Upload images

Upload Images

There are three different ways to upload custom images.

Dashboard

  • First log in to the Dashboard
  • Now navigate to 'Compute' -> 'Images'
  • Here click on the button 'Create Image'
  • Enter the required info and click on "Create Image" and now the custom image is uploaded into the SysEleven Stack

OpenStack-CLI

You need to have the OpenStack-CLI installed and configured.
Download an image you want to use, e.g. an Ubuntu cloud image.
After sourcing the openrc.sh you can easily upload your own image and use it right after, like this:

openstack image create --progress --private --disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare \
--property architecture=x86_64 --file noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.img "Ubuntu Noble"

Please refer to the official OpenStackClient documentation for the list of the supported parameters.
