image-deploy/additional-tarballs

The cloud init data to send machine after first boot.

A list of additional tarballs to install into the image during deployment time. This Param is an array of objects that define what tarballs to inject in to the final deployed image. This can be used to add configuration data, content, scripts, etc. inside the deployed system.

You can control the order in which multiple tarball files will be unrolled by setting the index value in a numerical order.

Example:

  • This example serves the my-tarball.tar file from the DRP HTTP Files space; which will then be un-tarred in the target Machine filesystem.
[
  {
    "drpserved": true,
    "format": "tar",
    "index": 1,
    "uri": "files/my-tarball.tar"
  }
]

The values are defined as follows:

  • drpserved: will automatically fill in the full HTTP URI path to the DRP Files server if set to true. Do not specify a leading forward slash (/). If false, specify a full HTTP URI to the tarball file artifact.
  • format: a Curtin file format type (eg tar, or tgz). See Sources in note below.
  • uri: the URI of the resources, either a full HTTP URI path if drpserved is false, or a relative URI path with no leading forward slash, on the DRP HTTP Files server.
  • index: a unique numerical value to define the order in which the tarballs should be unrolled, as files in subsequent tarballs may potentially overwrite files in earlier tarballs.
