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.

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
Since 94838def772349387e16cc642b3642020e22deda, CloudInit supports NetBSD too.
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.

2020-02-27Fix docs for OpenStack DMI Asset Tag (#228)Mark T. Voelker
In cloud-init 19.2, we added the ability for cloud-init to detect OpenStack platforms by checking for "OpenStack Compute" or "OpenStack Nova" in the chassis asset tag. However, this was never reflected in the documentation. This patch updates the datasources documentation for OpenStack to reflect the possibility of using the chassis asset tag. LP: #1669875

2019-12-20freebsd: introduce the freebsd renderer (#61)Gonéri Le Bouder
* freebsd: introduce the freebsd renderer Refactoring of the FreeBSD code base to provide a real network renderer for FreeBSD. Use the generic update_sysconfig_file() from rhel_util to handle the access to /etc/rc.conf. Interfaces are not automatically renamed by FreeBSD using the following configuration in /etc/rc.conf: ``` ifconfig_fxp0_name="eth0" ``` * freesd: use regex named groups Reduce the complexity of `get_interfaces_by_mac_on_freebsd()` with named groups. * freebsd: breaks up _write_network() in tree small functions - `_write_ifconfig_entries()` - `_write_route_entries()` - `_write_resolve_conf()` * extend find_fallback_nic() to support FreeBSD this uses `route -n show default` to find the default interface * freebsd: use dns keys from NetworkState class The NetworkState class (settings instance) exposes the DNS configuration in two keys: - `dns_nameservers` - `dns_searchdomains` On OpenStack, these keys are set when a global DNS server is set. The alternative is the `dns_nameservers` and `dns_search` keys from each subdomain. We continue to read those. * freebsd: properly target the /etc/resolv.conf file * freebsd: ignore 'service routing restart' ret code On FreeBSD 10, the restart of routing and dhclient is likely to fail because - routing: it cannot remove the loopback route, but it will still set up the default route as expected. - dhclient: it cannot stop the dhclient started by the netif service. In both case, the situation is ok, and we can proceed. * freebsd: handle case when metadata MAC local locally Handle the case where the metadata configuration comes with a MAC that does not exist locally. See: - https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/61/files/635ce14b3153934ba1041be48b7245062f21e960#r359600604 - https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/61/files/635ce14b3153934ba1041be48b7245062f21e960#r359600966 * freebsd: show up a warning if several subnet found The FreeBSD provider currently only allow one subnet per interface. * freebsd: honor the target parameter in _write_network * freebsd: log when a bad route is found * freebsd: pass _postcmds to start_services() * freebsd: updatercconf() is depercated Replace `updatercconf()` by `rhel_util.update_sysconfig_file()`. * freebsd: ensure gateway is ipv4 before using it With the legacy ENI format, an IPv6 gateway may be pushed. This instead of the expected IPv4. * freebsd: find_fallback_nic, support FB10 On FreeBSD <= 10, `ifconfig -l` ignores the down interfaces. * freebsd: use util.target_path() to load resolv.conf Ensure we access `/etc/resolv.conf`, not `etc/resolv.conf`. * freebsd: skip subnet without netmask Those are likely to be either invalid of in IPv6 format. IPv6 support will be addressed later in a new patchset. * freebsd: get_devicelist returns netif list Ensure `get_devicelist()` returns the list of known netif on FreeBSD. * replace rhel_util.update_sysconfig_file wrapper call, with a wrapper function * reverse if condition to remove an indent Co-authored-by: Igor Galić <me+github@igalic.co>
