This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for installing a custom Linux-based operating system that is not available in our standard templates.
Please note that this installation method is only suitable for Linux-based distributions. Installing a custom Windows Server version from an ISO file requires IPMI access to mount the installation media, which is not available on our current servers. Therefore, it is not possible to manually install older or custom versions of Windows Server.
Warning: For Advanced Users Only. This process will completely erase all data on your server's hard drive. Proceed with extreme caution and ensure you have a full backup of your data before you begin.
First, you must boot your server into Rescue Mode from the PowerPanel. This provides the environment needed to write the new OS image to your disk.
