Changing userdata in MAAS for customizing the enlisting, commissioning and deploying

[sachidananda sahu]

Hello Andres,
Thanks a lot for informing about the GUI option available to change the
repo. I am able to change the local repo setting, and node was able to
enlist and commission and able to use local repo, but what can i see is
apt-get update was failing as maas gives a sources.list for all compute
provisioned through maas, and our local mirror did not had the complete
sources. (like security , multiverse and all ). Due to this Deploy was
failing after curtin install log, but it was not able to run curtin script.


 It was failing by showing an error i attached as image.[image: Inline
image 1]

And in Gui log it stopped like and failed deployment. [image: Inline image
2]


So is it possible to change the default sources.list which is used by maas
to deploy a node so that compute can use customized sources.list during
enlist, commission and deploy.
