1 year ago There is no built-in cloud-init mechanism in VirtualBox. And as I see nothing similar hasn't been implemented in this provider.
user_data parameter runs the following command:
VBoxManage setextradata RESOURCE_VM user_data YOUR_USER_DATA (doc)
This command attaches a tag user_data to the created box but this tag is not supposed to be accessible from inside the instance.
See this not resolved bug as well #89

Hello, I am trying to launch a script through user_data if I remember correctly, I could do it in the same way, but maybe I have something wrong in the syntax.
user_data.sh
!/bin/bash
apk add htop
