Hi,
Thanks for the info re upload image option on Linode. Its there on Digital Ocean as well. I used it in the past because on my current VPS I didn't like the old Debian images, maybe the Linode/Gandi/Digital Ocean Debian images are small enough for me to just use those and save me the bother.
I have done a custom image on Linode in the past using the rescue environment and writing the ISO to a temporary disk. I think the upload option is fairly new.
Thanks.
Andrew.

I used Linode in the past but liked my own Debian install and that is hard to do with their setup.
Linode allow you to upload your own file system image, which could be an alternative. I suppose another option would be to boot into their rescue environment and run Debootstrap to install a custom Debian system.
Gandi would be my other option as I have a lot with them and they have solid hosting options. I especially like their web hosting which runs on containers and is a good middle ground between VPS and managed web hosting.
I've used their domain registration service, but not their hosting services. For domain registration, they have been reliable. I manage my own DNS, so I don't rely on Gandi for that aspect. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
