Hello All,
I'm looking to provide some feedback on cloud-init and the F16 AMI's. I'm not sure the proper place to file the bug against. I'm attempting to place a simple shell script in user data to perform post-boot configuration. This fails since I'm unable to execute anything within user data. (I'm hoping eventually to use cloud-config syntax)
The cloud-init startup process (sometime after placing the ssh keys) at one point runs: /usr/bin/cloud-init-cfg all final During this stage, run-parts gets run to actually execute the downloaded user data. It fails with the following:
CalledProcessError: Command '['run-parts', '--regex', '.*', '/var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts']
The --regex flag is not accepted by the Fedora version of run-parts. Debian/Ubuntu both have a compiled binary of run-parts that accepts this flag.
Here is a reproduction of it on an already booted machine:
I've got two solutions that seem to work in initial testing.
1) Backing in a copy of run-parts that accepts the additional arguments into a new ami.
2) Removing the regex flag + _expression_ out of /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/util.py
So my question to the group. What is a better fix to peruse, adding functionality to run-parts, or patching util.py to not use the regex?
Thanks!
