8-162b61b20dcf@altinea.fr> (raw)
Hello,
First, sorry, I'm taking the thread from the archive, don't have much
history.
To the question :
"Any reason why snippets [0] are not enough for custom userdata?"
Yes, there's one : in the generated, there's a few vm-specific options,
like "fqdn:" and "hostname:" parameters. Having them auto-generated in
PVE is really nice and remove the need to have a snippet file per VM.
With snippets, one can only REPLACE generated user-data. So, the fqdn
and hostname parameters are completely gone which leads to the need of
one snippet file per VM.
Having the ability to EXTEND the generated user-data is really needed.
So we can add only vm-agnostic parameters like sshkeys, packages and so
on ...
On another approach, I wrote a (really) small patch adding the
vendor-data custom file [1] but I'm not a developer and submitting a
proper usable patch is out of my capacity.
vendor-data never supersede user-data [2] so no other change should be
required.
cloud-init support in Proxmox is almost complete, please consider
integrating one of the 2 solutions inside your code base so we could
full automate VM deployment using the API and 'plug' the VM into a
config management system like puppet, ansible, chef, whatever.
Thanks a lot !
