Open the machine → ISOs tab.
Mounting an ISO makes the machine boot from that image instead of its disk. It's how you install an operating system we don't offer as a template, run a network appliance, or boot a rescue environment to repair a system that won't start.
Browse and search
The table lists every ISO available to your account with its name, size and a short description. Use the search field to filter by name.
The library covers the usual appliances and rescue tools, for example:
| ISO | What it's for |
|---|---|
| pfSense CE | Firewall and router |
| VyOS | Routing and firewall appliance |
| TrueNAS SCALE | Open-source NAS operating system |
| Clonezilla Live | Disk and partition imaging/cloning |
| MikroTik RouterOS | Router operating system |
| SystemRescue | Rescue and repair toolkit |
Windows Server images are there too — search for Windows.
Mount an ISO
- 1Find the ISOSearch or scroll to the image you want.
- 2Click MountA confirmation dialog appears warning that the machine will restart.
- 3ConfirmClick Mount ISO. The machine restarts automatically and boots from the image.
- 4Open the consoleClick Console in the machine header to drive the installer — an ISO boot has no SSH, so the browser console is your only way in.
NoteOnly one ISO can be mounted at a time. To swap images, unmount the current one first.
Unmount
A mounted ISO shows a red Unmount button instead of Mount. Click it and confirm; the machine restarts again and boots from disk.
WarningIf you installed an OS from the ISO, unmount before the final reboot — otherwise the machine boots the installer again instead of your new system.
Request a custom ISO
Can't find what you need? The Request Custom ISO section at the bottom of the page opens a support ticket. We'll evaluate the request and, where feasible, add the image to your library.
Summary
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Mount | The ISO is attached and the machine restarts to boot from it |
| Unmount | The ISO is detached and the machine restarts to boot from disk |
| Request ISO | A support ticket is opened to add a custom image |
TipIf you only want a clean install of an OS or app we already offer, Reinstall is faster and fully automated — no console session required.
