best choice. They are quick, secure, and ready in seconds. But you? You are not the 90%.
Perhaps you are a security expert who requires Kali Linux. Perhaps you are a “less is more” kind of
person who requires a bare-bones Arch Linux install. At Litescaler, we believe in Infrastructure
Sovereignty. Since our VPS platform is based on KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)
technology, you have complete hardware access.
Phase 1: The Prep Work
Unlike a template install, a custom OS install will not magically know how to access the internet.
Before you blow away your existing server, you must obtain your network information from the
Litescaler Dashboard.
Required Details: IPv4 Address, Gateway, Subnet Mask, and a direct HTTPS link to
your preferred ISO file.
Phase 2 & 3: Upload and Boot Switch
Navigate to your VPS Management Panel and look for the ISO/Media tab. Due to our
high-speed NVMe infrastructure, even a large files will upload in seconds. Once uploaded, navigate
to Settings and set CD-ROM/ISO as the Primary boot device.
then click “Start” to ensure the boot order change is picked up by the BIOS.
Phase 4: Installation via VNC
You haven’t installed SSH yet, so you can’t use your terminal. You have to watch the screen through
the console.
Click the VNC Console button on your dashboard. Run the install as you would on a
home PC. In 2026, installation is visual, hand-on, and precise.
Phase 5 & 6: Network Config and Launch
This is where most people get stuck. You must manually configure the network card. For Linux, edit
your /etc/network/interfaces or use nmtui to enter your static details.
Unmount and Launch: When finished, switch the Boot Order back to “Hard Disk”,
unmount the ISO, and reboot. Your custom fortress is now live.
Take Full Control.
