Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Rene Moser]

Hi

Nowadays the cloud-init [1] project supports cloudstack out of the box
and we switched our templates to only use cloud-init.

Unfortunately the docs regarding cloudstack is not that great (it is on
my list to give back my finding). There are some great docs here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cloud-init.

Our config under config dir /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/ has two files

- 80_root.cfg
- 99_cloudstack.cfg

80_root.cfg contents is...

system_info:
  default_user:
name: root
disable_root: 0
ssh_pwauth: 1

...and 99_cloudstack.cfg looks like...

datasource:
  CloudStack: {}
  None: {}
datasource_list:
  - CloudStack

Note that cloud-init has a ton of great features beside the support of
cloudstack.

Hope that helps

Thank you René,

I will take it from here and test it. Some documentation will be on the 
way as well.

Hi,

I can also highly recommend cloud-init. We use it for our templates as well. 
There is also a Windows analogue of it (https://cloudbase.it/cloudbase-init/) 
that I recently used to finally get password functionality to work properly on 
Windows Server 2016.

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Andrija Panic]

Good stuff (btw I have been using old password init and MSI installer for
win2016 and it works just fine for me).

Cloudinit also supports automatic resize of root partitions/filesystem on
boot (usefull when you deploy VM from small template but choose to make
root disk bigger during vm creation).

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Ivan Kudryavtsev]

Hello, colleagues.

Can cloud-init reset password as well? AFAIK initially it runs once for the
password, root volume resizes, keys which is fine for initial deployment,
but is not good for resetting the credentials.

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Alvarez Fernando]

Hello Ivan,


We use the scripts cloud-set-guest-password (first password and reset password) 
and cloud-set-guest-sshkey (use sshkey user) in Debian 8, Debian 9, Centos 6 - 
RHEL6 and Centos 7 - RHEL 7 and works fine!.

if you need them I can give them to you.

You must put this 2 files in /etc/init.d in Debian and /etc/rc.d/init.d in 
Centos/RHEL.
For other template initialization tasks we use cloud-init and works well too.

Regards,
Fernando.

RE: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Yordan Kostov]

Hello Ivan,

Currently working on cloud-init (for Centos 7.5) and how it can be used 
without the Cloudstack default scripts. I tried deleting the /run/cloud-init 
folder but the password is not changed. Is there any other place that should be 
edited/removed  ?

Best regards,
Jordan

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Ivan Kudryavtsev]

Hi, Jordan. That's the question, indeed. That's why I was interested in the
topic. I don't know the answer to your question. Hopefully, the best one is
to change the CloudStack module, but the trick with removing 'breadcrumb'
files also should work.

RE: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Yordan Kostov]

Ivan,

I can verify that deleting /run/cloud-init does not make the VM get another 
root password on the next boot (after changing it from ACD gui). Thank you for 
the info, if I make it work I will let you know.

Best regards,
Jordan

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Rafael Weingärtner]

Hey guys, I do not know how cloud-init is supposed to work regarding
passwords, but I recall having similar issues with SSH keys. After having a
key deployed, cloud-init would not update the key, if it was changed in
ACS/OpenStack (it has been almost two years that I tested this, so I am not
sure if this still persists). After reaching out the community
(cloud-init), I discovered that it was designed this way, and to change it
would require some work Cloud-init (not just ACS/OpenStack modules).

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Rene Moser]

Hi again

Seems no one seems to read my stuff.

cloud-init is able to reset the password (similar the scripts), see
https://github.com/cloud-init/cloud-init/blob/master/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceCloudStack.py#L45


WE USE IT! IT REALLY WORKS.

Note that it uses the default user, e.g. for CentOS it is centos. That
is why we configure the default user.

Look at the conifgs I wrote in the first mail.

Regards
René

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Ivan Kudryavtsev]

Rene, thank you for your confirmation that it works. I'll check it again,
but my configuration looks like yours (haven't checked line by line) and
password reset doesn't work with cloud-init from ubuntu apt repository. Our
engineer rebuilds template delivery CI/CD pipeline now and we will have a
chance to test again.

RE: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Yordan Kostov]

Hey Rene and Ivan,

During tests my setup was utilizing Rene scripts:
- 99_CloudStack.cfg script successfully makes cloud-init to use Cloudstack data.
- 80_root.cfg script was preventing  cloud_init to start during boot (missing 
parameters error message) so I removed it and used the default config.cfg 
instead.
 
Regarding the password change I figured it out - the password script is 
made to be run once per instance. The data about the password setup is kept by 
/var/lib/cloud/instances//sem/config_set_passwords file.  If 
you delete this file the next boot will fetch the ACD password but it will 
apply it for the user that has been set in cloud-init config file.

Possible workarounds:
- ugly - make sure the file is deleted after boot with the custom script 
cloud-init option.
- clean - change the password script execution frequency per boot instead of 
per instance. Unfortunately I could not find the file that defines the 
frequency for the datasource file 
(/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceCloudStack.py). 

Best regards,
Jordan

Hello, FYI.
Our engineer managed to solve the problem for the password reset with bare
cloud-init and Ubuntu 16.04.
Confirm, it works, however it seems it uses hacks Yordan is talking about:
