# Turnkey Images for OpenVPN on EDIS VPS (Deprecated)

> Turnkey image installations are no longer supported on EDIS Global VPS platforms. Learn the supported alternatives for OpenVPN and other applications.

# Turnkey images (deprecated)

> ⚠️ **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.

***

## 🧭 Recommended Alternatives

To install applications or operating systems on your VPS, use one of the supported deployment methods below:

### 1. 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](https://manage.edisglobal.com/clientarea.php).\
This ensures full compatibility with current hosting infrastructure and networking configurations.

→ See: [Reinstalling Your VPS with Linux or Windows](../vps-management/autoinstall-reinstall-install-vps-linux-windows)

***

### 2. 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 full control over system initialization.

## 🔒 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* Frequent version mismatches and outdated software stacks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, we recommend switching to **Cloud-Init templates** or the **Reinstall OS** feature — both offer faster, more reliable, and up-to-date installations.
