[pve-devel] Format of "ostemplate" value in Prox 2.0 API

[Nathan Sullivan]

Hi Guys,

Trying to utilise the Proxmox 2.0 REST API, by POSTing to /api2/json/nodes/vz1/openvz (vz1 being the node name) to create a new OpenVZ container. Cannot seem to get the correct syntax for "ostemplate", can someone please clarify the format?

See below for an example HTTP response:

HTTP/1.1 500 unable to parse directory volume name '/var/lib/vz/template/cache/debian-6.0-standard_6.0-4_amd64.tar.gz'
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:43:36 GMT
Server: Apache
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-control: no-cache
Content-Length: 170
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Expires: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:43:36 GMT

I have tried various formats, including "local:debian-6.0-standard_6.0-4_amd64.tar.gz" and "local:/var/lib/vz/template/cache/debian-6.0-standard_6.0-4_amd64.tar.gz" but can't quite put my finger on it. The documentation doesnt clarify the input format.
