While one could argue that cloud images without openssh-server might have limited utility, there are use cases for slim apps/micro-services that may not rely on this stack and cloud-init should probably cope better in the face of this missing dependency. While working this issue, let's add a Suggests: openssh-server to debian/control for Deb-based systems. --- Steps to reproduce problem cat > ssh_needed.yaml << EOF #cloud-config ssh_pwauth: true EOF lxc launch ubuntu-daily:focal f1 -c user.user-data="$(cat ssh_needed.yaml)" lxc exec f1 -- cloud-init status --wait lxc exec f1 apt remove opensssh-server # reset PasswordAuthentication off again so that cloud-init wants to reset ssh server lxc exec f1 -- sed -i 's/PasswordAuthentication yes/PasswordAuthentication no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config # force clean reboot so cloud-init reruns lxc exec f1 -- cloud-init clean --logs --reboot lxc exec f1 -- cloud-init status --wait --long To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1969526/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : yahoo-eng-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
