rc.local is executed too early
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello!

According to the VyOS Wiki and the file itself, the content of vyatta-postconfig-bootup.script should be applied after the VyOS configuration is fully applied. As this is not the case anymore, many modifications via this file are not possible/working because they are applied too early. You can find an example in T209, despite the fact that the iptables chain in this example does not exist. It would be great if rc.local and therefore vyatta-postconfig-bootup.script would be executed after the configuration is fully applied, so that custom modifications can be used again.

It's triggered by systemd, so it will happen before the config is fully loaded. It might be better to move that into the cli config and execute with prio 999, that way it will be definitely the last script running.

@hagbard I don't know if this is somehow relevant regarding VyOS 1.3, but i have tested it with VyOS 1.2.3-epa1 just today and it works perfectly.

@rcit Lot's of development underway and since I wasn't able to reproduce it anymoe, I thought I ask, Feel free to reopen if the issue re-occurs.
