Description

Motivation

#40670 showed that typing in the bootloader screen can impede the robustness. Using a "info-file" might be more robust.

Further information

Syntax of info file:

  • Each parameter goes in one line.
  • Key and value are separated by colon plus white space ': '.

Sample:

ssh: 1
sshpassword: nots3cr3t

Usage from bootloader

info=http://$WORKER_IP/files/info
