If you prefer cloud-init you can use this guide -> http://qa.cloudstack.cloud/docs/WIP-PROOFING/pr/215/adminguide/templates/_cloud_init.html

The iso out of the box didn't work, or at least required me to access the console to get the initial install done. I have a two step process I've described before, and am still waiting on approval for some ansible I wrote to push it to a public repo. Create a very basic template with ssh and a known password. I call this a stepping stone template and is only used by admins to create the templates users actually use. Then I spin up an instance from that template and run my ansible against it. Once the instance shuts down I manually create a template from it. That ansible has a few steps: Get su or sudo configured enough for the rest of the play to run install a minimal set of required/desired packages (rsyslog on Centos, tar, zip, etc). install and configure required cloud-init packages, make sure cloud-utils-growpart is install on RedHat systems cleanup package caches template over the final script that does the final cleanup. run the final scripts async from the ansible and disconnect. The script does a few things sleep for a bit to make sure the ansible disconnects delete and remove sudoers files for users lock the root password remove cloud-init logs reset cloud-init (cloud-init clean) remove ssh host keys remove the script itself shutdown -P now I found -P more reliably powers off the instance than -H. Eventually I intend to automate making the template instead of manual steps in the webconsole. Darren -- This e-mail is confidential.

My VMs are running with kvm as the hypervisor. I have been following this guide: https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/templates.html*uploading-templates-from-a-remote-http-server__;Iw!!A6UyJA!xw2NyLYQBA44F2FBRGsd45yq24Gk2nc6nWulaz8TXyFlF8GS4zM-7YNwIO70yOpo30VSh3JGkswu$ but when I follow all the steps, I cannot login to the machine anymore. Are there any official ubuntu templates that have this ssh and password change ability baked in? Or is there something else that I should try? Thanks! Peter
