cloud-init-builder

Build cloud-init.yamls from multiple files

usage

1. create a cloud-init.tmpl.yaml containing #include: <relative-base-dir> lines e.g.

   #cloud-config
   fqdn: host.example.com
   
   write_files:
     #include: write_files/ << THIS IS KEY
   apt:
     sources:
       salt.sources:
         source: "deb https://packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/saltproject-deb stable main"
         key: |

   package_update: true
   package_upgrade: true
   package_reboot_if_required: true
   
   packages:
     - salt-minion
   
   runcmd:
     - salt-call --local state.apply

2. go run main.go <directory where cloud-init.tmpl.yaml lives>

   or

   cloud-init-builder[platform] <directory where cloud-init.tmpl.yaml lives>

   if you built the Go file or downloaded the release

   1. the program goes through all files until the bottom of the specified directory
   2. for each file, it will inlcude the content, keeping the indentation of the comment
   3. send the expanded file to stdout

3. pipe or send the output to an editor or file
