Cloud-init problem

[Klesti]

cloud-init config template is ignored when we start the new instance


metadata




usrdata

qm set 101 --cicustom "user=local:snippets/101-userdata.yml,meta=local:snippets/101-metadata.yml"


also problems with OpenSuse Leap and no support for .qcow2 images

Can you expand on this? What troubleshooting if any have you done on/after boot? Do you see the ISO generated? Does it contain correct files?
What is the configuration of the VM? ie "qm config [vmid]"

after the cloudinit disk mount qm set 101 --ide2 zfs:cloudinit i start the vm and the vm just starts normally ignoring the ci configs
after boot im not able to access the vm since my ssh keys where not added into the server and idk where the logs of Poxmox are for this case

your screenshots have yaml extension
your config has yml extension
the metadata is not referenced at all
network was not presented/discussed originally

I recommend going back and carefully examining everything... Triple and quadruple checking.

If in your decription of the issue you supply wrong/outdated data - it makes it very hard to give any suggestions..

We use cloud-init daily on hundreds of VMs that are constantly added and removed. Many hundreds if not thousands of users do so as well around the world. It works.

Your config files seem ok, but its hard to judge based on screenshot. Have you run them through https://www.yamllint.com/ ?

Are you sure your OS is properly configured to use cloudinit? Does it have proper packages installed? Are they in correct state?

Have you tried to use built-in cloud-init ?

Have you tried one of the industry standard Cloud images, ie Ubuntu or Centos? Try them with built-in system. Then try your custom config files.

Reduce complexity of your custom file to a minimum, examine the log after boot, ie /var/log/cloud-init.log and /var/log/cloud-init-output.log

Good luck.
