You can generate a safe hash via: # mkpasswd -m SHA-512 -s 4096 # (the above command would create a password SHA512 password hash # with 4096 salt rounds) # # Please note: while the use of a hashed password is better than # plain text, the use of this feature is not ideal. Also, # using a high number of salting rounds will help, but it should # not be relied upon. # # To highlight this risk, running John the Ripper against the # example hash above, with a readily available wordlist, revealed # the true password in 12 seconds on a i7-2620QM. # # In other words, this feature is a potential security risk and is # provided for your convenience only. If you do not fully trust the # medium over which your cloud-config will be transmitted, then you # should use SSH authentication only. # # You have thus been warned. # no-create-home: When set to true, do not create home directory. # no-user-group: When set to true, do not create a group named after the user. # no-log-init: When set to true, do not initialize lastlog and faillog database. # ssh-import-id: Optional. Import SSH ids # ssh-authorized-key: Optional. Add key to user's ssh authorized keys file # sudo: Defaults to none. Set to the sudo string you want to use, i.e. # ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL. To add multiple rules, use the following # format. # sudo: # - ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/mysql # - ALL=(ALL) ALL # Note: Please double check your syntax and make sure it is valid. # cloud-init does not parse/check the syntax of the sudo # directive. # system: Create the user as a system user. This means no home directory. # # Default user creation: Ubuntu Only # Unless you define users, you will get a Ubuntu user on Ubuntu systems with the # legacy permission (no password sudo, locked user, etc). If however, you want # to have the ubuntu user in addition to other users, you need to instruct # cloud-init that you also want the default user. To do this use the following # syntax: # users: # default: True # foobar: ... # # users[0] (the first user in users) overrides the user directive.
