Upload your own disk image. You can try .iso.
Alpine Linux, Tiny Core Linux, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and your custom .iso.
Yes and no. You can try uploading a lightweight Linux distribution, and it may even be usable, but nothing is guaranteed. Heavier systems, like GNOME-based Ubuntu, will likely fail to boot due to limited VPS capacity and the lack of /dev/kvm
access.
A base image overlay will be created, and you’ll be redirected to a web interface where you can control your virtual machine.
I’ve tried Slax—it booted, ran, and was somewhat usable. Other lightweight systems like this can also be booted and run.
Look—no /dev/kvm
, cheap VPS… it’s a miracle that anything boots at all!
Currently, they stay up for about an hour, unless the authentication token expires earlier.
That depends entirely on whether I can afford a real server or at least gain access to /dev/kvm
. Stay tuned.
Yep. You can manage snapshots from your profile panel. Just keep in mind that snapshots currently can’t exceed 300 MB—which is basically Alpine Linux with a few small packages. This limit may be increased in the future.
Currently, headless machines only.
