Get a CloudRouter image

STEP 1

Obtain the latest Minimal or Full image from the CloudRouter Downloads. These images are in raw format and are compressed with xz

Download the image:

Code Block
languagebash
curl -o CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz https://repo.cloudrouter.org/3/fedora/23/images/CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz
curl -o CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz.checksum.txt https://repo.cloudrouter.org/3/fedora/23/images/CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz.checksum.txt

Ensure the image's checksum is correct:

Code Block
languagebash
sha256sum CloudRouter-2.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz
60dc3d580c3e70a1cfbb34ed90dccf598574887a97742b4ad7f87fa821c43f91  CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz

cat CloudRouter-2.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz.checksum.txt
60dc3d580c3e70a1cfbb34ed90dccf598574887a97742b4ad7f87fa821c43f91  ./CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz

Un-compress the image:

Code Block
languagebash
xz -d -k CloudRouter-3.0-fedora-minimal.raw.xz

Cloud-init

STEP 2

The CloudRouter image ships without default credentials. The cloudrouter user is provided to manage the system and has sudo access, but no default password is set. The cloudrouter images are configured to load password and/or ssh key data for the cloudrouter user from a metadata ISO image attached to the guest.
