How to install your CentOS ISO image on a VPS with only SSH and VNC access?

Question

linux

Recently rented a vps from contabo. But ran into a problem. The provider modified their OS, and they ask $ 30 for adding their image. Actually the question is, can someone come across a similar one and know how, having access only to ssh and vnc, install their CentOS image?

Answer 1

No way. The image must be hosted by the VPS provider and accessible through the control panel.
Although ... (there is pure theorizing, which has not been tested in practice and has nothing to do with centos)
- connect one more disk to the config. Disk 1 - on it linux from dip and a hamster. Disk 2 - it will have its own linux.
- zabutitsya from the Provo disk, upload the archive of your linux type stage3 in gent to the hamster.
- deploy stage3 to Disk2, configure the necessary settings in /etc
- add another configuration to the grab config, in which the root refers to Disk2, try to boot.

Answer 2

how, having access only to ssh and vnc, install your image

I can't say 100%, but most likely not. Your image is often a marketing plus for those who have it, and there either through the panel or through support (they upload it).

vps at contabo

Be careful with them, and doubly so if you're going to host something for production there. Reviews of Contabo are very mixed - in my opinion, they go too far with the combination of resources and price offered. I once refused to buy, despite the cheapness.
For sales and your ISO, it's better to take something like Vultr. It is both more stable and supports loading (it used to be). But the price is also higher.

If KVM starts there, then it is possible according to this principle... https :
