Hi dinhngtu

I think i have found the problem. The end of the ssh key has 'bastion production' at the end of the key and i believe this is the wrong format for cloud init, all of the other parts of the configuration file work as xen orchestra indicated that the guest utils are installed. It a bit of a pain to regenerate the keys because i have a lot of devices i connect too.

Hi

I have follows the instructions from https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/9943/after-days-of-research-and-tinkering-a-working-guide-for-debian-12-template-with-cloud-init-and-dhcp and i cloned a Debian 12 VM and attached the cloud image and created a template. When i add my ed25519 ssh keys from the template and boot the new VM i am refused to login via ssh.
