    • RE: XO debian 10 cloud ready VM template (cloud-init)

      Is there anyone who is able to answer my questions?

      • You are referring me to outdated, unusable and even misleading dock
        [as far I can see Xen changed cloud-init datasource from "OpenStack Config Drive" to "NoCloud" at lease as a main one:
        https://xen-orchestra.com/forum/topic/1315/cloud-init-from-templates-do-not-read-local-datasource

      • XEN documentation is unavailable [404]:
        https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/cloudinit.html

      • I hope the network issues were resolved:
        https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/2256/cloudinit-network-config-is-being-saved-in-the-config-drive-but-its-not-being-applied/4

      • To hear this kind of comment on the official forum is just pure gold:
        "but most of what's require to do is available on Google"

      You gents need a proper manual/documentation because as of now it's just a slipshod work.
      All of this is just so disappointing ...

      @olivierlambert

      1. First of all Thanks for the link to the Xen Documentation it is helpful.
      2. ".. You aren't alone in the world"
        From what I see is that you have replied to me for the first time the same day I have posted my question. Although your answered just one question regarding cloud image - nothing about creating it from scratch. Even though I continued asking about it it took you another 6 days to reply. Then when you provided me with the link to the Debian bug I found that you knew about that issue being involved in discussions about it for almost a year now.
        To summarise
      • you knew I will be struggling - because of the Debian bug
      • you never provided me with the data sources even though I asked about it explicitly
      • after that you directed me to Debian 8 manual which is irrelevant to Debian 10 (even though you knew there is a bug in Debian 10)
      • and as a cherry on the top you've told me to "google it".
      • you have provided me with the link to the Debian bug 9 days after my initial question only when I raised my concern and disappointment.

      From my point of view you were deliberately not answering my questions which just proves that you never wanted to help quite the contrary ... and this IS truly disappointing my friend!

    • XO debian 10 cloud ready VM template (cloud-init)

      Gents,

      1. where can I find a debian 10 cloud ready template for XO
      2. is there a manual for creating it from scratch?

      I am trying to build customs VMs with XO but it fails to pass any config data to the new VM (created from template) probably because of configuration mistakes when preparing VM for template.

      Thanks for help

      PS. I found this but it needs to be updated for debian 10 and newer version on XO and links do not work anymore:

      @fohdeesha : may I ask you to provide me with the answers to my questions (see above) / prequisits regarding preparing Debian 10 VM for template for cloud-init please?

      Gents [ @olivierlambert @fohdeesha], let me reply to both of you and finish this unfortunate (part of) the discussion.
      It took this drastic downturn and I am not enjoying it at all [!] as both you as well.

      Your active engaged in community forum is admirable and I mean it! (especially because of your position, Olivier).
      I was directed to XO project because of very favorable opinions about the support and robust community.

      That being said - please do not hold it against me though that I am disappointed that I received answers which were not helpful.
      You do not have to have malicious intent to do so and that is - unfortunately - my experience.
      I can see though how my post might be read this way - I could phrase it better - my bad! I am sorry - that inappropriate.

      To end up this negative chain - I respect you guys and it was not my intention to make it such a sour experience for everyone.
      If I may propose one thing though - If you reply to the post with X number of questions try to reply to all of them.
      Even if that would be just one sentence that would put requestor on the right path. That would be very appreciated.

      Going back to the cloud-init itself.
      Explanation that it caused a lot o issues in the past very well explains my experience with it and feel that I got from XO and cloud-init implementation of it.

      1. is default config for NoCloud "should" make VM responsive to it or there are some additional steps I should go through?
        (I will be going back to testing with CentOS before trying Deb 10 just to be sure I am working on something that I may expect to work)
      2. do you support or plan to support Ignition or another project that would do the trick of on-the-fly config for cloud purposes?
      3. (if you do) is there any documentation for it?

      Thanks for help and have a good one, Gents!
