PVE coud-init with FreeBSD-guest

[Catwoolfii]

Good day!
I tried to use cloud-init to a virtual machine with FreeBSD-11.1 and py27-cloud-init package, but it doesn't work (on a virtual machine with Debian Stretch it works perfectly). Is it possible in pve at the moment?

May I ask what you do with an freebsd as VM?

 

[Catwoolfii]

Mostly use for tests.

Inside the vm, py27-cloud-init-0.7.6_1 package is used

 

[dcsapak]

do the cloud init logs from the vm say anything?
0.7.6 is a very old cloud-init version, and there were many bugs

Unfortunately, there is no update for this package, even in ports. I tried using py27-cloud-init-azure-0.7.9_1 package, but it also failed. Here is what the log messages:

this looks like cloud-init itself fails in the guest, so nothing we can fix

i am using this https://bsd-cloud-image.org/ it seems not working. cloud-init cant change the root password
