2012-11-07adjust documentation to account for apt/package aliasesScott Moser
2012-10-23move default user info out of code and into configScott Moser
Remove the need to have 'default_user' and 'default_user_groups' groups be hard coded into the distro class, instead let that set of configuration be located in the config file where it should be specified instead.
2012-09-21Fix some docs + pylint warnings + log on default created in the module.Joshua Harlow
2012-09-211. Cleanup the user creation so that the distro class isJoshua Harlow
responsible only for creating users and groups and normalizing a input configuration into a normalized format that splits up the user list, the group list and the default user listsand let the add user/group config module handle calling those methods to add its own users/groups and the default user (if any). 2. Also add in tests for this normalization process to ensure that it is pretty bug free and works with the different types of formats that users/groups/defaults + options can take.

2012-09-18Add support for useradd --selinux-user''Garrett Holmstrom
2012-08-31Add some examples on how to use the new launch-indexJoshua Harlow
support in a cloud-archive format as well as a cloud-config format and explain how this will affect the final userdata available to an instance.
2012-08-31incorrect example in docScott Moser
2012-08-31- Converted user list to user dict to allow exclusion of the default userBen Howard
on Ubuntu systems via cloud-config (LP: #1041384). - Fixed bug with user creation on Ubuntu where the default user groups are not set properly (LP: #1044044). - Fixed documentation for user creation (LP: #1044508).
2012-08-27move user-groups section from cloud-config.txt to its own file.Scott Moser
move the section on user and group adds into doc/examples/cloud-config-user-groups.txt
2012-08-27Fixed critical bug where user and group creation was being done after SSHBen Howard
configurations were applied. The result of this bug was that cloud-config supplied SSH public keys would fail to apply since the configured user may or may not exist. (LP: #1042459). cloudinit/config/cc_ssh_import_id.py: ssh_import_id.py now handles all user SSH import IDs. cloudinit/distros/ubuntu.py: Removed create_user class override as cruft, since ssh_import_id now handles all users. config/cloud.cfg: Moved users_groups to run under cloud_init_modules. doc/examples/cloud-config.txt: Added missing documentation on user and group creation.
2012-08-22add support for creating initial users and groupsScott Moser
Added "userless" mode to cloud-init for handling the creation of the users and the default user on Ubuntu. The end goal of this is to remove the need for the 'ubuntu' user in the cloud images and to allow individuals to choose the default user name. LP: #1028503
2012-08-20Added "userless" mode to cloud-init for handling the creation of theBen Howard
users and the default user on Ubuntu. cloudinit/config/cc_users_groups.py: new cloud-config module for creating users and groups on instance initialization. - Creates users and group - Sets "user" directive used in ssh_import_id cloudinit/config/cc_ssh_import_id.py: module will rely upon users_groups for setting the default user. Removed assumption of 'ubuntu' user. cloudinit/distros/__init__.py: Added new abstract methods for getting and creating the default user. cloudinit/distros/ubuntu.py: Defined abstract methods for getting and and creating the default 'ubuntu' user on Ubuntu instances. cloudinit/util.py: Added ability to hide command run through util.subp to prevent the commands from showing in the logs. Used by user_groups cloud-config module. config/cloud.cfg: Removed "user: ubuntu" directive and replaced with new user-less syntax. doc/examples/cloud-config.txt: Documented the creation of users and groups.
2012-08-14doc: move datasource documentation to doc/sourcesScott Moser
Each datasource had a bit of doc with it, and those were just landing in doc/. I've moved them to doc/sources now.
2012-08-14Add RHEVm and vSphere support as datasource AltCloudScott Moser
These changes add a new data source to cloud-init to support passing user data to RHEVm and vSphere. The user data is passed to RHEVm v3.0 (current version) using a floppy injection hook and to vSphere via cdrom device. RHEVm v3.1 will use a method similar to vSphere. Once available support for that is also expected.
2012-08-03do not search for mirror named '<distro>-mirror' in dns by defaultScott Moser
As described in the bug, enough non-cloud users experienced issues with cloud-init selecting a mirror due to consumer level network providers using dns server redirection. We're turning this off by default. LP: #974509
2012-07-24Add documentation for RHEVm and vSphereJoe VLcek
2012-07-11add write-files module for "injecting" files (LP: #1012854)Scott Moser
This implements file writing via cloud-config. It also * adjusts other code to have user/group parsing in util instead of in stages.py, * renames decomp_str to decomp_gzip since it is more meaningful when named that (as thats all it can decompress). LP: #1012854
2012-07-11Update the write files with the new content/compression handling.Joshua Harlow
Adjust the examples file to reflect this.
2012-07-11Adjust the decoding of the files that are given so that a canonicalizeJoshua Harlow
happens first, which will examine the incoming encoding, and decide the neccasary decoding types needed to get the final resultant string and then use these normalized decoding types to actually do the final decode. Also change the name of the config key that is looked up to 'write_files' since 'files' is pretty generic and could have clashes with other modules. Add an example that shows how to use this in the different encoding formats that are supported.
2012-04-09replace bug links with LP: # syntax, use '$RELEASE' for apt sourceScott Moser
cloud-init expands $RELEASE in a source so it can easily be used.

