How do I set a custom password with Cloud-init on Ubuntu 20.04?

Asked 2020-May-18 at 11:09

Recently I've gotten Cloud-Init to work by mounting my config in an image. This is all fine, it works. If I break the config, it tells me. What it doesn't tell me is why I'm not allowed to log on.

What I've tried is creating my own password using echo possible | mkpasswd -m sha-512 -s and by copying the example found on the quickstart page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/QuickStart

Neither work. I've tried setting a custom username too. Doesn't change anything. The default ubuntu:ubuntu is also unavailable. Neither is ubuntu and blank.

I'm facing the very same issue. By using the shell during the installation process, I see that no users are created, hence we cannot log in after the reboot. I don't know why, either a bug in subiquity or a lack of documentation about how to use it properly. Neverteless, I was able to create an user using this trick in my autoinstall file:

You have to symlink all the applets you want, e.g. ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/mount. See USAGE in the busybox docs:

USAGE
BusyBox is a multi-call binary. A multi-call binary is an executable program that performs the same job as more than one utility program. That means there is just a single BusyBox binary, but that single binary acts like a large number of utilities. This allows BusyBox to be smaller since all the built-in utility programs (we call them applets) can share code for many common operations.

You can also invoke BusyBox by issuing a command as an argument on the command line. For example, entering

group_vars rely on file/directory name – it should correspond to specific group name.

In you case windows.yml is applied to group named windows, but vault would have been applied to group named vault.

To overcome your issue, create directory named windows and place your files there (every file under windows directory will be applied to hosts in windows group in alphabetical order):

I tried hashing my password with various method but I still couldn't ssh to my remote VMs

And for a good reason — to connect to a remote machine with an SSH protocol with password authentication you must provide a password, not a password hash.

In password authentication users provide passwords and systems process them. As one of security measures, systems store password hashes instead of passwords, so that in case of a breach, the passwords themselves do not get compromised.

If for some reason a system would allow authenticating users using a hash rather then password, it would be a huge security flaw (equal to storing passwords in clear).

If you really need to use password authentication, then Ansible Vault provides a way to protect the passwords. Otherwise use a public key authentication.
