cloudinit not reading user-data with NoCloud datasource

[abhayr]

Hello

I have FreeBSD 14.2 setup with py311-cloud-init-24.1.4_2 package. I have enabled cloudinit_enable="YES" in rc.conf. All cloudinit config files are located in /usr/local/etc/cloud/ and I have added an new config file under /usr/local/etc/cloud.cfg.d/00_nocloud.cfg

datasource_list: ["NoCloud","None"]
datasource:
  NoCloud:
  seedfrom: file:///root/cloud/
network:
  config: disabled
  timeout: 1

Now, I have created a user-data file under /root/cloud/ with following content

#cloud-config
# run an arbitrary command very early on
bootcmd:
  - echo bootcmd | tee -a /root/cloud/cloudinit_was_here
# touch arbitrary files very early on, note YAML list for multiple files
write_files:
- content: |
    writefiles
  path: /root/cloud/cloudinit_was_here
  append: true
- content: |
    writefiles
  path: /root/cloud/writefiles_was_here
  append: true
# run an arbitrary command later on
runcmd:
  - echo runcmd | tee -a /root/cloud/cloudinit_was_here

I have cleared /var/run/cloud-init directory and started the cloud-init service

service cloudinit start
cloud-init --debug init --local
cloud-init --debug init
cloud-init  --debug modules --mode config
cloud-init modules --mode final

However nothing happened. I was expected 2 files to be created in /root/cloud folder.

Am I missing anything?

As suggested over email, log a bug for this please at https://bugs.freebsd.org/ I'd guess that https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/issues/4481 has returned.
