A vagrant project for testing cloud-init scripts

vagrant-cloud-init

Vagrant project for testing cloud-init scripts.

How to Use

1. Edit the meta-data.yaml and user-data.yaml files located in <project-directory>/cloud-init/nocloud-net/.

   • Note that the vagrant provisioner copies the above files to /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/ without the .yaml extension.

2. Start the box, login and check the configuration.

   $ vagrant up
   $ vagrant ssh
   <box> $ # check configuration

3. Once you're finished, you can destroy the box with

   $ vagrant destroy

If you want to test changes without restarting the box, follow these steps:

1. Edit the meta-data and user-data files located on the box in /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/.

2. Remove particular files that identify the current cloud-init instance configuration (which stop cloud-init from re-running).

   <box> $ sudo rm -fr /var/lib/cloud/sem/* /var/lib/cloud/instance /var/lib/cloud/instances/*

3. Force cloud-init to run again.

   <box> $ sudo cloud-init init
   <box> $ sudo cloud-init modules

Notes

Modules

As this project is using vagrant, it relies on the nocloud module. There are two variations of this module; one that does not provide network access and one that does; this project uses the latter by default.

1. No network access: /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud/
2. Network access enabled: /var/lib/cloud/seed/nocloud-net/
