2021-07-19Document known hotplug limitations (#950)James Falcon
2021-07-19Initial hotplug support (#936)James Falcon
Adds a udev script which will invoke a hotplug hook script on all net add events. The script will write some udev arguments to a systemd FIFO socket (to ensure we have only instance of cloud-init running at a time), which is then read by a new service that calls a new 'cloud-init devel hotplug-hook' command to handle the new event. This hotplug-hook command will: - Fetch the pickled datsource - Verify that the hotplug event is supported/enabled - Update the metadata for the datasource - Ensure the hotplugged device exists within the datasource - Apply the config change on the datasource metadata - Bring up the new interface (or apply global network configuration) - Save the updated metadata back to the pickle cache Also scattered in some unrelated typing where helpful

2021-06-17docs: fix stale links rename master branch to main (#926)Chad Smith
Update doc references to 'main' default branch due to rename. Also some links have eroded: - for doc links directly to a line num link to a blob/<commit>/file/path#L10 instead of blob/<branch_name>. - pytest.param link to a specific version doc as latest has dropped the link
2021-06-17Fix DNS in NetworkState (SC-133) (#923)James Falcon
v1 network config currently has no concept of interface-specific DNS, which is required for certain renderers. To fix this, added an optional 'interface' key on the v1 nameserver definition. If specified, it makes the DNS settings specific to the interface. Otherwise, it will be defined as global DNS as it always has. Additionally, DNS for v2 wasn't being recognized correctly. For DNS defined on a particular interface, these settings now also go into the global DNS settings as they were intended.
2021-06-17Fix the spelling of "DigitalOcean" (#924)Mark Mercado
The name "DigitalOcean" doesn't have a space in it; it's a single compound word written in Pascal case (upper camel case).
2021-06-14add DragonFlyBSD support (#904)Gonéri Le Bouder
- Mostly based on FreeBSD, the main exception is that `find_devs_with_on_freebsd` does not work. - Since we cannot get the CDROM or the partition labels, `find_devs_with_on_dragonflybsd()` has a more naive approach and returns all the block devices.
2021-06-10Use instance-data-sensitive.json in jinja templates (SC-117) (#917)James Falcon
instance-data.json redacts sensitive data for non-root users. Since user data is consumed as root, we should be consuming the non-redacted data instead. LP: #1931392

2021-05-27Docs: Replace all freenode references with libera (#912)James Falcon
2021-05-13Allow user control over update events (#834)James Falcon
Control is currently limited to boot events, though this should allow us to more easily incorporate HOTPLUG support. Disabling 'instance-first-boot' is not supported as we apply networking config too early in boot to have processed userdata (along with the fact that this would be a pretty big foot-gun). The concept of update events on datasource has been split into supported update events and default update events. Defaults will be used if there is no user-defined update events, but user-defined events won't be supplied if they aren't supported. When applying the networking config, we now check to see if the event is supported by the datasource as well as if it is enabled. Configuration looks like: updates: network: when: ['boot']
2021-04-14doc: Replace remaining references to user-scripts as a config module (#866)Ryan Harper
git-grep showed a few more locations where we refer to a "user-scripts" config module which is really cc_scripts_user module. Replace these references with slightly different language so as not to confuse future me when looking for "user-scripts" vs. "scripts-user"

2021-02-05openstack: read the dynamic metadata group vendor_data2.json (#777)Andrew Bogott
Add support for openstack's dynamic vendor data, which appears under openstack/latest/vendor_data2.json This adds vendor_data2 to all pathways; it should be a no-op for non-OpenStack providers. LP: #1841104
2021-01-27[VMware] change default max wait time to 15s (#774)xiaofengw-vmware
If cloud-init is enabled on VMware platform, cloud-init will wait until its configuration file is ready and currently the max wait is 90 seconds by default. With our test, this configuration file should be ready within 1 second, so change it to 15 seconds for better performance. Also update the documentation about how to change the default value in cloud-init configuration file.
2021-01-21doc: avoid two warnings (#781)Dan Kenigsberg
Two shell code blocks are not marked as such, confusing rst to consider them as yaml.

2021-01-05network-config-format-v2.rst: add Netplan Passthrough section (#750)Daniel Watkins
We don't currently document our passthrough behaviour, which has lead to some user confusion about what they can rely upon on Ubuntu systems. This clarifies our support.
2020-12-18doc: move testing section from HACKING to its own doc (#739)Daniel Watkins
Our HACKING doc is very long, making it hard to justify expanding or restructuring its content too much. This moves the testing section to its own doc, and adds section headers in to make finding/linking to testing guidelines easier. To avoid confusion, the title of debugging.rst is changed.

2020-12-09Update documentation for network-config-format-v2 (#701)ggiesen
Update documentation for network-config-format-v2 to reflect the fact that routes are a per-interface property, not a global network property.
2020-12-03integration_tests: introduce skipping of tests by OS (#702)Daniel Watkins
This introduces an optional, more complex OS_IMAGE format (`<image id>::<os>::<release>`) which allows the specification of the OS/OS release which the given image ID corresponds to. This information is used to skip tests which do not apply to the image. This commit is comprised of the following discrete changes: * introduce the IntegrationImage class, to handle parsing and storing the new OS_IMAGE format * support inferring the OS and OS release of Ubuntu series, so that we can continue to set OS_IMAGE to just a series name and have test skipping work * add documentation on Image Selection to integration_tests.rst * introduce the actual skipping behaviour based on OS marks * apply the `ubuntu` mark to all tests that should be skipped on non-Ubuntu operating systems

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.
