Is it possible to build an all-snap image with an customized OS snap?

Hi Mark,

Cloud-init sounds good fit for the requirement. Let me have a try first.
Thanks a lot for your information!

Ah. It sounds like you want cloud-init, which runs on first boot and looks
for guidance ("from the cloud" but which can also be a USB stick etc) on
things like network configuration, user creation etc. We are busy
integrating cloud-init so we can great Ubuntu Core images on the various
public clouds, but the same mechanism would be useful in a device context.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your suggestion! My requirement is to make console-conf execute
automatically without user's evolvement. It can configure the network
interfaces with default settings. After that users can use other interfaces
(like web portal through LAN) to further configure the device (for example,
upload public keys, config WAN interface, etc.). Is it possible to
implement such kind of feature with gadget snap?

Thanks!