2012-04-04add reading of 'seedfrom' via DataSourceNoCloud's DataSourceConfigScott Moser
What this does is provide an second DataSource that could use the kernel command line url=. For example: ro root=/dev/vda url=http://example.com/i-abcdefg/ http://example.com/i-abcdefg/ would contain: datasource: NoCloud: # default seedfrom is None # if found, then it should contain a url with: # <url>/user-data and <url>/meta-data # seedfrom: http://my.example.com/i-abcde seedfrom: http://example.com/i-abcdefg/ Then, the NoCloudNet DataSource would find that seedfrom config and consume data at http://example.com/i-abcdefg/user-data and http://example.com/i-abcdefg/meta-data
2012-04-04initial checkin of kernel commandline cloud-config url supportScott Moser
2012-03-21allow cloud-config to control if resizefs is blocking or notScott Moser
2012-03-16rename DataSourceMaaS to DataSourceMAAS, generally use MAAS everywhereScott Moser
instead of MaaS or Maas, use MAAS consistently. The only non 'MAAS' left are all lower case.
2012-03-09add option apt_pipelining to cloud-config to address s3 mirrors (LP: #948461)Scott Moser
Thanks to Ben Howard.
2012-03-09mention bug number in cloud-config.txtScott Moser
2012-03-08Simplified proposed patchBen Howard
- Changed values to be more simplistic and intuitive - Only allow pipelining values up to 5 - Changed to per_instance over per_always to remove need for tracking the values - Fixed Python style

2011-12-20support configuration of landscape-client via cloud-config (LP: #857366)Scott Moser
This adds the ability to configure landscape client code from cloud-config. The fields available are those that were populated to /etc/landscape/client.conf when I ran landscape-config on precise ('11.07.1.1-0ubuntu2')
2011-12-20update documentation for bootcmdScott Moser
- reference cloud-init-per - mention that INSTANCE_ID is in environment of bootcmd scripts
2011-12-20output public ssh host keys to console on boot (LP: #893400)Scott Moser
Currently cloud-init writes something like this to console output: ec2: ############################################################# ec2: -----BEGIN SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS----- ec2: 2048 78:ae:f3:91:04:6f:8d:ee:ef:e1:2d:72:83:6a:d0:82 root@h (RSA) ec2: 1024 d3:b6:32:64:22:d4:43:05:f9:25:b4:f3:65:4e:e2:51 root@h (DSA) ec2: -----END SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS----- ec2: ############################################################# the key fingerprints are useful for humans to read, but not so useful for machines, as you cannot populate a KnownHostsFile (~/.ssh/known_hosts) from the data there. This change adds output like: -----BEGIN SSH HOST KEY KEYS----- ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZHNhLXNoYTItbmlzdH......STI= root@h ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDYRIQe6m......tWF3 root@h -----END SSH HOST KEY KEYS----- Those lines can easily be grabbed and appended to a known_hosts file.
2011-12-19revert default handling of /etc/hosts to 0.6.1 style (Ubuntu 11.04)Scott Moser
The default management of /etc/hosts in 0.6.2 (Ubuntu 11.10) was problematic for a couple different uses, and represented a change in what was present in previous releases. This changes the default behavior back to the way it was in 11.04/0.6.1. It makes 'manage_etc_hosts' in cloud-config more than just a boolean. It can now have 3 values: * False (default): do not update /etc/hosts ever * "localhost": manage /etc/hosts' 127.0.1.1 entry (the way it was done in 11.10/0.6.2) * True (or "template"): manage /etc/hosts via template file This addresses bugs * LP: #890501 * LP: #871966
2011-12-19make DataSourceEc2 more resilliant to slow metadata service (LP: #894279)Scott Moser
This increases the timeout for a metadata request to something that should be easily satisfiable (50 seconds). But hopefully does so while still keeping the case of no-metadata service in mind. Previously, there was a small timeout and many retries (30) would be done. Now, - larger timeout (50 seconds) by default - retry until a given "max_wait" is reached (120 seconds default) The end result is that if we're hitting the timeout, there will only end up being a couple attempts made. But if the requests are coming back quickly then we'll still make several attempts. There is one EC2DataSource config change, now 'retries' is not used, but rather 'max_wait' to indicate generally how long it should try to find a metadata service.
