Re: vmd + httpd + meta-data

[noah pugsley]

On the Github page, there is a typo in the cloudstack link.

It is "
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/latest/virtual%5C_machines.html#user-data-and-meta-data;
but should be "
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration/en/latest/virtual_machines.html#user-data-and-meta-data;.
It's correct in the man page...

But I forgot to mention:

I got the all of it from https://learnbchs.org/

"BCHS (pronounced beaches) is for real development. It's a
hipster-free, open source software stack for web applications. To
prepare a BCHS environment, install OpenBSD. Then get started."

...

"Is BCHS a joke? No. PHP is a joke. node.js is a joke. Software
development is full of jokes. This is not one of them."

I fully agree with this except of the "hipster-free" part: writing web
apps in C is cool and totally "retro".

OK, I was trying all day yesterday to find a good answer - maybe
another joke - but I couldn't make one up.  Kudos, Kristaps.

Have you thought of writing this in a secure language like Rust or
Swift?  Writing cgi stuff in C seems just asking for trouble.

vmd + httpd + meta-data

[Reyk Floeter]

Hi,

I wrote this little tool for vmd that is not intended for the tree,
but will eventually go into ports (it uses kcgi which is not in base).

Summary: It allows to configure VMs on vmd in a cloud-init compatible
way.  I basically use it to test images that go out into the "real
public cloud" later, but it is also useful for vmd VMs in general.

I'd welcome feedback on code and manpage.

https://github.com/reyk/meta-data
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reyk/meta-data/master/meta-data.8

Please note that the find_vm() logic will be changed (not doing it on
the bridge interface anymore) once I got the chance to add another
imsg to query vmd over its socket directly.  I first have to finish
some other pending vmd diffs for it ...
