Upload Images
There are three different ways to upload custom images.
- First log in to the Horizon Dashboard
- Now navigate to "Compute" → "Images"
- Here click on the button "Create Image"
- Enter the required info and click on "Create Image" and now the custom image is uploaded into the OpenStack Cloud
You need to have the OpenStack-CLI installed and configured. Download an image you want to use, for example an Ubuntu cloud image. After sourcing the openrc.sh you can easily upload your own image and use it right after, like this:
openstack image create --progress --private --disk-format=qcow2 --container-format=bare \
--property architecture=x86_64 --file noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.img "Ubuntu Noble"
Info
Please refer to the official OpenStackClient documentation for the list of the supported parameters.
