.. _datasource_cloudsigma: CloudSigma ========== This datasource finds metadata and user-data from the `CloudSigma`_ cloud platform. Data transfer occurs through a virtual serial port of the `CloudSigma`_'s VM and the presence of network adapter is **NOT** a requirement, See `server context`_ in the public documentation for more information. Setting a hostname ------------------ By default the name of the server will be applied as a hostname on the first boot. Providing user-data ------------------- You can provide user-data to the VM using the dedicated `meta field`_ in the `server context`_ ``cloudinit-user-data``. By default *cloud-config* format is expected there and the ``#cloud-config`` header could be omitted. However since this is a raw-text field you could provide any of the valid `config formats`_. You have the option to encode your user-data using Base64. In order to do that you have to add the ``cloudinit-user-data`` field to the ``base64_fields``. The latter is a comma-separated field with all the meta fields whit base64 encoded values. If your user-data does not need an internet connection you can create a `meta field`_ in the `server context`_ ``cloudinit-dsmode`` and set "local" as value. If this field does not exist the default value is "net". .. _CloudSigma: http://cloudsigma.com/ .. _server context: http://cloudsigma-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/server_context.html .. _meta field: http://cloudsigma-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/meta.html .. _config formats: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/format.html .. vi: textwidth=78
