Hi,

What do you think about adding cloud-init for ARM JeOS images?

If it is not public cloud: nothing. We tried that in the past, the side effects of cloud-init, if it runs but you do not provide a config for every listed module, are really bad. For MicroOS we are using ignition for that reason now.

I have never heard about ignition before. But it seems to have the similar purpose as cloud-init.

You also have jeos-firstboot or YaST2-firstboot. YaST2-firstboot is pre-installed, just add an empty /var/lib/YaST2/reconfig_system file and reboot to have start it. If you prefer jeos-firstboot, uninstall YaST2-firstboot first, install jeos-fisrtboot and also add an empty /var/lib/YaST2/reconfig_system file and reboot to have start it. If you are over ssh only, install jeos-firstboot, and: * update the script to avoid to loose Ethernet connection: sed -i 's/ip link set down \"\$d\" #/if [ \"eth0\" != \"\$d\" ]; then ip link set down \"\$d\"; fi; #/' /usr/lib/jeos-firstboot * start it manually: /usr/lib/jeos-firstboot And follow the configuration steps. Cheers, Guillaume

Currently, configuration way after deploying brand-new JeOS image is always similar to the following: login with root:linux requisites by serial console and do `ip addr` (or directyl ssh if it is possible to guess DHCP address), then create users, deploy ssh keys, disable ssh root login, etc.

I think cloud-init could be helpful here to configure users and networking. Initial configuration can be deployed to the board by network using kernel command line options.
