Hey, Just wanted to let people know that thanks to Dimitri's help, we now have systemd in the cloud images. It is inert by default, but we've set up a way that you can launch an instance to boot with systemd. By feeding the instance some user-data, cloud-init will boot up to its early stages, see the specified user-data and then set systemd up and reboot into it.
Specify user-data as you would elsehwere (cloud-localds, user-data to cloud provider or 'lxc-create -t ubuntu -- --userdata'). The following should do the trick: #cloud-config init_switch: target: systemd reboot: true # 'target' can be 'systemd' or 'upstart'. Best effort is made, but its # possible this system will break, and probably won't interact well with any # other mechanism you've used to switch the init system. # # 'reboot': [default=true]. # true: reboot if a change was made. # false: do not reboot. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
