@bvitnik Let's say you don't have the metadata backed up... Is there a way to boot from a rescue disk and save the metadata?

@acebmxer Did you do: cloud-init clean --logs --seed before converting the VM to template? Also, network configuration is not part of the cloud-config (aka user data). In XO, there is a separate field called "Network config" where it should be specified. See examples at the end of the guide I pasted earlier. network: key should also be removed (commented in the examples).

@Pilow alright, cool! that sounds pretty much like a standard solution, too much options or details usually just confuses the end users
