2020-10-30Correct documentation and testcase data for some user-data YAML (#618)dermotbradley
For cc_users_groups the user setting "expiredate" must be quoted in order for the relevant flag and value to be then passed to the useradd command. It its vaiue is not quoted then it is treated as Python type datetime.date and in `cloudinit/distros/__init__.py` the below "is it a string" condition fails and so no "--expiredate" parameter is passed to useradd and therefore it has no effect: ``` if key in useradd_opts and val and isinstance(val, str): useradd_cmd.extend([useradd_opts[key], val]) ``` For cc_users_groups, the user setting "inactive" does not actually disable accounts, the useradd "--inactive" option actually defines the number of days after password expiry that users can still login. So I have changed the docs to show it taking a quoted value of days (which works with the current code) rather than a boolean value. The quotes are necessary, like expiredate above, so that the value is also passed to the useradd command. For cc_power_state_change.py the "delay" setting value needs to have quotes around it as otherwise its leading plus sign will be stripped off.

2020-10-19bddeb: new --packaging-branch argument to pull packaging from branch (#576)Paride Legovini
bddeb builds a .deb package using the template packaging files in packages/debian/. The new --packaging-branch flag allows to specify a git branch where to pull the packaging (i.e. the debian/ directory) from. This is useful to build a .deb package from master with the very same packaging which is used for the uploads.

2020-08-17cli: add devel make-mime subcommand (#518)Ryan Harper
* cli: add devel make-mime subcommand Cloud-init documents an in-source-tree tool, make-mime.py used to help users create multi-part mime user-data. This tool is not shipped in the cloud-init install and unavailable at runtime. This patch takes tools/make-mime.py and makes the functionality available via the devel subcommand. The primary interface of --attach file:content-type is still present. The cli now adds: -l, --list-types Print out a list of supported content-types -f, --force Ignore errors for unsupported content-types The tool will now raise a RunTime error if the supplied content-type is not supported (or more likely a typo: x-shell-script vs. x-shellscript) * make-mime: write to stderr and exit 1 instead of raising RuntimeError * Update example to match docs * Update docs for make-mime subcommand * Remove tools/make-mime.py; replaced by cloud-init devel make-mime Co-authored-by: Rick Harding <rharding@mitechie.com>

2020-07-21VMware: Support parsing DEFAULT-RUN-POST-CUST-SCRIPT (#441)xiaofengw-vmware
Add support for VMware's vCD configuration setting DEFAULT-RUN-POST-CUST-SCRIPT. When set True, it will default vms to run post customization scripts if the VM has not been configured in VMTools with "enable-custom-scripts" set False. Add datasource documentation with a bit more context about this interaction on VMware products. With this fix, the behavior will be: * If VM administrator doesn't want others to execute a script on this VM, VMtools can set "enable-custom-scripts" to false from the utility "vmware-toolbox-cmd". * If VM administrator doesn't set value to "enable-custom-scripts", then by default this script is disabled for security purpose. * For VMware's vCD product , the preference is to enable the script if "enable-custom-scripts" is not set. vCD will generate a configuration file with "DEFAULT-RUN-POST-CUST-SCRIPT" set to true. This flag works for both VMware customization engine and cloud-init.
2020-07-15ssh exit with non-zero status on disabled user (#472)Eduardo Otubo
It is confusing for scripts, where a disabled user has been specified, that ssh exits with a zero status by default without indication anything failed. I think exitting with a non-zero status would make more clear in scripts and automated setups where things failed, thus making noticing the issue and debugging easier.

2020-05-13Add schema to apt configure config (#357)lucasmoura
Create a schema object for the `apt_configure` module and validate this schema in the `handle` function of the module. There are some considerations regarding this PR: * The `primary` and `security` keys have the exact same properties. I tried to eliminate this redundancy by moving their properties to a common place and then just referencing it for both security and primary. Similar to what is documented here: https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/structuring.html under the `Reuse` paragraph. However, this approach does not work, because the `#` pointer goes to the beginning of the file, which is a python module instead of a json file, not allowing the pointer to find the correct definition. What I did was to create a separate dict for the mirror config and reuse it for primary and security, but maybe there are better approaches to do that. * There was no documentation for the config `debconf_selections`. I tried to infer what it supposed to do by looking at the code and the `debconf-set-selections` manpage, but my description may not be accurate or complete. * Add a _parse_description function to schema.py to render multi-line preformatted content instead of squashing all whitespace LP: #1858884

