@fohdeesha Yes i can confirm user error. I was uncommenting #network in the network side and it was causing issues with my whole config. I read this in another post on the forum. Thank you for your assistance. I really appreciate the time you provided.

@olivierlambert Ah i see. It shows up. Much appreciated!

@fohdeesha I see. The networking you see above is just set in studio code just to have it all in one photo. I am able to get the networking to work fine. the 0/24 is just a place holder and does get changed to a IP.

I tried adding a SSH key to access the VM after creation and I can't seem to log in with the default ubuntu user. It does accept my key but is asking for a password after I accept the fingerprint for the server. I don't have a password set for the key so I tried making a new user and that didn't seem to work either.

I must be messing something up and I'm not sure what it is.

So I entered the data in the custom fields. The Vm seemed to not take them. Could the way I configure the custom fields be wrong for user data and networking?

I add my ssh key but i dont provide in this screen shot. Also with the hostname set as {name}%, will it pull the name set in the template of XOA?

I'm not seeing what features are provided with the standard edition. I can see free to premium and was wondering was is good for a home lab? I would like backups that include delta. What is a good support plan?

@olivierlambert Ah i see. It shows up. Much appreciated!

@olivierlambert I have not registered it as of now i will register it if needed.

@olivierlambert
This is what I see in the templates.

Re: Ubuntu 18.04 Cloud-Init Networking Problem

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Currently I learning cloud init and am having issues creating a cloud init template to apply the hostname and network config for each VM I would like to deploy. I looked at the above issue as it has been closest to what I am experiencing but cant get anything to work.

I followed the author of the link provided below and his template seems to work when it comes to providing the VM name in the template to the other VM's I create.

If you anyone is able to provide any assistance it would be much appreciated and I would be really grateful. Also If logs are needed please let me know how to find them and I would be glad to provide them.
