Getting Started
Deploying Linux and booting your Linode for the first time
Lish: the Linode Shell
Out of band access to your Linode's console and remote job execution
Distro Wizard |
This is your first step when deploying your Linode. Choose your flavor of linux, disk image size, swap size, and set the root password. Your own server deployed and running in minutes! Leave yourself extra disk space and experiment with other distributions knowing you can flip back to your old reliable (only one can be booted at a time per Linode). Now you can back up those distro flame wars with experience. |
Dashboard |
The Dashboard shows your Linode's current state, allows you to boot between configuration profiles and shows your Linode's job history on its host server. |
Configuration Profiles |
Configuration Profiles store disk image to device node associations and other settings. You can have multiple profiles and boot between them. |
Disk Images |
Add as many disk images as you like for custom partition schemes and sharing disk images across multiple configuration profiles. Running low on disk space? Add more instantly and resize your image. Want to reconfigure your swap? No problem. Rename, duplicate (snapshot), delete images -- you're in control. |
DNS Manager
|
Full featured DNS to manage your domains. Master and slave support and you can import a zone from a remote nameserver. |
We've all done it at some point. Messed with your network settings and can't get into your Linode? No worries - Lish is your virtual console. Lish's primary function is to allow you access to your server's console, even if networking is disabled.
Clone an entire configuration or just the images you select to another Linode. Combine with the IP failover feature and create your own high-availability cluster.
Configure what IPs you own are allowed to come up on each Linode.
The Finnix recovery distribution occupies no disk space on your Linode account and is useful for recovering from screw ups.
Our Linode Manager control panel gets your jobs done.
