Hello. Please explain me how can I make post-installation customisation for my Esxi image? I know that I need to use Shell, Python or Perl scripts. But where I should put them and which names they should have to? I want them to be started automatically at the end of the deploiment process.
There are two ways to do this.
- You can add your script to the
%firstboot
section of KS.CFG in packer-maas. I believe you can also add an additional %firstboot section with a different interpreter. This will embed your script in the image you upload to MAAS. - You can add your script as user-data when you deploy VMware ESXi. VMWare ESXi doesn’t support cloud-init scripts but shell, Python, and Perl scripts should work.
@kiruka4, how many ESXi images are you deploying at once?
