Have they removed rescue mode @online.net (Dedibox SC SATA 2016)

I ordered two Dedibox SC SATA 2016 @online.net and I had planed that one of them should be a Windows server. But I can't find the rescue system, I used some time ago last time I had a online server. No rescue on the cheap servers?

  • Did you install the server first? I've got rescue mode on my Dedibox SC SSD 2016

    Just got them. Ok, so I have to install a OS before I get access to the rescue system then?

    Well, on Hetzner and Kimsufi you have access on the rescue system BEFORE you install a OS. So then you can use the rescue system to install Windows.
    So Online is the first host that don't have a rescue system in place before installing any OS (that takes one hour+)

    Well, it only takes 5 minutes (at most) to install Linux and run the rescue. Patience is a virtue =)

    Well you don't have a online server I assume. It takes ONE hour+ to install etc CentOS before you can do anything with the server. So why they use so long time I don't know, but ONE hour+ they use.

    Nope, but my OVH dedi installed pretty fast when I got it. Just cancelled my Kidechire a bit ago, moved the stuff to a container on my dedi :)

    Yep I noted this also, some time ago. It's inconvenient if you just want to load your own image via network and dd (e.g. restore a full "cold" backup). Have to wait until some random OS you don't care about installs first.
