We provision our CentOS 8 kvm template with kickstart which works fine. We clone with cloud-init of Proxmox.
Now we want to add an Ubuntu template. Ubuntu uses now and in future "cloud-init" autoinstall (https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall)
Ubuntus new autoinstall works quite well. But if we clone from the template the cloud-init setup from ubuntu autoinstall installer is still in the template and prevents Proxmox from its cloud-init provisioning.
So we tried to remove installers cloud-init package (and snapd :-/) from the autoinstall cloud-init:
This does not work. Also not with "curtin" (part of the Ubuntu installer process) which is described here https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-reference#late-commands:
Example:
The command is executed but when we start the generated vm snap is still here just like cloud-init.
Does anyone has experience with Ubuntu cloud-init autoinstall especially in connection with Proxmox cloud-init.
We would like to avoid to manually remove installers cloud-init (and snapd) from the generated vm.
