Uploading images

To upload an image

  1. On the Images screen, click Add image.

  2. In the Add image window, do the following:

    1. Click Browse and select a file in one of the supported formats: .iso, .img, .qcow2, .raw.
    2. Specify an image name to be shown in the admin panel.

    3. Select the correct OS type from the drop-down list.

      The OS type affects VM parameters such as hypervisor settings. VMs created from an image with an incorrect OS type may not work correctly, for example, they may crash.

  3. For an image in the QCOW2, RAW, or IMG format:

    • Select UEFI boot to mark the image as UEFI bootable.
    • Select vTPM to enable a virtual Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that provides enhanced security to the guest OS. Enabling vTPM also enables UEFI boot, since vTPM requires UEFI mode.

      • These parameters cannot be changed after the image is uploaded. They will be inherited by all VMs and volumes provisioned from the image.

      For Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025, these parameters are mandatory and enabled automatically.

  4. Click Add to start uploading the image. The upload progress will be shown in the bottom right corner.

You can hide the pop-up window without interrupting the upload process. The upload progress will be available in the notification center.
