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:

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:

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:

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.

...

Use the pre-configured cloud-init ISO

The cloud init ISO provided sets the cloudrouter account's password to "CloudRouter".

Please note: This ISO is provided for testing use only and should not be used in production.
