Reinstalling the OS via our templates
How to reinstall your VPS/VDS with a new OS using a template
What templates are available as a one-click install on Crunchbits' virtualization platform?
At Crunchbits, the available templates are:
1. Log in to our VPS Control Panel
Log in to our VPS Control Panel using your credentials. Then click on the Manage button next to the VM that you'd like to reinstall.
3. Start the Reinstallation process
Start by clicking on the Rebuild button.
This process is irreversible and there will be total data loss.
Then you'll be presented with the following screen:
In there, you'll need to input a new name for the VM [1], then optionally, you can set a hostname [2], and lastly, you'll need to select the OS with which you'd like to re-install your VM with [3].
After selecting the OS, with which you'd like to re-install your VM with, you'll be presented with a few more options:
First, you'll have the ability to select a swap size [1]. We usually recommend having at least 512 MB of swap space.
Then you can optionally choose an SSH key. You can find out how to add SSH keys into your account here: Adding SSH keys
If you do not select an SSH key, then an e-mail will be sent to your inbox containing the root password.
Please make sure to change that auto-generated password as soon as possible for safety.
After doing both of these selections, please click on the Install with OSNAME button.
If you haven't selected an SSH key, then please confirm that chose by clicking on the Install without button.
Then wait for the reinstallation to finish.
And just like that, you've successfully reinstalled the OS on your VPS!
