Hi Jason, I was able to use Fedora 40 cloud images from this link: https://fedoraproject.org/cloud/download -- though I haven't tested 41/42 release. I think the login user is either fedora or cloud-user and it worked for me on 4.20.x by selecting the right ssh-public keys in cloudstack where I could see (if I recall correctly) cloud-init kicking correctly.
Sometimes when I've issues with vendor provided generic cloud images, I would also use libguestfs-tools to rewrite the /etc/passwd or shadow file so I could hack my way into the root user & debug the issue (sometimes it could be cloud-init config or might be the distro/vm not able to detect it's running on cloudstack). Regards. ________________________________ From: Jason Hollis <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2025 21:57 To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Fedora Cloud Image issues Has anyone successfully ran and connected to a Fedora 41 or 42 Cloud image on Cloudstack? Current Cloudstack environment testing is: 4.19.3.0 I'm able to see the login screen in the console of Cloudstack UI but no login is working and It doesn't appear to be listening on port 22 for SSH. I know I have my firewall/portforwards setup correctly, but just get a connection refused. Thanks, Jason
