That's very likely, thanks for hunting our typos, and sorry 😨
No worries at all.
I started playing with XCP-ng and I stumbled across this article which I find very useful to get started.
The late_command no longer works, the URI gives a 404. Here is a patch which uses a repo instead. This probably best handled in a provisioner section rather than the pre-seed but regardless this is what I got working for me:
preeseed.cfg:
# install tools + fix cloudconfig
d-i preseed/late_command string \
in-target /bin/sh -c "echo 'manage_etc_hosts: true' >> /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg"; \
in-target /bin/sh -c "echo 'deb [trusted=yes] https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/xen-project%252Fxen-guest-agent/packages/generic/deb-amd64/ release/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xen-guest-agent.list"; \
in-target /bin/sh -c "grep -v cdrom /etc/apt/sources.list > /tmp/sources.list && mv /tmp/sources.list /etc/apt/"; \
in-target /bin/sh -c "apt update && apt install xen-guest-agent"
# Final Setup
d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
How could I set a static network for the VM? When I start the creation, the screen shows that the network auto-configuration failed because there is no DHCP server.
In the "preseed.cfg" file I tried to set the following configuration, but it didn't work:
# Network
d-i netcfg/disable_autoconfig boolean true
d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 192.168.1.100
d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0
d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.1.1
d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true
@cairoapcampos try to add this to your preseed :
d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true
d-i netcfg/choose_interface select <auto or interfacename>
Thanks for sharing this.
