@olivierlambert Thanks, just stumbled over this a few minutes ago and tried it, but doesn't work. According to https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-cloud-config-scripting#write-files-to-the-disk

This currently only works for RHEL-based distributions.

But this led me to write_files and this works:

write_files:
  - path: /etc/resolv.conf
    content: |
      domain exmple.com
      search example.com
      nameserver 192.168.20.1

this is the full configuration I use:

#cloud-config
hostname: {name}
timezone: Europe/Vienna
users:
  - default
  - name: johndow
    passwd: ****
    sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
    groups: users, admin, sudo
    shell: /bin/bash
    lock_passwd: true
    ssh_authorized_keys:
      - ssh-ed25519 AAAA****
write_files:
  - path: /etc/resolv.conf
    content: |
      domain example.com
      search example.com
      nameserver 192.168.20.1
package_update: true
packages:
  - sudo
  - htop
  - vim
  - python
  - tmux
package_upgrade: true
runcmd:
  - sudo reboot

the Network configuration looks like this:

  version: 2
  ethernets:
    eth0:
      match:
        name: eth0
      addresses:
        - 192.168.20.6/28
      gateway4: 192.168.20.1
    eth1:
      match:
        name: eth1
      addresses:
        - 10.10.10.6/24

but now it seems I forgot the MTU but this is a different story, thanks for the hint in the right direction.

@olivierlambert weird, I tried the restart, because I'm doing that a lot now since I have some backup issues.
Need to move my old (very old) datacenter to the new XCP-NG Server and after that I can get to upgrading XO.

I might be running into this issue, not sure however, will upgrade my xen Orchestra soon to confirm
https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/5896

but for now I would just like to know how I can cancel these tasks. I have two of them running, cancel and Disabled buttons are not active.

Here's what I did. I added a new Physical machine, so far I have only moved some VM to that machine from the first one.
Now for the first time I created a new Machine with the Debian 11 cloud template, and the tasks that are stuck [XO] Importing content into VDI XO CloudConfigDrive (on x1.example.com) 0% show x1 which is my first physical machine. I have no idea why it would be running there.

@olivierlambert sure ... how?
I couldn't find out how to do that. Looking into that option right now but if you have some hints I would appreciate it.

@olivierlambert it's not that simple I guess. Because I can't install anything without having DNS during the cloud-init
Everything works fine if I use DHCP but this would result in eth0 being my internal network and default GW being via the internal router and eth1 having my public IP.
I want it the other way round

The second solution would be to use DHCP to get everything installed then nuke the whole cloud-init stuff and configure network manually. Bit of a pain I guess.
How are other people dealing with this whole clod-init on debian?

I've read this post and also been trying my own research but I just can't get it to work.

https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/6777/cloud-init-network-config-not-applying-to-debian-11-6?_=1692953942818

This is my network cloud init configuration

network:
  version: 1
  config:
    - type: physical
      name: eth0
      subnets:
         - type: static
           address: 192.0.2.6/28
           gateway: 192.0.2.1
    - type: nameserver
      interface: eth0
      address:
        - 9.9.9.9
        - 1.1.1.1
      search:
        - example.com
    - type: physical
      name: eth1
      subnets:
         - type: static
           address: 10.10.10.6/24

The result is this file data in /etc/network/interfaces.d/50-cloud-init

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
    dns-nameservers 9.9.9.9 1.1.1.1
    dns-search example.com

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.0.2.6/28
    gateway 192.0.2.1

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 10.10.10.6/24

how do I get the network in such a way that DNS also works? If I add my nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf everything works.
I'm also a bit confused as why I have eth0 as dhcp on in /etc/network/interfaces but nothing regarding eth1

This cloud-init stuff is driving me bananas!

@florent perfect! Thank you.
I want a clean start since the Backup Server had some issues and ran out of space so I just want to start fresh.

I want to start fresh with my backups.
I have removed all backup jobs from XOA, all backups through the Health tab. Only Backup left is the Metadata.
However on the Backup NFS Server I still have 350GB worth of files under the xo-vm-backups directory.
Can I safely delete them? Or what's the best way to safely remove all backups and start from Scratch?
