Startup script

P2P Cloud allows clients to configure their server instance by injecting custom scripts that will be initialized once the server boots after encrypting.

Things To Know

The script will be executed only once on the first boot of the VM. It will be run as the root user from the “/” directory. Remember, by default you will SSH into the VM as the cloud user.

We also recommend either creating a new user or use the built-in user cloud and navigating to its home directory.

#!/bin/bash
  
USER_HOME=/home/cloud

# Change the current working directory to the user's home directory
cd $USER_HOME

# ...

When you get directed to the WebSSH page for your VM, the script might still be running. Be aware of this when interacting with the VM, especially if you expect the script to complete its tasks.

Upon boot, the user-startup script will be placed in the following path:

1

/opt/p2pcloud/user_startup.sh

Script Log

The output of the script will be logged to the following file:

1

/opt/p2pcloud/user_startup.log

You can check this log file to monitor the progress and troubleshoot any issues with the script.

1

cat /opt/p2pcloud/user_startup.log

How to Insert Script

Inserting a script is easy. All you need to do is click on the Inject startup bash script box and paste the bash script in the text box(see below).

Note: Be sure to delete the placeholder contents in the box before entering in custom script

Once you’re done, click on Create VM and launch your server.
