Hi folks,
the OI cloud image seems to be quite old. And I already had some trouble
updating it (eg. sshd needed special config tweaks to come up again).
After update, the system seems pretty crowded with many duplicate
packages (in different versions -> eg. perl stuff).
For those who just wanna quickly fire up an VM (eg. like in my case
running build jobs), that's pretty unpleasant.
Any chance that image gets rebuilt more frequently ?
What does it take to build it ? (could it be cross compiled, eg. on Linux ?)
Another problem I'm facing in my CI build VM case: I need to be able
to directly ssh into it, w/o prior manual intervention (eg. network
setup, allow pw-less root logins, ...). Any chance we could have
"official" prebuilt images for those cases ?
thx

Hi,
Those are OI specific questions so they are better asked on openindiana
specific lists but I can answer you here.
Yes I can requild the Images this weekend as I have some time for that
on FOSDEM :)
For the second question, we have cloud-init nocloud support which I and
others use to bootstrap networking and ssh for machines. It's a bit
limited beyond that but does the job well enough. After that you can use
Ansible to do the configuration.

Hello All,
Just to update People. I have updated the cloudimages for OI and
polished the downloads page to point to the newest snapshot.
