[Feature] - Custom ISO workflow?

jakimfett opened this issue · 2 comments

Unsure if this exists (and I'm missing the functionality somewhere) or if it's actually a feature request.

I'd like to use the Vultr CLI tool to deploy instances based on an ISO at a remote URL.

At the moment, I've manually uploaded my ISO via the webUI, but am not seeing a way to select the specific system image within the vultr-cli instance create syntax.

Would prefer to avoid the webui completely, any suggestions? Is this currently possible?

@jakimfett

For ISOs once uploaded you them you have to get the ISOs ID and you can use pass that to the instance create call

      --iso string              iso ID you want to create the instance with

As for remote booting instance create also supports iPXE

     --ipxe string             if you've selected the 'custom' operating system, this can be set to chainload the specified URL on bootup

@ddymko thank you, appreciate your time!
