This application publishes an a python flask WSGI app as an nginx unit application into the f5-icontrol-gateway container.
The application takes a typical cloud-init YAML file containing user_data and produces an ISO9660 ISO image suitable for use as a cloud-init ConfigDrive data source. Attach the ISO images as an IDE CDROM device to a VM and cloud-init enabled operating systmes should process the user_data content.
The application supports two API methods:
GET /fig-config-drive-builder
which produces an HTML form suitable for uploading your YAML file from a browser.
POST /fig-config-drive-builder
wher the request body should be your user_data YAML.
The output of the POST API method is a HTTP binary attachment of your ISO image.
curl usage from the CLI for the application running locally:
curl --output configdrive.iso -X POST http://localhost:5000/fig-config-drive-builder -H 'Content-Type: text/x-yaml' --data-binary @userdata.yaml
curl usage from the CLI for the application running in the f5-icontol-gateway:
curl -u 'admin:admin' --output configdrive.iso -X POST https://localhost:8443/fig-config-drive-builder -H 'Content-Type: text/x-yaml' --data-binary @userdata.yaml
The unit_config.conf file provides the needed route and application information for nginx unit to add a URI namespace for your application.
