In order to do that thet 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. --- doc/sources/cloudsigma/README.rst | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc/sources') diff --git a/doc/sources/cloudsigma/README.rst b/doc/sources/cloudsigma/README.rst index 1d9160a2..6509b585 100644 --- a/doc/sources/cloudsigma/README.rst +++ b/doc/sources/cloudsigma/README.rst @@ -23,6 +23,10 @@ You can provide user-data to the VM using the dedicated `meta field`_ in the `se header could be omitted.
