I have a small tool that downloads cloud images and creates and runs VMs based on them. I'm trying to support OmniOS (tried first OpenIndiana)...

alexpdp7/cloud-run #16 is mostly working, but I think cloud-init is not provisioning my users- I cannot see anything on the terminal about cloud-init, so unsure about how to troubleshoot

(or even know if cloud-init is running at all...)

does the cloud image have any preset user? haven't found that in the docs

Yes, is configures a user called `omnio`

*omnios

Cloud init should be quite noisy on the console

Are you using one of the official cloud images for this?

If cloud init failed for some reason, you should be able to log in as root with no password and look at the log

ah, nice! I'm using downloads.omnios.org/media/stable/omnios-r151048.cloud.raw.zst ... root with no password works, thanks

actually, cloud-init took a long time to run, and then showed something on the console

it couldn't find metadata, I guess my injection mechanism doesn't work well- it's only been tested on Linux

I'm mounting an ISO for metadata

I think that should work, that's how bhyve VMs inject metadata on omnios and we do run the omnios cloud image in there. I'll be interested in what you find out
