Info

Images are custom templates that can be created from any (currently only Linux) server in Spinup. They will show up under the "Images" tab in your space and can be used to deploy new servers. Images you have created will stay there indefinitely until you delete them.

Problem

Solution

TBDYou need to create a custom image from a server you have customized and later use that image to create new server(s) in the same space.


Solution

We assume you already have a server in Spinup that you want to use as the base for your image. Install any required applications and other OS customizations that you'd like. You can also resize the root disk or add additional disks to the server - those will also be captured as part of the image. Keep in mind that any regular users (with uid >= 1000) and their home directories will be removed when the image is created. This is to prevent the proliferation of stale user accounts and keys. When deploying from an image the owner's ssh key will get injected into the new server.

  1. Go to the server management page from the Spinup interface and power off the server
  2. Click the Create Image button in the control panel to open the Create Custom Image modal:
  3. Image Added
  4. Enter a Name and Description for your image (make those as verbose as possible so you can easily remember what the image was intended for)
