cloud-init

Provides cloud-init configuration templates.

Use it on boxctl

  1. On the dashboard, pick cloud-init in the Template picker and click Boot box.
  2. The box boots, then runs cloud-init/ssh-443.config on itself. The button reads Booting… until the script has finished.
  3. Open the box's Terminal and follow the guide below. The box's row keeps a link back to this page under the template's name.

The guide is shared with the onctl CLI, so it starts from an onctl up -a cloud-init/ssh-443.config command. Booting a box with this template replaces that command; everything the guide runs on the VM itself applies as written.

Example cloud-init files

run ssh server on port 443

onctl up -n qwe -i cloud-init/ssh-443.config

See the template's source for exactly what it runs.
