Highlights

Smaller Snapshots

The root disk is now zeroed before the intend image is uploaded. This makes sure, that no bytes from the original image are stored in the compressed snapshot. Previously a very small uploaded image could not be smaller than ~0.42Gi, as that was the (compressed) size of image that the server was started with. Starting a server from a custom image is slower the larger the image is, so by having smaller images the servers can start faster.

As one example: The test Talos Linux 1.10.1 x86 image was 0.42Gi before, and now only takes up 0.2Gi.

This only benefits images that are smaller than 0.42Gi compressed.

🐮 Upload qcow2 images

qcow2 images with a max size of 960 MB can now be uploaded.

hcloud-upload-image upload --format=qcow2 --architecture=x86 --image-url=https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/appliances/openSUSE-MicroOS.x86_64-OpenStack-Cloud.qcow2

These will be converted to a raw disk image on the temporary server with qemu-img dd.

🧃 Container image

There is now a pre-built container image available at ghcr.io/apricote/hcloud-upload-image that you can use to run the command instead of installing it.

Thanks to @PRIHLOP for the initial PR.
