[SOLVED] cloudinit userdata runcmd

[cdukes]

I've successfully set up a cloudinit image, but in the GUI, there doesn't seem to be a way to use a `runcmd` to install software after a cloned image boots up.
Is there some way to do something like:

runcmd:
- apt install qemu-guest-agent

This will be possible with qemu-server 5.0-48 or higher and custom snippets. With snippets you can specify custom network, user or meta files that override the generated config file. This means you can mix for example the generated network data file and the generated meta data file with a custom written user data file.

Ah, ok. Is there a release data set for that yet?

Hi Tom, is there a link to documentation for this new method?
