<span>Automate OS and application installation on servers using templates and scripts</span>

Key features

Ready-made set of templates

Standard templates of popular operating systems from the ISPsystem repository - CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Server and others

Template management

Adding your own OS templates, changing settings for their installation, loading ISO images

Creating images

Create custom operating system images from servers connected to DCImanager

Automatic software installation

Installing the required software on the server and configuring it using standard or customized scripts

Autoinstallation templates for dedicated servers

DCImanager templates are pre-built sets of disk images and installation scripts. DCImanager uses templates to install operating systems, search, diagnose and restore servers. All templates are loaded to the location from the ISPsystem repository. Each location can store an individual set of templates.

Using templates allows you to automate the server provisioning for a client, reduce the number of routine operations and the workload for employees.

There are several options available for installing the OS from a template:

1
Using ready-made templates from the ISPsystem repository
2
Creating custom OS images based on servers already connected to the DCImanager platform
3
Downloading ISO image

The ISPsystem repository contains templates for the following OS and tools:

  • Arch Linux
  • auto-add servers (Server-search6)
  • ISO image loader
  • AlmaLinux 8, 9
  • CentOS 6, 7, 8
  • CentOS Stream 8, 9
  • Debian 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
  • Fedora 32
  • FreeBSD 11, 12, 13, 14
  • Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 22.04
  • Windows 10
  • Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022
  • VMware ESXi 6
  • Server diagnostics
  • Server recovery (Sysrescd6-x86_64)

If necessary, you can add your own template or repository of OS templates to DCImanager.

The platform allows you to flexibly customize the templates you use - change settings, automatic update parameters, macros, and so on.

Running scripts to install and configure software

DCImanager automates not only OS installation, but also further server configuration. Scripts are executed after the operating system is installed and allow you to install additional software (web servers, databases and other applications), change configuration files, etc.

The platform provides access to the ISPsystem repository scripts (LAMP, LEMP, Django, ISPmanager Lite, Openvpn, Redmine, Tomcat, Teamspeak and others); it is possible to add and configure your own ones.
