Hi Hamza,
thank you for your answere. I learnd much about the cloud-init in this process.
I found now a way to config this without maipulating the cloud.cfg on the
intance directly. I start the new instance from the copied snapshot with
user-data I can inject over the "configurations" tab of a new openstack
instance. I use the following config for this:
#cloud-config
password: <password_default_user>
chpasswd: { expire: False }
ssh_pwauth: True
preserve_hostname: True
I think I can do some more options which may be useful, but this works fine for
me by now :-)
Kind regards,
Michael
