Manage a Tagadab Cloud server with Serverpilot

serverpilot_on_tagadab_cloud.md

1. In Tagadab cloud control panel create new server running Ubuntu 14.04.2 minimal, with backups enabled.

2. Change Tools > Bootloader to server so it can load it's own kernel modules.

3. Take snapshot (pre-upgrade-os).

4. We need to update to Ubuntu 14.04.4 first. Login as root and run:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt dist-upgrade
   

5. Make sure version is now Ubuntu 14.04.4 using:

    cat /etc/lsb-release
   

6. Start Ubuntu 16.04 installation (say yes to everything):

    sudo do-release-upgrade
   

7. Take snapshot (post-upgrade-os).

8. Check that the Tagadab vlan firewall rules allows access to the server IP on the SSH port 22.

9. Create free account on serverpilot.io, and connect to your server using it's IP address and root password.

10. If you opened port 22 in step 8, it's now safe to close it again. Serverpilot only needs SSH access for installation.
