postmodernI seem to have hit some kind of weird bug with Ubuntu's <code>autoinstall.yaml</code> and Ubuntu Server 24.04. It refuses to create the user for <code>identity:</code>. I have to then define a legacy cloud-init <code>user-data:</code> hash under <code>autoinstall:</code>, except it refuses the set the password and instead leaves the user locked with a <code>!</code> in <code>/etc/shadow</code>. I've tried <code>lock-passwd: false</code>, <code>lock_passwd: false</code>, and <code>lock_passwd: False</code> to no avail.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ubuntu</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cloudinit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cloudinit</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cloud_init" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cloud_init</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/autoinstall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#autoinstall</a>
