Would it be possible to move package installation into a cloud- init-*.service that is "Type=idle", i. e. runs after booting is complete? This would avoid all these corner cases and breakage when trying to install/start things while booting is not complete yet.
** Description changed: in cloud-init users can install packages via cloud-config: #cloud-config packages: [apache2] Due to some intricacies of systemd and service installation that doesn't work all that well. We fixed the issue for simple services that do not have any dependencies on other services, or at least don't check those dependencies well under bug 1575572. We'd like to have a way to fully support this in cloud-init. - Related bugs: - * bug 1575572: apache2 fails to start if installed via cloud config (on Xenial) + * bug 1575572: apache2 fails to start if installed via cloud config (on Xenial) + * bug 1611973: postgresql@9.5-main service not started if postgres installed via cloud-init -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576692 Title: fully support package installation in systemd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1576692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
