Adding cloud-init Information for Roving Edge Infrastructure

Describes how to add cloud-init information for Roving Edge Infrastructure.

Use cloud-init to run customization scripts. See Using Custom Cloud-init Initialization Scripts for more information about using cloud-init in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Refer to the following cloud-init documentation for general information about cloud-init.

Scripts must have a shebang (#!) at the top.

You can run Roving Edge Infrastructure-provisioned customization scripts for easy provisioning of Compute instances.

Roving Edge Infrastructure users that are created using cloud-init-based customization scripts, and installed software packages are preserved.

To configure your Roving Edge Infrastructure Compute instance to use cloud-init:

1. Open the following file on your Roving Edge Infrastructure devices:

   /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg

2. Add the following line under the scripts-user section:

   [ scripts-user, always ]

3. Save and close the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file.

4. Place any cloud-init customization scripts in the following folder:

   /var/lib/cloud/scripts/per-boot

   These scripts run at every boot and overwrite dracut initrd configs as it runs after that process.
