This is a copy of an existing bug report, except the patch is created from the latest master and by myself who has signed the Canonical agreement.
Taken from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1555605
I needed to patch a few places in distros/arch.py to get cloud-init to work on Arch. This is with an OpenNebula-based cloud, but that shouldn't matter. In /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg I obviously used "arch" for system_info -> distro.
I checked against current trunk version of distros/arch.py. There's 3 issues in arch.py that this patch fixes (in order of appearance in the patch):
1. The loopback device is returned as an entry by net_util.translate_network(), leading to it gettingprocessed to configure settings like IP address, netmask, etc, but these aren't available and leads to an exception. I simply removed the "lo" entry from the dictionary.
2. The netctl command expects its profile files to be named /etc/netctl/<iface>. The code in arch.py leaves out the last separator, leading to files like /etc/netctleth0, which doesn't work
3. The function convert_resolv_conf() can't possibly work, as it tries to iterate over the "list" type instead of the "settings" list.
Hi,
I'd put a bit of work into the arch code (discussion that lead to it at [1]).
See my branch [2] which I'm pretty sure fixes '2' and '3' above, and adds some unit tests that can be extended to fix and validate '1'.
I can add the change for '1' , and submit a merge proposal if you (Rich) will review and validate.
