In ExoGENI there are multiple ways that you can create custom Images. 

To get a list of currently available images on ExoGENI racks take a look at the ORCA Image Registry site available here:[[BR]]

ExoGENI information is available on how to: 

 * [http://www.exogeni.net/2014/06/creating-a-custom-image-from-an-existing-virtual-machine/ Modify an existing image loaded on a EG VM and take a snapshot]

 * [http://www.exogeni.net/2015/02/using-dropbox-for-exogeni-images/ Use !DropBox to store your ExoGENI images]


If you want to create an image of an OS that is not currently available in EG, or port your custom image to EG you can use !VirtualBox to create and snapshot your image, see the page: [[BR]]

Originally, some harder way to build images were used and can be found at these locations:

   * Build your own image on any Linux computer by following [https://geni-orca.renci.org/trac/wiki/virtual-machines these instructions]
   * Add NEuca guest tools to it following [https://geni-orca.renci.org/trac/wiki/NEuca-guest-configuration these instructions]
