P.Lowe, did you ever get an answer on this. I’m doing something very similar with SaltStack.

Hi,

I am investigating the use of lxd to dynamically spin up server instances.

I'm thinking about using a code-as-infrastructure approach using a chef-solo cookbook that is pulled out of git upon the container's initial boot and does all the provisioning upon initial boot.

Would people recommend creating a new container from a base image, modifying rc.local to pull the cookbook from git and launch it upon initial bootup, after which rc.local is reset to be empty and the server is restarted?

After rc.local is modified, the new container would be published to the local image store, so that whenever a new container is launched, it will boot up, run rc.local, pull the cookbook from git, run the cookbook and apply all the local provisioning operations, empty out rc.local, and then reboot the machine, after which it will boot with the customized provisioning parameters for normal operation.

What is the recommended way to send provisioning parameters (e.g. ip address, gateway, hostname, block device mounts, secrets (certs / keys)) to the container? Would people just drop a config file into the container using the lxc push command, or any other better techniques?

Thanks,

P.Lowe
