Hi Alex can you share your auto install file <div>Thanks <div> </div><div>Jerry On Tuesday, January 12, 2021, alex <<a href="mailto:ubuntu@spottedmouse.com">ubuntu@spottedmouse.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I am trying to setup a number of new servers on Ubuntu 20.4 LTS. So far I got the auto-install via PXE working. My plan is to use autoinstall for the basic setup to install the OS, partition table and initial user. Once installed I was hoping to use something like clout-init / nocloud to install the customisation need to security and monitoring. Ideally I was just hoping to connect it to chef using cloud-init. However I have not been able to get cloud-init / nocloud-net datasource working. Tried updating /etc/default/grub with the following GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden GRUB_TIMEOUT=30 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="serial=ds=nocloud-net;seedfrom=<a href="http://192.168" target="_blank">http://192.168</a>. 0.172/ubuntu/config/" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="serial=ds=nocloud-net;seedfrom=<a href="http://192.168.0.172/ub" target="_blank">http://192.168.0.172/ub</a> untu/config/" Any suggestions to get me in the right direction on how to get nocloud-net working? No matter what I try it always reports: root@ubuntu-base:/home/user# cloud-init status --long status: done time: Wed, 06 Jan 2021 09:53:14 +0000 detail: DataSourceNone And the httpd host which provides the configuration files is never accessed.
