Installing an OS remotely
Install operating systems remotely on dedicated servers using BMC and netboot.xyz
Last updated: 2/3/2026
Getting started
Download the netboot.xyz.iso from the official download page.
Then log in to the BMC panel using the IP address and login credentials provided by OneQode in your support ticket.
If it’s your first time logging in, please change the provided login credentials for security.
Open the KVM console
In the left hand navigation panel, navigate to “Remote Control”, then select “KVM & SOL”.
Then select “Launch KVM”.
Load the netboot image
Click “Browse File” and select the “netboot.xyz.iso” you downloaded earlier.
Then click “Start Media” to load the image.
Reboot the server
Click Power → Reset Server
You should then see the following screen after netboot has initialized:
Download your image within netboot
Under “Distributions” select “Linux Network Installs (64 bit)”.
In this guide, we’ll select AlmaLinux → AlmaLinux 8.7 → AlmaLinux 8.7 graphical installer — however you can select any distribution you like here.
Then wait until it gets into the Alma’s installation wizard.
Sometimes you may be on the below screen for 5-10 minutes. If this process takes longer than 15 minutes, reboot the server and repeat this step.
Configure settings
In the installation wizard, select your desired language, time zone, software selection, and your root password.
Then select “Begin Installation”.
Once this is complete, reboot the system and you’ll be presented with a black login screen — the installation is finished and you’re good to go.
