mgarciap: can you clarify how you fixed this? it seems like uploading a modified stemcell would require overriding the url it is getting the original from

jblancett commented 10 years ago

the hardcoded url for DEFAULT_LIGHT_STEMCELL_URL can be overridden with environment variable BOSH_OVERRIDE_LIGHT_STEMCELL_URL

jblancett commented 10 years ago

after downloading latest-light-bosh-stemcell-aws.tgz, replacing all instances of bosh-stemcell with bosh-aws-xen-ubuntu, uploading to a new location and overriding the stemcell url, I still have the same problem. There is no cf-aws.yml in the stemcell though so I may be doing something wrong.

@jblancett I just had a look at the unpacked latest-light-bosh-stemcell-aws.tgz file

~/dev/cf/bosh/stemcells/aws/latest-light-bosh-stemcell-aws 
03:35 PM $ ll

What I did is modifying the following file changing the name property and it worked such as I posted in the vcap-dev group

03:37 PM $ cat stemcell.MF

@mgarciap thanks! changing only the first occurence of bosh-stemcell did the trick

dajulia3 commented 10 years ago

@mgarciap, @jblancett Is this issue resolved? I'm doing some issue house-keeping and would love to close this if the problem is solved :)

mgarciap commented 10 years ago

@dajulia3 I tried it out around a month ago and it still wasn't fixed.

dajulia3 commented 10 years ago

@mgarciap, alright thanks for the info, I'll try to follow up with the appropriate people.

dajulia3 commented 10 years ago

@mgarciap I looked into it, and we have decided that we are no longer supporting or maintaining cf bootstrap aws. We will be moving the repo into the cloudfoundry-attic.

Sorry no one got back to you on this sooner!

mgarciap commented 10 years ago

What will you suggest in exchange? Is this still the way official doc tells you to do it? http://docs.cloudfoundry.com/docs/running/deploying-cf/ec2/index.html

cloudfoundry-attic / bootstrap-cf-plugin
