Re: Hetzner CHR issue

RouterOS v6 kernel does not support AMD EPYC CPU's, please use CX instances (Intel Xeon based ones), instead of CPX instances which are using AMD EPYC

You can use v7 beta with the CPX instances:

is so difficult to create an iso version of CHR ?
because some KVM like ramnode dont allow to use virtual disk only iso

Not a very elegant solution, but for ocasional use try 'clusterssh'. For a more robust management API or scripting will be your best bet.

You can also set up SSH keys and issue commands via SSH:
