×I thought that a rebuild would erase all of the data on the droplet and set back to the original creation image. I just did this, selecting “Rebuild from original” and everything is still there. Do I have to chose an image from the list. I want to start my droplet over but not destroy it.
I received a snapshot/image from a colleague; how do I apply it to a fresh droplet to bring it back to life? I cannot see it in the image selection dialog (could this be because I started migrating the image to Frankfurt first, and do not know if it’s finished yet?)?
I thought it’d be pretty easy to spin up an image but I’m just not seeing a useful option saying “revive image/snapshot”. :)
When you receive a snapshot from someone, you should see it first in images section. If it is not there, then the image has not been successfully transferred.
If it is there, then go to Create Droplet and at the last option, selection Snapshot Tab. There you can select your image. Remeber not to get disguised by the default Applications tab.
Hope this helps!
