Bug Description

Binary package hint: cloud-init

-- Lucid, x86 & x64

With the evolution of the cloud packages like this make it much easier for provisioning base configurations. With that the ability of installing packages in to the instance on initial startup provides much flexibility with configuration management systems such as CHEF, and PUPPET. Though some of these prereqs have user directed input required on install. Trying to stay away from the golden image complex, cloud-init could benefit from implementing the debconf set selections. I have seen a purposed syntax in the TODO file in the example directory and I feel that would be a great addition. If I have time I might work on a patch and update this Bug/ER when I have time. Till then I wanted to see if others are limited by this issue like myself.

I agree. Wish I had realized the usefulness of this prior to lucid release.
Thank you for opening a bug.

just for the record here, the doc referred to was:

Its not normally the type of thing that gets pulled back. It definitely
qualifies as a feature rather than a bug fix.

Please go ahead and "nominate for release" of lucid, and then the server
team will look consider it.

Information for SRU:
  * Since Lucid is an LTS release and cloud computing is here to stay.
  * Having a way to preconfigured packages installed by cloud-init using dpkg-setselection is necessary to help people stay away from golden images.
  * adding this LP issue does not change any existing syntax in the cloud-init config file, only enabling additional support, prior configuration files will not break.

proposed patch for lucid Edit (2.9 KiB, text/plain)

Pete, I've added a build to my ppa. [1], and am attaching the patch here.
The build should finish sometime in the next day or so. I'd appreciate it if you'd test it and report back.

I've tested this build with:
## launch a ec2 lucid instance of ubuntu-lucid-10.04-i386-server-20100427.1
## in the us-east-1 region with some specific user data to test this.
$ cat /tmp/my-ud.txt
#cloud-config
debconf_selections: |
debconf debconf/priority select low
debconf debconf/frontend select readline
$ ec2-run-instances --user-data-file=/tmp/my-ud.txt --key mykey ami-2d4aa444

## now, in the instance
##
% sudo apt-add-repository ppa:smoser/ppa
% sudo apt-get update
% sudo apt-get debconf-utils
% sudo apt-get install cloud-init
% dpkg-query --show cloud-init
cloud-init 0.5.10-0ubuntu1.2~ppa0

% sudo debconf-get-selections | grep debconf/
debconf debconf/frontend select Dialog
debconf debconf/priority select high

## Remove the apt-update-upgrade "already ran" file to make this run again
## with the new code, and then run it again.
% sudo rm /var/lib/cloud/sem/apt-update-upgrade.i-*
% sudo cloud-init-cfg apt-update-upgrade
% sudo debconf-get-selections | grep debconf/
debconf debconf/frontend select readline
debconf debconf/priority select low

The above shows that the new code is functioning with the ppa build. Note, that 'frontend' and 'priority' values where changed by the re-running of 'cloud-init-cfg apt-update-upgrade'.

Martin, you can take a look at the patch attached to see if you think its sufficient.

Sure I will add it to my UEC image and give it a shot once the PPA build is done and let you know.

Martin Pitt (pitti) wrote on 2010-07-16:

Thanks for the patch link. The patch is small, self-contained, touches only non-compiled files, and does not change the default behaviour, so I consider it having a very low regression potential. It does add a new feature, but we are more lenient with that for LTS releases.

Patch approved for SRU, please go ahead and upload.

Set selection works, but.... the upstart scripts do not wait for the 'cloud-config' status.

So some of the scripts start too soon. I had to make most of the scripts use 'start on filesystem and cloud-config' and I made the cloud-run-user-scripts use 'start on (stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] and stopped cloud-config-misc)'

I will create a new issue but I feel this should be fixed prior to the SRU since this will prevent the usage of the cloud-init in UEC and maybe ec2.

Where do you not see it?
The archive is closed right now for 10.04.1 preparation, I did get an
acknowledgment of upload from launchpad for it though:

I've verified the update is functioning as it should. Here is how:

- booted ami-1eea0077 (us-east-1 ubuntu-lucid-daily-i386-server-20100817)
  with the following user data:
#cloud-config
debconf_selections: |
  debconf debconf/priority select low
  debconf debconf/frontend select readline
apt_update: true
apt_upgrade: true

sm_misc:
- &user_setup |
   set -x; exec > ~/user_setup.log 2>&1
   echo "starting at $(date -R)"
   echo "ps grep apt"
   ps axw | grep apt
   echo "ps grep cloud-init-cfg"
   ps axw | grep cloud-init-cfg

runcmd:
- [ sudo, -Hu, ubuntu, sh, -c, 'read up sleep < /proc/uptime; echo $(date): runcmd up at $up | tee -a ~/runcmd.log' ]
- [ sudo, -Hu, ubuntu, sh, -c, *user_setup ]
### end user data ###

- on initial boot, the instance has old cloud-init from lucid,
so old debconf values will be in place.
$ sudo apt-get install debconf-utils
$ sudo debconf-get-selections | grep debconf/
debconf debconf/frontend select Dialog
debconf debconf/priority select high

- save off old logs
$ mkdir old-logs && mv *.log old-logs

- add proposed and get cloud-init
  $ echo deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ \
     $(lsb_release -sc)-proposed restricted main multiverse universe |
     sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list
  $ sudo apt-get install cloud-init
  $ dpkg-query --show cloud-init
  cloud-init 0.5.10-0ubuntu1.2

- remove /var/lib/cloud so cloud-init will run again on next boot
$ sudo rm -Rf /var/lib/cloud
$ sudo reboot

- come back to instance, this time
  * debconf set selelections will have taken affect ( bug 582667 is fixed)
    $ sudo debconf-get-selections | grep debconf/
    debconf debconf/frontend select readline
    debconf debconf/priority select low

  * the logs will not show apt or cloud-init-cfg processes ( bug 613309 is fixed) because
    the scripts will have run after those have finished (even though 'apt-get
    upgrade' will have pulled all the -proposed changes)

    the second time, runcmd.log showed it was running at 92.46 seconds of
    uptime, compared to 12.63 the first time. The second time neither 'ps'
    finds cloud-init-cfg processes or apt processes.
