GitHub user Sparc0 closed a discussion: Cloud-init using Foreman as
meta-data/user-data provider
I am trying to get cloud-init to work for Rocky and Ubuntu templates.
I am using L2 network and i provide my instances with a DHCP IP from a external
DHCP server.
This makes the default cloud-init config to detect my cloudstack datasource and
trying to connect to my router in this case a juniper.

`
I have a foreman instance that can provide my instances with meta-data and
user-data by creating this file in my templates
```
cat /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/10_foreman.cfg
datasource_list: [NoCloud]
datasource:
NoCloud:
seedfrom: http://foremanserver/userdata/
```
I would like to avoid having to change and rebuild the base templates and keep
them as default they come.
I read that its possible to provide above nocloud config to QEMU directly and
wonder if thats something that could be done in cloudstack?
