I'm trying to set up a Debian VM inside a OpenStack cluster using heat
orchestration.  As far as I understand it, you're supposed to do only the bare
minimum configuration using cloud-init, and do the bulk via something like
puppet, or in my case, ansible.  In that setup os-collect-config is needed to
run as a system service inside the VM to watch for configuration changes
published by heat, download the new configuration, and pass it (via some
indirection) to ansible.

I basically tried to follow this, stripping it down to only support ansible,
and adapting it to Debian:
https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/user-guides/orchestration/bootstrapping-software-config/
Since Debian has a package for os-collect-config, I tried using that rather
than using it from pip[1].

This should actually be useful outside of TripleO, unless I have completely
misunderstood something.


As a side note, the indirection mentioned above seems to be one or more of
os-apply-config (package python-os-apply-config; in stretch, buster and sid)
and os-refresh-config (package python-os-refresh-config; only in buster and
sid).  I did not verify this yet, but those packages are also ancient and
probably suffer from the same problem.


Thanks for looking into this,
regards,
Jö.

[1]: I'd prefer to use the Debian packages, since Debian actually cares about
     the trustworthiness and competence of its package maintainers...
