I am trying to replace Networkd renderer with NetworkManager to meet a requirement we have.
But the node fails to communicate back to maas .
cloud-init → netplan → Networkd I am just replacing the renderer to cloud-init → netplan → NetworkManager .
The image I am using it custom ubuntu 24.04 created by packer-maas there is where I switch the renderer.
if anyone has gone this road before kindly share the steps with me.
Thank you in advanced.
I don’t recall that this has been tried. The thing reaching out to MAAS and telling it that the node is ready is cloud-init, so it could either be a misconfiguration of the network (NetworkManager did not do the right thing and the node ended up without/wrong network) or netplan did not talk back to cloud-init properly when it’s using NetworkManager.
Please keep us updated if you’re having any progress on this and feel free to share the packer template if you can.
Thank you for your response . I haven’t had the time to play with this yet but when I do I’ll update the thread .
