Edit: I wanted to double-check because this would make my life so much easier, but no, I still can't use Floating IP with Custom Images. I imported a FlatcarLinux image from a URL and created a droplet; once the droplet launched, I still see this:
> Floating IP: Disabled
> Public IPv6 Address: Not available with custom images.

- jakelazaroff 6y agoInteresting — checked again and what I'm using is actually a snapshot. Not sure why that makes a difference, sorry for the confusion.
- dstick 6y agoI guess that would be a slightly laborous work around? Install vanilla linux, configure as needed. Save snapshot. Treat it as a custom image :)
- bithavoc 6y agoYeah, Snapshots work quite well, you can even transfer them between accounts and copy them between regions in the same account, but it's a "transfer" meant to be used as a migration mechanism, not distribution.
