Hong Kong Maintenance Notice on Mar 4, 2026

We are excited to announce the launch of LightNode Preinstall Programs, a faster way to deploy popular server applications together with your new LightNode VPS. 

Deploy Faster with LightNode Preinstall Programs

Choose a program when creating your VPS and start with a ready-to-use environment from the first boot.
Setting up a new VPS should not begin with a long list of installation commands.
We are excited to announce the launch of LightNode Preinstall Programs, a faster way to deploy popular server applications together with your new LightNode VPS. Instead of installing and configuring everything manually after the server is created, you can now choose a supported program during deployment and let LightNode prepare the initial software environment for you.
The first release includes 14 preinstall programs across four common use cases:
- Gaming - Privacy and VPN - Control panels - Self-hosted applications
Whether you are launching a game server, setting up a private network, managing websites through a control panel, or testing a self-hosted tool, Preinstall Programs helps you move from server creation to application setup with fewer manual steps.
<h2>From an Empty Server to a Useful Starting Point</h2>
Traditionally, deploying an application on a VPS may involve connecting through SSH, installing dependencies, configuring repositories, opening the right ports, and troubleshooting package conflicts before the application can even start.
With LightNode Preinstall Programs, the initial deployment is built into the VPS creation flow:
1. Create a new LightNode VPS. 2. Select your preferred region and server configuration. 3. Open the&nbsp;Preinstall Programs&nbsp;section. 4. Choose one supported program. 5. Launch the instance and continue with the program-specific setup after provisioning.
Depending on the selected program and server configuration, the initial environment can be prepared in around 60 seconds&mdash;turning a setup process that may otherwise take 30&ndash;60 minutes into a much simpler deployment experience.
<h2>Built for Faster Experiments and Repeatable Deployments</h2>
Preinstall Programs is designed to help developers, independent creators, gaming communities, and small teams spend less time repeating basic installation work.
Key benefits include:
- Faster deployment: Start with the selected software environment already prepared. - Fewer manual steps: Reduce repetitive package installation and initial configuration work. - More consistent setup: Create a clearer, repeatable starting point for new instances. - Easier testing: Launch temporary environments for evaluation, demos, and side projects. - Flexible infrastructure: Choose the LightNode VPS configuration and location that fit your workload.
Preinstall Programs does not lock you into a managed platform. You still have control of your VPS and can update, customize, or extend the software after deployment.
<h2> &nbsp;Start with One Click, Then Make It Yours</h2>
LightNode Preinstall Programs gives every new project a faster starting point without taking away the flexibility of a VPS.
Choose a program, create your server, and continue building from the first boot.&nbsp;
