Now that we have a qcow2 version available how would that change the installation process?
Doesn't seem to change much.
I found using the qcow2 version I had to either:
- Use cloud init, as mentioned above.
For me using libvrt on ubuntu, I followed the following (adding user:admin):
https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/run_cloud_init_locally.html#libvirt
- Or in boot up/reboot, catch console, start in "recovery" mode, which puts you in root.
Use 'passwd admin' to change the admin password.
Reboot and proceed.
Obviously less ideal in most cases than using the cloud init method.
