custom user-data for automated setup

Post by w32-blaster » Mon Sep 07, 2015 7:52 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how can I automatically setup the openvpn access server in aws. There are a couple of documentation where I learned I can use the user-data to pass some configs to the installer. This works fine but I would additionally add some additional scripts to run in the bootstrap, to create a couple of new users, groups.

Does somebody know any method for this?

Additionally wondering what is the init script started what makes the bootstrap from the specified parameters?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards

Unfortunately the only solution was to:
1. Create a new custom AMI from the original
2. Use the already prepared AMI without our custom scripts.

This is really annoying but this was the only to workaround the problem.
