Usage

Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure providers do not handle user data parameters.

Each Cloud provider has its own way to handle user data parameters. Please follow these tutorials to learn how to use them:

The parameters can be set when creating the instance, in the Advanced details section at step 3 (Configure Instance):

Instance creation

Or when an existing instance is stopped, in Actions > Instance Settings > Edit user data:

Instance settings

You can then copy and paste your code, or import a file containing the code in JSON format.

The parameters can only be set from an existing instance when it is stopped:

  1. From the Allyun console, go to Elasctic Compute Service > Instances & Images > Instances
  2. Click on a stopped instance to access its details:

    Instance details

  3. Click on All Operations and select Set user data:

    Set user data

  4. Copy and paste your JSON code:

    Copy & paste

  5. Click Ok to apply the parameters.

The parameters can be set when creating the instance, in the Management > Metadata section:

  1. Click ADD ITEM

    Instance creation

  2. In the Key field, input the string genymotionConfig

  3. In the Value field, copy and paste your JSON code:

    Instance creation 2

  4. Create your instance.

Your parameters will be displayed in the VM instance details, in the Custom metadata section:

Custom  metadata

It is also possible to set the parameters in an existing instance when it is stopped:

  1. In VM instance details, click EDIT
  2. In Custom metadata, click Add item

    Add user data

  3. Set the Key to genymotionConfig and copy and paste your JSON code in the Value field:
