Please refer to the official documentation for a general explanation.
In Arch Linux, cloud-init 19.1 tries network configuration with netctl. However, this does not work well because it has a bug. As a workaround, the following example shows how to use systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved with bootcmd
module instead of using normal network configuration.
#cloud-config
...
bootcmd:
- |
cat << EOF > /etc/systemd/network/ethernet.network
[Match]
Name=eth0
[Network]
DHCP=yes
EOF
...
The build process and E2E tests (using QEMU) are run entirely on the Docker container. Therefore, it can be easily integrated with modern CI tools.
- Bash
- Docker
- Docker Compose
- GNU Make
- KVM enabled Linux (optional but strongly recommended)
The following command generates the ISO image at dist/archlinux-cloud-YYYY.mm.dd-x86_64.iso
then run all E2E tests.
$ make
To delete all generated files, run the following command.
$ make clean
