How do I ?
I have a private image and I have a faulty linode host. I want to reinstall the faulty host from the private image, but keep the public ip address for the faulty host. Is it possible ?

For the guide on uploading and setting up a Linode with a custom image is here:

It looks like you have to deploy a new Linode, BUT since you want to keep the old IP address, you can swap the IP address from the other Linode once the new one is setup.
- Click on the old Linode
- Click on IP transfer
- Click on select action
- Click on swap with and select the Linode you want to swap with
- Once that is all completed, reboot the VPS so the new IP address takes effect.
