CloudSigma Datasource
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This datasource finds metadata and user-data from the `CloudSigma`_ cloud platform.
|
|
Data transfer occurs through a virtual serial port of the `CloudSigma`_'s VM and the
|
|
presence of network adapter is **NOT** a requirement,
|
|
|
|
See `server context`_ in the public documentation for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting a hostname
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
By default the name of the server will be applied as a hostname on the first boot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Providing user-data
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can provide user-data to the VM using the dedicated `meta field`_ in the `server context`_
|
|
``cloudinit-user-data``. By default *cloud-config* format is expected there and the ``#cloud-config``
|
|
header could be omitted. However since this is a raw-text field you could provide any of the valid
|
|
`config formats`_.
|
|
|
|
You have the option to encode your user-data using Base64. In order to do that you 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.
|
|
|
|
If your user-data does not need an internet connection you can create a
|
|
`meta field`_ in the `server context`_ ``cloudinit-dsmode`` and set "local" as value.
|
|
If this field does not exist the default value is "net".
