From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Setting up an instance with OpenStack (lemmy.world)

Hey all,

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post, but I cannot find a dedicated OpenStack sub lemmy.

I'm trying to get experience with OpenStack, and it seems most tutorials are using something called "OpenMetal". This is subscription based with a free trial (which I may end up having to use), but without OpenMetal, it seems I only have access to one OS to install when creating an instance.

See here.

Is there a way for me to install something like Ubuntu 22.04 without the help from OpenMetal? If so, how would I go about doing it?

Do you see an option to import other images in your dashboard? For ubuntu, you'd get those from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/
