Reinstall the OS

Wipe the VM's disk and install a fresh copy of an operating system.

Reinstalling erases everything on the VM's disk permanently and cannot be undone. Copy off anything you need first, or take a snapshot.

Reinstall

The VM must be running.

  1. Open the VM and choose Reinstall OS.
  2. Read the warning. It says this wipes the disk.
  3. Select the OS image from the list. It offers the operating systems available for the VM's plan.
  4. Choose Reinstall. The VM shows Reinstalling and returns to Running with a fresh install.

The plan, size and region stay exactly the same. Only the operating system and disk contents change.

Access after a reinstall

You connect to the reinstalled VM the same way as a new one, with the SSH key or password that VM was created with. If you have lost those, see Console access or open a support ticket.
