Package: cloud-init
Version: 22.4.2-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: em...@cs-ware.de
Dear Maintainer,
starting with the shipped version in Debian 12 the write_files feature with
defer option does not work any more.
Example:
#cloud-config
locale: de_DE.UTF-8
timezone: Europe/Berlin
package_update: true # Implied with `package_upgrade: true`
package_upgrade: true
packages:
['joe','mariadb-server','aptitude','psmisc','bzip2','fail2ban','postfix','apticron','nagios-nrpe-server','monitoring-plugins','libmariadb3','borgbackup','logwatch']
write_files:
- content: |
[mysqldump]
max_allowed_packet = 60M
path: /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/51-dump.cnf
defer: true
The file /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/51-dump.cnf is not created any more
(compared to Debian 11; 20.4.1-2+deb11) by cloud-init. Nothing can be seen in
the logs.
This significantly limits how cloud-init can be used to set up new machines.
Providing an updated version as backport etc. does not help as cloud-init is
particularly used to set up a machine from a plain base image. It would be
important to get a fix in the next point release.

Dear maintainer,
this issue can be closed as it is not an issue in cloud-init or the
Debian package.
Hetzner pointed me here to report the bug. After I created the bug and
the initial conversation here, I sent them the link, they could
reproduce the issue, and finally fixed it (in
/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90-hetznercloud.cfg they overwrote
"cloud_final_modules" and there "write-files-deferred" was missing).
Best,
Sven
