schousda

Hello,

i have a VPS at Gullo (gullo.me) and wanted to ask, if anybody knows if it is possible to upload an own ISO file to install the server. I want to install a different OS then the given minimal linux images.
Thanks.

You have to put the Gullo into the ISO first using Windows 98.

AFAIK gullo only does OpenVZ which doesn't support custom ISO.

You can install Windows Server 2012 on their NAT 128mb VPS. It runs as smooth as silk

Can it hold 50 chrome tabs?

Technically, no. Magically, yes.

kassle

you can upload any iso to your server (via scp, sftp, etc), but not boot it.

I had an idea which involves KVM, chroot, a bootloader and turtles.

Basically you would create a temp dir, use the initrd.img from the iso (bootable), mount all the required stuff there (like: /proc /sys /dev /run ...), then chroot in there and run "setup" IN THEORY.
Turtles just for luck.

Thanks for the sensible answer, that was unexpected

I was thinking it would involve qemu and some ToS-breaking shenanigans lol
