I've been using this procedure to remotely replace operating systems for years. The most common scenario is a VPS provider that doesn't give you the choice of OS you want.
Infact, I will be using it later today, to replace a Debian system with Gentoo, no less. The README in OPs link is spot-on here (the last few paragraphs).
- djsumdog 10y agoThis is exactly what I thought when I saw this post. I really want to use Void Linux on a provider, but no one supports it (except for those who allow custom images like Linode). It'd be great to be able to provision a standard Ubuntu or CentOS box and then replace it with the OS I actually want to run.
