Asked by Nicola Delle Foglie
Hello guys, I’m currently trying to use this value for user_data:
#cloud-config
runcmd:
- curl https://mysupercooldomain.tld/do.sh | sh
The content of do.sh is:
#!/bin/bash
echo "doing" > status
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install mailutils postfix curl wget file bzip2 gzip unzip bsdmainutils python util-linux ca-certificates tmux lib32gcc1 libstdc++6 libstdc++6:i386
adduser --disabled-password --gecos "Game Server" gameserver
su - gameserver
wget https://mysupercooldomain.tld/gameserver
chmod +x gameserver
./gameserver install

Hi @NicolaDL
Try encapsulating it in single quotes
', since it will then write the string to a temporary file and execute that file withsh. And since it’s a bash script, you can parse it directly to bash instead of sh.
