Also i tried to auto extend drive, but this is only thing which not works. Packages update run without issue.

# nope
resize_rootfs: true
growpart:
  mode: auto
  devices: ['/, /dev/xvda']
  ignore_growroot_disabled: false

# ok
package_update: true
package_upgrade: true

@Tristis-Oris do you have same issues from HUB templates ?

if not, something like a plugin is missing in your cloudconfig configuration
in CLOUDBASE init on windows, we have to specify some plugins to allow auto extend of disk, never tried a manual linux template creation, as HUB ones are enough for our usage and ready to deploy.

[Tristis Oris]

Ok, my syntax is oudated.

resize_rootfs: true
growpart:
  mode: auto
  devices: ['/dev/xvda3']
  ignore_growroot_disabled: false

runcmd:
  - pvresize /dev/xvda3
  - lvextend -r -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv || true

this one works.
