Cloud Init in Armbian

[rvalle]

Hi!

 

I am creating an Image that uses Cloud Init for customization. It involves creating an extra vfat partition for the CloudInit meta data.

 

This is becoming an industry standard way to initialize virtual machines and now physical too. MAAS and Ubuntu on RPI also use it.

 

What is the cleanest way to remove or disable equivalent scripts  in Armbian ?

In particular firstlogin and firstboot ?

Not sure if this helps, or what you are looking for.

 

Armbian has a template in boot which can be configured and deleted once applied, look for armbian_first_run.txt.template

Well, armbian has a lot of code for server initialization, and cloud-init is designed specifically for this. It is becoming a de-facto standard, and it fits nicely with armbian in general.

 

OK! I had not noticed that file. Thanks!

 

So far I am trying to remove files from the system via customize_image.sh , but I don't think this may be the best way to disable this functionality.
