Hi, I have found a leases file BUT it only specifies the IP of the VM itself and not the gateway (which is where DHCP is served)
[root@VM-222c78e8-a8f7-4746-b28b-6f1b66bdf34b NetworkManager]# cat internal-3e6e8f47-404a-46a9-9ad2-1b2a9217384a-ens35.lease # This is private data. Do not parse. ADDRESS=192.168.81.40 this is in the /var/lib/NetworkManager folder if I run the script manually specifying the IP it doesnt change anything Thanks On Thu, 23 Jul 2020 at 10:31, Craig Dunn <sendai...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi Vivek, > > thanks for the response, seems its fallen at the first hurdle the > /var/lib/dhclient folder is empty so, i`ll look into why thats not being > generated. > > I have password enabled set on the template, I thought cloud init and the > script were two different ways of achieving the same thing?
