PyPI version PyPI - Python Version PyPI - License

mkciud

This utility constructs cloud-init user-data files.

This package provides both a command-line utility and a module for Python 3.

Command-Line

mkciud [ [type-specifier:]filename ]+
python -m mkciud [ [type-specifier:]filename ]+
type-specifiers:
    (default), (empty string), auto           autodetect
    cb, cloud-boothook                        cloud-boothook
    cc, cloud-config                          cloud-config
    ca, cloud-config-archive                  cloud-config-archive
    ph, part-handler                          part-handler
    uj, upstart-job                           upstart-job
    io, include-once, x-include-once-url      x-include-once-url
    in, include, x-include-url                x-include-url
    sh, shellscript, x-shellscript            x-shellscript

Outputs user-data to stdout. This will be binary data, so redirect to a file.

Module

import mkciud

userdata = mkciud.UserData()
for message_body, message_subtype in message_bodies_and_subtypes:
	userdata.add(message_body, message_subtype)
userdata.export(sys.stdout.buffer)

message_subtype is the full MIME subtype string for the file, such as x-shellscript or cloud-config. If message_subtype is omitted or None, it will attempt to autodetect the type.

Notes

Type autodetection is done by looking for a recognized specifier in the first line of the file, such as #!/bin/bash or #cloud-config.
