Data transfer occurs through a virtual serial port of the +`CloudSigma`_'s VM and the presence of network adapter is **NOT** a +requirement, See `server context`_ in the public documentation for more +information. + + +Setting a hostname +------------------ +By default the name of the server will be applied as a hostname on the first +boot. + + +Providing user-data +------------------- + +You can provide user-data to the VM using the dedicated `meta field`_ in the +`server context`_ ``cloudinit-user-data``. By default *cloud-config* format is +expected there and the ``#cloud-config`` header could be omitted. However +since this is a raw-text field you could provide any of the valid `config +formats`_. + +You have the option to encode your user-data using Base64. In order to do that +you have to add the ``cloudinit-user-data`` field to the ``base64_fields``. +The latter is a comma-separated field with all the meta fields whit base64 +encoded values. + +If your user-data does not need an internet connection you can create a `meta +field`_ in the `server context`_ ``cloudinit-dsmode`` and set "local" as +value. If this field does not exist the default value is "net". + + +.. _CloudSigma: http://cloudsigma.com/ +.. _server context: http://cloudsigma-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/server_context.html +.. _meta field: http://cloudsigma-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/meta.html +.. _config formats: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/format.html +.. vi: textwidth=78 |
