Oracle 8.10 cloud.init template creation
-
I want to build
cloud.inittemplate for Oracle-8.10. Is there anyway to do this via Packer or XO? -
@irtaza9 Hi !
Two options:
- Create the VM by hands with XO and the ISO, install the package required for cloud init, shutdown the VMs and convert to template
- Or do it via packer: you have an example here for Debian: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2024/02/22/using-packer-with-xcp-ng/
You can add the necessary package with the Ansible module

@AtaxyaNetwork I'm new to Oracle Linux, do you have any minimal guide for the packages and configs for it? I am going with the first one for now. Created Oracle VM via ISO and configured network, storage(lvm), user and root user password. Now I'm inside my VM.

@irtaza9 I never used Oracle Linux, but for Debian, here is the list of the package needed to have a working cloud init:
unattended-upgrades, dpkg, cloud-init, cloud-guest-utils, cloud-initramfs-growroot, cloud-image-utils, cloud-utilsshould be almost the same, I think
-
@irtaza9 I have the main characteristics of such a temple:
Minimal install is the basis
root fs: ext4 and minimum 10G disk
IP: DHCP
ssh login: cloud-user
login, ssh public key only.If you are interested I can make it available for download.
