I’m trying to add a repo source to my cloud init with the following:
apt:
preserve_sources_list: true
sources:
grafana.list:
source: "deb https://apt.grafana.com stable main"
key: "https://apt.grafana.com/gpg.key"
It doesn’t seem to have an effect. Does anyone know if DO support this type of configuration in cloud-init?

Hi there,
I think that DigitalOcean should support cloud-init with Droplet creation, and adding external repositories should work.
I think that you need to make sure your cloud-init script includes an apt_update step after adding the source, eg:
apt:
preserve_sources_list: true
sources:
grafana:
source: "deb https://apt.grafana.com stable main"
key: "https://apt.grafana.com/gpg.key"
package_update: true
packages:
- grafana
This uses package_update: true to make sure apt is updated after adding the source.
If it still doesn’t work, you can add a runcmd section as a fallback:
runcmd:
- wget -q -O - https://apt.grafana.com/gpg.key | apt-key add -
- echo "deb https://apt.grafana.com stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana.list
- apt-get update
- apt-get install -y grafana
