Creating a Desktop from an OS Template

To get started with an OS template-based desktop creation:

1. Navigate to the course’s Desktops menu
2. Click "Create From OS Template"

The screen below shows the various settings you’ll see when creating from an OS template
 

Here’s what each field means:

• GPU Model
  Pick the GPU model and type you need. Check ‘Display GPU enabled servers’ to see only servers that have GPUs.
• Datacentre / Server
  Choose the datacentre region and server closest to where you are Brazil.
• OS to clone from
  You’ll find a range of operating system templates, like Windows and various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, and more).
• Include custom, old, beta & rc Versions
  DaDesktop refreshes its templates often, but if the newest template gives you trouble, this lets you fall back to a previous version.
• CPU
  Set the number of CPU cores you need. The default is 8 cores, which works well for typical Linux and Windows tasks.
• Memory
  Specify the memory limit in GB. Keep in mind that the server’s resources set the ceiling—each server has its own memory cap. To raise this limit, reach out via our Support Chat.
• Disk Space
  Set the amount of disk space to allocate; the default is 50GB.
