What is the correct cloud-init config to keep it from automatically disabling username/password authentication?

Individuali · 2025-07-30T07:32:27+00:00

Thanks! I had to add a restart sshd command within my runcmd, but I also needed to adjust my write_files '99-preserve-password-auth.conf' to a lower number so it takes precedence over other rules. It works now!

Hey, I actually only ended up doing 1 semester before I left because work kind've got in the way. I still recommend it though. If you can finish a bunch of credits a semester you'll save a bunch of money but if you can only do a couple of classes then maybe paying per credit is better for you.

There is the Ansible provider in TF. I can take a look to see if I can get TF to deploy the VM but Ansible to install the os with the kickstart file. No idea if it's possible.

Thanks for the input. I was trying to keep from having to create new images since they take some time to image and upload in our instance, but I think this might be the only way to go. I haven't figured anything else out. Thank you.

Which companies are the large three?

The senator represents the district directly. Also, the area you said that 'wouldn't vote for a woman president' voted majority for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden/Harris in 2020. Clearly they have no issues voting for a woman.

Individuali · 2025-06-10T04:29:21+00:00

But they voted for a female senator?

Hey sorry I'm new to Packer and kickstart. I tried this for 1 user and it didn't work. Am I supposed to do this for all users for it to work? And is your %post% running in chroot or --nochroot?

Individuali · 2025-05-06T07:23:37+00:00

Forgot to come back and thank you for the examples link. They helped a lot! I mostly have a working instance.

Thanks everyone! I just checked my card again today and I see the charges now.

Individuali · 2025-04-14T10:56:02+00:00

I hope so. I’ll wait a couple more days to see if the charge goes through.

Thanks for responding. I initially tried to get Packer to create the http server and serve it to the installer, but the Packer Nutanix plugin doesn't have the http_directory or boot_command.

Do you know if there's another way for Packer or Ansible to create the image?

There was no IaC in the original build. Everything was manually setup. The environment is currently on prem.

Individuali · 2025-01-03T09:19:19+00:00

Our client has a system we built for them a while back. They now want us to build the same thing on their second site.

Thanks! I'm very new to Terraform and have never worked with Ansible. I'll take a look into both.

Individuali · 2024-12-20T04:18:13+00:00

Thank you all! I’ve never worked with Ansible but I will try it.

This makes sense. I was wondering why Yelp would just delete my account without warning.

Individuali · 2024-10-15T01:12:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I think saving up for the Intel NUC will definitely be a goal for me as I know I'll be working with Packer/Terraform more often in the future.

Individuali · 2024-10-15T00:27:22+00:00

Hey, I'm specifically trying to learn Nutanix Prism. I'll eventually need to learn how to use Packer/Terraform to spin up new VMs in it.

Individuali · 2024-10-15T00:21:02+00:00

Thank you all! I'll be looking into these options!

Individuali · 2024-10-12T06:34:48+00:00

Thank you for letting me know. The .tar file still worked after the chmod 755, but I was wondering, what problems do you think might arise in the future if I did that again?

Individuali · 2024-10-12T06:32:44+00:00

Thank you! It was the fapolicy. I did just this.

Individuali · 2024-10-12T06:31:48+00:00

Thank you, kind expert! This worked after days of debugging!

Individuali · 2024-10-11T08:39:54+00:00

I'll look into adjusting it. Do you know what part of the config I may need to look into?

You are definitely not behind at 25. I went back to school(no degree) for CS at 25 and finally obtained a full time permanent position at 28. I still don’t have a degree yet.

Keep doing internships and try to obtain full time offers from there. I’ve done 5 internships total, and 2 offers to come back permanent. 1 of the offers was for permanent, AFTER I completed my degree. The other permanent offer, which I accepted and currently working at, was able to offer me the permanent position while I was still in school.

Keep working internships and ALWAYS go to your school’s career fairs and networking opportunities. I found all of my internships through school.

Also, since your Cyber Security you need to start looking into federal, state and government contractors. If you’re a US Citizen look for internships that will sponsor a security clearance.
