[pve-devel] RFC: qemu-server : add cloudinit support

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

Also, 

cloud-init feature is only usefull when creating a new vm,

so cloning a clean template with cloud-init support.


Maybe we could simply pass options to qm clone .... -nameserver -searchdoman -eth0 ipaddress gateway ....

start the vm after cloning, and cloud-init shutdown it when finished.



(We could also add some kind of import template like for container, they are a lot of cloud-init templates available on the net)

I forgot to say that I shutdown the vm (with cloudinit) at the end of the setup, not reboot. 
That's why I setup in pending removal ide3.

No, but I just want to clean remove the cdrom config. 
I setup it as ide3. (in case if use have already a cdrom is default ide2). 


It could be possible to eject cd from guest in cloudinit config, but currently we can't catch qemu events.

And is that reboot necessary? Its a bit clumsy, because the boot-loader 
is presented 2 times to the user.
