Cloud-init is ignored from doctl

Posted on May 11, 2024

Hi, I am creating droplet from doctl command with cloud-init file:

doctl compute droplet create myodds-api221 --size s-1vcpu-1gb --image ubuntu-22-04-x64 --region fra1 --wait --user-data-file cloud-init.yml

I have simple file with:

#cloud-config
package_update: true
package_upgrade: true

It looks like the file is ignored from doctl command, when I create droplet in UI and copy paste cloud-init config in advance settings it works. I tried serveral versions of Ubuntu, renamed file extension to yaml and cfg, but nothing helps. Any idea?

Thank you