2020-03-18ec2: render network on all NICs and add secondary IPs as static (#114)Chad Smith
Add support for rendering secondary static IPv4/IPv6 addresses on any NIC attached to the machine. In order to see secondary IP addresses in Ec2 IMDS network config, cloud-init now reads metadata version 2018-09-24. Metadata services which do not support the Ec2 API version will not get secondary IP addresses configured. In order to discover secondary IP address config, cloud-init now relies on metadata API Parse local-ipv4s, ipv6s, subnet-ipv4-cidr-block and subnet-ipv6-cidr-block metadata keys to determine additional IPs and appropriate subnet prefix to set for a nic. Also add the datasource config option apply_full_imds_netork_config which defaults to true to allow cloud-init to automatically configure secondary IP addresses. Setting this option to false will tell cloud-init to avoid setting up secondary IP addresses. Also in this branch: - Shift Ec2 datasource to emit network config v2 instead of v1. LP: #1866930
2020-03-12doc: CloudInit also support NetBSD (#250)Gonéri Le Bouder

2020-03-12Add Netbsd support (#62)Gonéri Le Bouder
Add support for the NetBSD Operating System. Features in this branch: * Add BSD distro parent class from which NetBSD and FreeBSD can specialize * Add *bsd util functions to cloudinit.net and cloudinit.net.bsd_utils * subclass cloudinit.distro.freebsd.Distro from bsd.Distro * Add new cloudinit.distro.netbsd and cloudinit.net.renderer for netbsd * Add lru_cached util.is_NetBSD functions * Add NetBSD detection for ConfigDrive and NoCloud datasources This branch has been tested with: - NoCloud and OpenStack (with and without config-drive) - NetBSD 8.1. and 9.0 - FreeBSD 11.2 and 12.1 - Python 3.7 only, because of the dependency oncrypt.METHOD_BLOWFISH. This version is available in NetBSD 7, 8 and 9 anyway
2020-03-10instance-data: add cloud-init merged_cfg and sys_info keys to json (#214)Chad Smith
Cloud-config userdata provided as jinja templates are now distro, platform and merged cloud config aware. The cloud-init query command will also surface this config data. Now users can selectively render portions of cloud-config based on: * distro name, version, release * python version * merged cloud config values * machine platform * kernel To support template handling of this config, add new top-level keys to /run/cloud-init/instance-data.json. The new 'merged_cfg' key represents merged cloud config from /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg and /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/*. The new 'sys_info' key which captures distro and platform info from cloudinit.util.system_info. Cloud config userdata templates can render conditional content based on these additional environmental checks such as the following simple example: ``` ## template: jinja #cloud-config runcmd: {% if distro == 'opensuse' %} - sh /custom-setup-sles {% elif distro == 'centos' %} - sh /custom-setup-centos {% elif distro == 'debian' %} - sh /custom-setup-debian {% endif %} ``` To see all values: sudo cloud-init query --all Any keys added to the standardized v1 keys are guaranteed to not change or drop on future released of cloud-init. 'v1' keys will be retained for backward-compatibility even if a new standardized 'v2' set of keys are introduced The following standardized v1 keys are added: * distro, distro_release, distro_version, kernel_version, machine, python_version, system_platform, variant LP: #1865969
2020-03-04net: support network-config:disabled on the kernel commandline (#232)Chad Smith
Allow disabling cloud-init's network configuration via a plain-text kernel cmdline Cloud-init docs indicate that users can disable cloud-init networking via kernel command line parameter 'network-config=<YAML>'. This does not work unless the <YAML> payload base64 encoded. Document the base64 encoding requirement and add a plain-text value for disabling cloud-init network config: network-config=disabled Also: - Log an error and ignore any plain-text network-config payloads that are not specifically 'network-config=disabled'. - Log a warning if network-config kernel param is invalid yaml but do not raise an exception, allowing boot to continue and use fallback networking.
