FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a freshly provisioned Ubuntu VM for application deployment?▼

To bootstrap an Ubuntu VM for application deployment, the skill automates post-provisioning setup by verifying cloud-init, mounting data volumes, fixing app directory ownership, creating a .env file, and configuring Docker group membership.

What does cloud-init verification do during Ubuntu VM setup?▼

Cloud-init verification during Ubuntu VM setup confirms that the cloud-init process has successfully finished, automatically handling retries if it has not, which ensures the environment is fully initialized before you proceed with application deployment configurations.

Do I need SSH access to set up Docker and mount data volumes on a new VM?▼

Yes, you need SSH access to the VM and an SSH key to execute the bootstrap process, which mounts data volumes and adds your user to the Docker group for container management.

Can I use this VM bootstrap process for OpenStack environments with Cinder volumes?▼

Yes, you can use this VM bootstrap process for OpenStack environments, as it specifically handles Cinder volumes to mount and register persistent data storage required for application deployment.

Why does the VM setup include a smoke test after configuring Docker?▼

The VM setup includes a smoke test after configuring Docker to validate the overall setup readiness by running a basic Docker check, ensuring the environment is fully prepared and functional before you deploy applications.
