[SOLVED] cloud-init package host side

[Valerio Pachera]

Hi all, from what I understand cloud-init is used to initialize a guest.
Do we need to have cloud-init package installed also on the host?

Right now I'm running an old proxmox version: 5.2-1 and when I restart the host I get lot's of these errors:

Mar 28 12:49:36 pve-01 cloud-init[1437]: 2019-03-28 12:49:36,014 - url_helper.py[WARNING]: Calling 'http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id' failed [3/120s]: request error [HTTPConnectionPool(host='169.254.169.254', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id (Caused by NewConnectionError('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fbf6a46ae80>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 113] No route to host',))]

and it takes long to boot.

Thank you

Hi,

No this package is only needed in the KVM Guest.
