When booting under systemd, you can disable cloud-init completely by either:
- creating a file:
sudo touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled - or adding
cloud-init=disabledto the kernel command line as found in/proc/cmdline
To partially disable some functions, modify: /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg, for example to disable network configuration:
sudo su -
echo "network: {config: disabled}" > /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfgsudo nano /etc/default/grub config
GRUB_TERMINAL="console serial"
sudo update-grub

qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.qcow2
worked just fine.
Thanks.
FYI, following your gist with recent images also works fine.
Just
wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/jammy/current/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk-kvm.img
or
wget https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/bookworm/latest/debian-12-generic-amd64.qcow2
and adapt the file names where needed, and you're good to go;
