Cloud-init runs every time when the droplet is booted. I want to change config between restarts. Where can I find the cloud config file? I am supplying it in DO console while creating a droplet. But I need to know where it is located in the machine so that I can modify.
I am using Ubuntu.
Thanks.
If you specified Cloud-init as User data on Droplet creation, there is no way to change it. Even on Droplet rebuild it will persist same. You will have to destroy Droplet to use another script.
If you’re specifying it on some other way, I’m not sure, as I used it only as user data on Droplet creation
So I’m guessing there also isn’t a way to change the userdata when rebuilding a droplet.
(So that I don’t have to destroy a droplet and make a new one, every time I want to test a cloudconfig
No, there isn’t way to change user data on rebuild.
You will have to destroy it and create new one.
If you want to suggest this as idea, you can head to DigitalOcean UserVoice.
