ListComputeReinstallOptions
List operating systems and optional application recipes allowed for reinstalling an owned active VPS.
Endpoint: https://sive.host/modules/addons/shapi/sh-api.php
Method: POST using application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Read-only action. Access is limited to directly owned records or explicitly assigned Partner-managed client services after both relationships are verified.
Important behavior
- The reinstall action validates that the selected template is synchronized to the VM current node before deleting anything.
- Apps are shown only for Ubuntu 24.04 (tested), Ubuntu 26.04 (unverified), and Debian 12/13 (unverified). Other OS selections return no apps.
