OS Images

Upload, import, mount, extract, and browse ISO images — turning system images into bootable resources.

Docs: Netboot Catalog | File Manager | REST API Reference


When to Use

  • Need your own system images (official ISOs, customized images) for network installs → upload/import
  • Want to boot image content directly without extraction → mount the ISO
  • Inspect image content → file browsing

Entry: Basic Config → OS Images (/os-images).

Task 1: Upload / import

  • Upload: drag-and-drop or pick an ISO to upload
  • Import from local path: point at a file path on the server
  • Automatic distro detection after import

Task 2: Mount / unmount

Mount an ISO to make its content directly bootable via NFS/HTTP; unmount when done. Mount point tracking is automatic.

Task 3: Browse files

Browse the mounted image's content; download individual files.

Task 4: Reprocess

Re-run distro detection/parsing after metadata changes with "reprocess".

API

All operations have REST endpoints (upload/import/mount/extract/reprocess/file download) — see REST API Reference.
