# Customize CoreOS with Cloud-Config
|
|
|
|
CoreOS allows you to configure machine parameters, launch systemd units on startup and more. Only a subset of [cloud-config functionality][cloud-config] is implemented. A set of custom parameters were added to the cloud-config format that are specific to CoreOS.
|
|
|
|
[cloud-config]: http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/format.html#cloud-config-data
|
|
|
|
## Supported cloud-config Parameters
|
|
|
|
### ssh_authorized_keys
|
|
|
|
Provided public SSH keys will be authorized for the `core` user.
|
|
|
|
The keys will be named "coreos-cloudinit" by default.
|
|
Override this with the `--ssh-key-name` flag when calling `coreos-cloudinit`.
|
|
|
|
#### users
|
|
|
|
Add or modify users with the `users` directive by providing a list of user objects, each consisting of the following fields.
|
|
Each field is optional and of type string unless otherwise noted.
|
|
All but the `passwd` and `ssh-authorized-keys` fields will be ignored if the user already exists.
|
|
|
|
- **name**: Required. Login name of user
|
|
- **gecos**: GECOS comment of user
|
|
- **passwd**: Hash of the password to use for this user
|
|
- **homedir**: User's home directory. Defaults to /home/<name>
|
|
- **no-create-home**: Boolean. Skip home directory createion.
|
|
- **primary-group**: Default group for the user. Defaults to a new group created named after the user.
|
|
- **groups**: Add user to these additional groups
|
|
- **no-user-group**: Boolean. Skip default group creation.
|
|
- **ssh-authorized-keys**: List of public SSH keys to authorize for this user
|
|
- **system**: Create the user as a system user. No home directory will be created.
|
|
- **no-log-init**: Boolean. Skip initialization of lastlog and faillog databases.
|
|
|
|
The following fields are not yet implemented:
|
|
|
|
- **inactive**: Deactivate the user upon creation
|
|
- **lock-passwd**: Boolean. Disable password login for user
|
|
- **sudo**: Entry to add to /etc/sudoers for user. By default, no sudo access is authorized.
|
|
- **selinux-user**: Corresponding SELinux user
|
|
- **ssh-import-id**: Import SSH keys by ID from Launchpad.
|
|
|
|
##### Generating a password hash
|
|
|
|
You can generate a safe hash via:
|
|
|
|
mkpasswd --method=SHA-512 --rounds=4096
|
|
|
|
Using a higher number of rounds will help create more secure passwords, but given enough time, password hashes can be reversed.
|
|
|
|
## Custom cloud-config Parameters
|
|
|
|
### coreos.etcd.discovery_url
|
|
|
|
The value of `coreos.etcd.discovery_url` will be used to discover the instance's etcd peers using the [etcd discovery protocol][disco-proto]. Usage of the [public discovery service][disco-service] is encouraged.
|
|
|
|
[disco-proto]: https://github.com/coreos/etcd/blob/master/Documentation/discovery-protocol.md
|
|
[disco-service]: http://discovery.etcd.io
|
|
|
|
### coreos.units
|
|
|
|
Arbitrary systemd units may be provided in the `coreos.units` attribute.
|
|
`coreos.units` is a list of objects with the following fields:
|
|
|
|
- **name**: string representing unit's name
|
|
- **runtime**: boolean indicating whether or not to persist the unit across reboots. This is analagous to the `--runtime` flag to `systemd enable`.
|
|
- **content**: plaintext string representing entire unit file
|
|
|
|
See docker example below.
|
|
|
|
## user-data Script
|
|
|
|
Simply set your user-data to a script where the first line is a shebang:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
echo 'Hello, world!'
|
|
```
