This article is deprecated. Turnkey Linux images are no longer supported on EDIS Global VPS platforms.
Turnkey-based installations were previously used to deploy pre-configured virtual appliances such as OpenVPN, WordPress and similar systems. These images have been discontinued due to compatibility and stability issues with current virtualization environments. To install applications or operating systems on your VPS, use one of the supported deployment methods below.

​
Auto-install a supported OS

Reinstall your VPS with a clean Linux or Windows image using the Reinstall OS feature in your EDIS Global Control Panel. This ensures full compatibility with current hosting infrastructure and networking configurations. See Reinstalling your VPS with Linux or Windows.

​
Bring your own image (Cloud-Init)

If you need a specific configuration or custom distribution, you can upload your own .qcow2 image and automate setup using Cloud-Init user-data scripts. This method replaces the old Turnkey workflow and gives you full control over system initialization. See Installing a VPS using Cloud-Init.

​
Why Turnkey was removed

  • Frequent version mismatches and outdated software stacks.
  • Inconsistent network configuration on newer KVM nodes.
  • Lack of long-term maintenance from upstream Turnkey Linux.
  • Improved reliability and automation via Cloud-Init.
If you previously relied on Turnkey images for fast deployments, switch to Cloud-Init templates or the Reinstall OS feature. Both offer faster, more reliable and up-to-date installations.
