Images
Images are the OS templates used to create new servers. Bamboozle provides a library of maintained public images and lets you save your own custom images for reuse across your project.
Navigate to Cloud → Images to manage images.
My Images
The My Images tab lists images you have created within your project. These can be:
- Snapshots — point-in-time copies of an existing server's root disk, created from a server's Snapshots page
- Custom uploads — images you have uploaded directly
Each image shows its name, UUID, status, size, creation date, and the region it is stored in.
Using a custom image
Custom images appear as a boot option when creating a new server. In the Create Server wizard, select the My Images tab under the Image step and choose your image.
Deleting an image
Select the image in the list and click Delete. Deleting an image does not affect servers already running from it, but you will no longer be able to create new servers from it.
Public Images
The Public Images tab lists all OS images maintained by Bamboozle and available to all projects. These are kept up to date with the latest stable releases.
Available public images include:
| Distribution | Versions available |
|---|---|
| Ubuntu Linux | 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS |
| Debian Linux | 13 |
| AlmaLinux | 10 |
| Rocky Linux | 9, 10 |
| Oracle Linux | 8, 9, 10 |
| CentOS Stream | 9 |
| Fedora | 42 |
| OpenSUSE | 15.6 |
| Arch Linux | Latest |
| Fedora CoreOS | Latest (x86-64, k8saas variant) |
Public images are available in all regions and cannot be modified or deleted by users.
Creating an image from a server
The most common way to create a custom image is to snapshot a running server:
- Navigate to your server and open the Snapshots page from the sidebar.
- Click + Create Snapshot.
- Give the snapshot a name and confirm.
The snapshot appears in My Images once it finishes (status: active). Creation time depends on the root disk size.
Shut down your server before taking a snapshot to ensure filesystem consistency.
Image properties
Each image — public or custom — has the following properties visible in the list:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Descriptive name of the image |
| UUID | Unique identifier used when referencing the image via API |
| Status | active means ready to use; queued or saving means still processing |
| Size | Compressed image size on disk |
| Created At | When the image was created or last updated |
| Region | The datacenter the image is stored in |
