Dear Brian,
Good you found ganeti-os-nocloud useful.
A colleague of mine made some changes to the create script to support
Rocky 9 by using a seed image (which we unfortunately haven't committed
back yet). It's not a perfect solution, since it means doing
gnt-instance copyfile on a generated ISO image and passing an argument
to attach it on the first boot, which defies the original design of
automating the VM creation.
From your README and stripped-down create-script, I can see your
approach is to externalize the seeding, which seems reasonable given
this limitation and the fact that the generated seed image may not suit
everybody.
Best regards,
Petter
