[Bug 1563951] Re: Cloud-init does not initialize systemd machine id
Greg, So digged a bit further, it seems that the ubuntu images do the right thing in that /etc/machine-id is not present in the image itself. I suspect your instances that you noticed this on were snapshotted from a once-booted instance or in some other way booted. If that is the case, it would seem like the best advice would be for you to just remove the file before snapshotting an instance for re-use, so that new instances would get a new id generated. Ideally in my mind, cloud-init or systemd or somethign would realize that this is a new instance and do the right thing, but that seems non- trivial at the moment. so i'll leave this as a wishlist bug on cloud- init. Thanks.

[Bug 1563951] Re: Cloud-init does not initialize systemd machine id
Yeah, likely this happens to early in boot for cloud-init to affect. I've marked livecd-rootfs as a target, which is (i think) proper for changing the images themselves. ** Also affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563951 Title: Cloud-init does not initialize systemd machine id To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1563951/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1563951] Re: Cloud-init does not initialize systemd machine id
Is it enough during boot to just: rm /etc/machine-id echo "" > /etc/machine-id ?

[Bug 1563951] Re: Cloud-init does not initialize systemd machine id
Hi, This does look like it would be useful. It seems like the thing I should do is : once per instance remove /etc/machine-id and run systemd-machine-id-setup Ideally i think is that any system where the instance-id is a uuid, we could just populate /etc/machine-id with that instance-id. What wasnt clear was whether or not this would be sufficient. systemd-machine-id-setup does not indicate the proper way to provide a machine id other than letting it randomly generate one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563951 Title: Cloud-init does not initialize systemd machine id To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1563951/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
