Description Paul Gonin 2017-06-26 09:46:32 UTC

I started a server on an OpenStack cloud with image openSUSE-Leap-42.3-JeOS-Build11.143

I could never ssh into the server

In logs I could read:
Welcome to your new installation of openSUSE Leap 42.3 Beta!
Please configure a few basic system settings:

I've no idea how this is supposed to work with openstack but the fact that systemd-firstboot is started instead of cloud-init doesn't mean that systemd-firstboot has an issue.

Chenzi what's your rational here ?

I agree, I don't think it is a systemd issue
rather an issue with the kiwi definition

Comment 3 Marcus Schaefer 2017-06-27 09:19:13 UTC

afaik the JeOS team intentionally uses systemd-firstboot. The use of cloud-init would require the presence of a cloud.cfg file and the service activation as part of the image description.

But this is in the hands of the JeOS team

@Anja could you have a look on the openstack description and check why things are configured as they are. For openstack use cloud-init makes a lot sense, otherwise one would need to implement their own way of accessing the cloud provider services supported by cloud-init

Comment 4 Paul Gonin 2017-06-27 09:28:39 UTC

on LSE JeOS images for OpenStack cloud-init is used instead of systemd-firstboot (because there is usually no console access to cloud servers)

Comment 5 Guilherme Moro 2017-07-06 17:43:57 UTC

This is a known bug that is fixed in the SLE version of the system, the merge of the internal version of the kiwi templates to leap is coming soon, will fix a lot of problems.
Thanks for the report.

I merged the templates from SLE again. should be fixed, please verify.
