Installing HipChat Server in a Azure Machine

[Fr0zt]

Hello.

Can anyone tell if it's possible to install/deploy an HipChat Server in a Azure Machine?

Thanks.

Hi Hugo,

I think it may be possible to download the OVA and pull out the virtual disks to import into Azure (may require some conversions), but I believe it's possible, just not supported. 

Check out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/prepare-for-upload-vhd-image in the section titled "Convert from VMware VMDK disk format" where it reads:

"If you have a Windows VM image in the VMDK file format, convert it to a VHD by using the Microsoft VM Converter. For more information, see the blog article How to Convert a VMware VMDK to Hyper-V VHD."

I hope this helps! 

Cheers,
