You want the "Create Image" button. Seems they renamed it.

(By the way, "Duplicate Disk" is disabled because you don't have enough unallocated disk space to duplicate the image and have a whole new copy on the node the same size as the original.)

Thanks! I'll try it out tomorrow.

Same question as above - don't seem to have access to this feature. How can it be enabled?

Hello,

It's 'on' for everyone (and has been for quite some). You can read more here: https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/linode-images

When will this feature be out of beta?

Hi. I have just created an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server, with CSF firewall, Virtualmin/Webmin, and nothing else. This is what I consider a base system for me. But the space is 2202Mb and so it wont allow me to create an image as its greater than 2040Mb.

Do you think you'll be allowing more than 2040Mb, because I think if I cant even create a disk image of a bare bones OS with Webmin and LAMP stack, its not going to be very useful for a lot of people as I would think a lot of people would want some sort of software on their base systems they want images of.

P.S. My CentOS server images are OK, I guess CentOS uses lower space than Ubuntu, but considering Ubuntu is popular I think I should be able to create an image of that too.

EDIT: I freed up enough space with "sudo apt-get clean" but still, its a bit close!

Thanks!

This looks like a really great feature and is similar to what other providers have.
Only thing preventing me from using this is the 2gb limit. I would rather it be 10gb limit with no limit per image as I have set up my server and would use this as the basis for other but it's coming out at 3.1Gb so no good for me!

Agree, I tried it recently and it failed, greater than 2 gigs. Since I use over 10 Gigs that makes sense and since the disk is like 40 or more Gigs I'm not sure there will be many people that will be able to use this service.

Just spent hours creating a new master server to use for future servers... Centos 7 (all my old ones are Centos 6).

It only has Centos 7, CSF Firewall, Apache/MySQL/PHP/Postfix and other services added by Webmin & Virtualmin. To me this is a bare minimum web server. Yet I get this now, which tells me Centos 7 takes up more space than Centos 6:

Size of disk (2355MB) is larger than the per-image limit of 2048MB.


I have cleaned up yum, have less than 2Mb in the log folder, emptied the /tmp/ folder, have less than 1Mb in my roots home folder... does anyone know what else I can delete to get this below the limit?

Update: I contacted Linode about the low limit and they can increase the limit a little in cases like mine on a case by case basis, so thats good. I would think a much higher limit may not get approved (understandably), but I only wanted a few hundred MBs so they did it, which is great. Thanks!
