@robertbreker The CloudInit doc said that meta_data.json is mandatory
, see https://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/datasources.html?highlight=openstack#version-2

Well, it seems that CoreOS uses it's own cloudinit
implementation. It explains the differences and why it doesn't work for other OS.
Thanks Olivier - I think your diagnosis is spot on; The current function call is tailor-cut to CoreOS. We should be looking at expanding it.
@robertbreker : we did it ourselves (a generic cloud config drive support), see https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/cloudinit-support-for-xenserver/
Under the hood, we are using import_raw_vdi
to push it to a small config drive, thus avoiding any plugin installation on XS.
How to put content to the config drive with `import_raw_vdi'? @olivierlambert
Check in the Xen Orchestra source code :) It's very likely to be in xo-server
repo.
Hi,
Seems using the plugin to interact with
cloudinit
enabled templates is not working (tested in Ubuntu and Debian).The disk is detected, but then it complains about
openstack/latest/meta_data.json
missing. By creating the file with the following stuff inside, it works:I'm no expert in
cloundinit
/OpenStack cloud drive config, so I can't tell if it's really standard to use this file. All I can say, it's not created by the XS plugin, thus it can't work.
