Hi,

I'm new to using Cloudbase-Init (version: 1.1.2) with Windows Server 2019 (which is an openstack image). And what i should orchestrate with cloudbase-init is only to run some local scripts that are included locally in the image, and I should configure cloudbase-init to run all my local scripts one by one.

But i still did not find the right configuration!

According to the documentation, i saw that in my uses case i should use EmptyMetadataService while i'm going to use only LocalScriptsPlugin.

this is what i have as the cloudbase-init.conf config file:

[DEFAULT]

username=Admin

groups=Administrators

injectuserpassword=true

configdriveraw_hhd=true

configdrivecdrom=true

configdrivevfat=true

bsdtar_path=C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\bin\bsdtar.exe

mtools_path=C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\bin\

verbose=true

debug=true

logdir=C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\log\

logfile=cloudbase-init.log

defaultloglevels=comtypes=INFO,suds=INFO,iso8601=WARN,requests=WARN

loggingserialport_settings=

mtuusedhcp_config=true

ntpusedhcp_config=true

localscriptspath=C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\LocalScripts\

checklatestversion=true

metadata_services=

plugins=cloudbaseinit.plugins.common.localscripts.LocalScriptsPlugin

...

And like a test, i used my test.ps1 script in C: \ Program Files \ Cloudbase Solutions \ Cloudbase-Init \ LocalScripts \:

my test.ps1 script :

#ps1_sysnative

Start-Transcript -path C:\cloudbase-init-firstboot.log -Append -force

write-output "test cloudbase-init local script"

stop-transcript

exit 1001

...

and after restarting the cloudbase-init service it looks like my test.ps1 script was not executed.

Here is what i get in my cloudbase-init log file after reboot:
