UpCloud
Ops can integrate with your existing UpCloud account. You can use Ops CLI to create and upload an image in UpCloud account. Once, you have uploaded image, you can also create an instance with a particular image using CLI.
- 1.
- 2.Set next environment variables.
$ export UPCLOUD_USER=<your account username>
$ export UPCLOUD_PASSWORD=<your account password>
$ export UPCLOUD_ZONE=<location of your images and instances>
You also need to enable API access:

enabling upcloud api
Images for UpCloud are created by directly creating storage through the api not by uploading to a bucket.
You can create an image in UpCloud with the following command.
$ ops image create <elf_file> -i <image_name> -t upcloud
Note: Creating an image can take a while in certain regions. There is a default timeout of 10min but can be adjusted via https://github.com/nanovms/ops/blob/master/provider/upcloud/upcloud.go#L68 . You can see the status live via https://hub.upcloud.com/storage/devices as well.
For creating an image using a particular package, you need to provide the package name to
ops image create
command with -p
option.$ ops image create -c config.json -p node_v14.2.0 -a ex.js -i <image_name> -t upcloud
You can list existing images on Upcloud with
ops image list -t upcloud
.$ ops image list -t upcloud
