How to install an Operating System – Phanes Cloud Support Center

To install an operating system on your Cloud instance, follow these steps:

On your dashboard, locate the list of your servers.

Find the server you want to install and click the Manage button.

If the server status is Awaiting setup..., you will be redirected to the server setup page.

On the server setup page, you can configure the following settings:

Name: Enter a name for your server.

Hostname: Specify the hostname for your server.

Timezone: Select the timezone for your server.

Next, choose the operating system and its version from the provided options. You can also choose Self Install which allows you to select an ISO CD file from the list, which will be mounted to your server.

If you have an SSH key, you can select or add it to enable secure passwordless authentication. Alternatively, you can choose password authentication.

🔒

We recommend using SSH keys as this keeps your server more secure.

Under advanced options, you have the option to enable VNC, which allows you to open the screen of your server.

Optionally, you can select the DNS resolvers you prefer.

Once you have configured the desired settings, click the Install button to begin the installation process.

Following these steps will guide you through installing an operating system on your Cloud instance. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please reach out to our support team for help.
