According to the cloud init documentation it should be possible to run user scripts, however, I am unable to make this work.
The documentation says
User scripts are not specified in the scripts directory in the datasource, but rather are present in the scripts dir in the instance configuration
So I've added the following:
write_files: - path: /var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts/test.sh content: | #! /bin/sh touch /tmp/hi.txt echo "cool stuff!" > /tmp/derpatron.txt
in order to see if it actually fires. But after flashing the sdcard, I can see that the file has been written correctly:
$ ls /var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts/ runcmd test.sh
but it hasn't been fired, since I don't have any data in tmp that corresponds to my files:
$ ls /tmp
What I noticed was that the 'instance' directory was named pirate001, but my user is set to client:
pirate001
client

Don't know how to help. It's not really a flash error, maybe how cloud-init is symlinked into the image-builder-rpi repo or how that old version of cloud-init works.
Closing for now.
