Vultr /DO snapshot, application (apps) provision for VM request

[rezabagh]

hello ,

it would be nice to add the feature of provisioning VM via Vultr or DO backbone with snapshot, custom ISO, backup, application (apps) for Vultr and snapshot, application (apps) for DO .

Thanks

Snapshots on Digital Ocean should work. If you take a snapshot, then it should be automatically inserted into the images table. If you want to manually associate an existing snapshot with Lobster, the image identification is "snapshot:" followed by the snapshot name.

ISO and snapshots on Vultr should also work. For ISO, prefix the image ID with "iso:" instead of "os:". For snapshots, prefix it with "snapshot:". If you take a snapshot from Lobster, again it should automatically be associated in the database.

Applications aren't supported though, and support can certainly be added.

hello, for the Vultr i created a VM with snapshot , but i get the below error, it still need OSID.

i have create the record like this : customos -1 Plan Amsterdam Active snapshot:bc55217eaf988

error :

Hi,

Lobster panel encountered an error.

Error: Missing OSID field Description: vm creation failed Detail: hostname=wsws, plan_id=125, image_identification=snapshot:bc55217eaf988

This error should be resolved as soon as possible!

The issue with provision from snapshot has been fixed.

Applications are now supported on the vultr provider on Cloug. To use this in Lobster, add block to lobster.cfg.json like this:

    {
        "name": "Vultr NJ",
        "type": "cloug",
        "provider": "vultr",
        "region": "1",
        "api_key": "YOUR API KEY"
    }

hello,

Thank you @uakfdotb for your great support, how i should define the image ID for creating a specific Applications ?

Thanks

[uakfdotb]

For Vultr it would be app:[APPID]. The autopopulate function will include the application images. You'll need to use the Cloug provider with the JSON configuration above, this supercedes the direct Lobster VMI.

hello,

Thank you @uakfdotb for your hint, at this would work for digitalocean as well ? i mean "type": "cloug", and image ID "app:[APPID]" or there should be some difference ?

[uakfdotb]

No, for DigitalOcean you would just specify the image ID of the application image. On DO, distributions/applications/snapshots all have the same ID scheme; Vultr needs special distinction because each image type is treated differently.
