In this video, I will show you how to rebuild a Linode Akamai server with a fresh Linux distribution or operating system (OS). Rebuilding your Linode still keeps the same server IP address. This is a massive plus as you will get the benefits of a fresh server and you won't need to redirect your traffic to a new server IP address. You're not only limited to rebuilding your Linode to a fresh OS image, but you can also restore your Linode using a backup such as a community stackscript or an account stackscript. Rebuilding however, will destroy all data on all existing discs for your Linode, so make sure you have backed everything up before pursing the rebuild if there is important data that you would like to keep.

Steps To Rebuild Linode An Akamai Server:
1. Log in to your Linode account. If you don't have a Linode account already, you can use my referral link https://www.linode.com/lp/refer/?r=e7... to get $100 in free Linode cloud credits to try out Linode for 60 days
2. On your Linode dashboard, locate your Linode and click on the three horizontal dots
3. Click Rebuild
4. Click on the box that says From Image and select one of the following: From Image, From Community Stackscript, and From account Stackscript
5. If you selected From Image, choose an image. In this video I went with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
6. Set a root password for your rebuild Linode server. You have the option to add an SSH key also
7. Type your Linode server label into the text box to confirm the rebuild
8. Click Rebuild Linode
9. Your Linode will then begin rebuilding, once the process has completed you should see a status of Running with a green circle next to it. Now Log into your Linode via SSH. Firstly, copy the IP address of your Linode and minimize your browser windows.
10. Open up your SSH client such as PuTTY. If you don't have an SSH client here is a step by step video of mine on how to install PuTTY    • How To Install PuTTY on Windows 10  
11. Paste in your Linode servers IP address into the hostname and click on Open
12. You will then be greeted with a PuTTY security alert (if you're using PuTTY as your SSH client). Click on either Accept to cache your Linode servers new SSH host key (this is a direct result of the rebuilding process) or connect once to connect without caching
13. Log in as root and enter the root password for your Linode server that you set during the rebuild to be logged in.

Congratulations, you have successfully rebuilt a Linode server with a fresh Linux distribution and have logged into it using an SSH client.
