Summary
This PR introduces two enhancements to the OSDCloudStartnet initialization process:
Post-Network Script Execution
A custom PowerShell script can now be executed after a network connection is established.
OSDCloud\Config\StarNet2
folderOptional Suppression of Module Auto-Update
The automatic update of OSD modules can now be disabled by setting
{ "OSDAutoUpdate": false }
inOSDCloud\Config\Initialize-OSDCloudStartnet.json
.Import-Module -Force
, ensuring consistent behavior in customized environments.Motivation
These changes provide greater control and flexibility during the early stages of OSDCloud initialization, especially in environments where deterministic behavior or offline operation is required.
A typical use case involves hosting pre-validated catalog files of company standard device models on external storage (e.g., Azure Blob) and downloading them during initialization. This approach avoids relying on the generic catalogs bundled with the latest module versions, which—while always up-to-date—may not reflect the specific validation or optimization required for certain hardware models. Suppressing automatic updates helps preserve these curated configurations and ensures consistent deployment behavior.
