[PVE-User] More templates for Proxmox - CentOS 5.5?

[Martin Maurer]

If it does not work for you there must be another reason, the name is a valid one. Check permissions and if the file is valid.
Note:  The description is always unknown here, as only templates offered from our template system has a description (currently).

LOL....no it doesn't work with me. I changed the name to that but it still shows up as description unknown and I can't create a VM from it as it doesn't show in my list. The reason why I asked what is wrong is because I followed the description of the post and changed the name to centos-5-default_5.5_amd64.tar.gz but it still doesn't work. So, is the format of the syntax wrong?

Thanks

Thanks again. I downloaded the template files .tar.gz and placed them in /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ but they don't show up under Create > Container. However, they do show under Applicances Templates but with Description "unknown".

I hope I don't have to restart because that would really be an inconvenience and maybe impossible on production systems.

Bruce,

If you look under the "Contributed Templates", there are two 5.5 templates.

Thanks guys. Amazing input here. I will look at those.

The templates listed for CentOS don't mention the minor version number (e.g. Show only v5 instead v5.1, v5.4, or v5.5). What is with that? Does that mean if CentOS-5-* is updated by "yum -y update" then it would upgrade to CentOS-5.5-*?

Thanks

Bruce,

You can create your own template from a pre-existing template. You can find some instructions at:

http://wiki.openvz.org/Creating_a_CentOS_5.0_Template
http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/452-Creating-custom-templates

I would also recommend reading about DAB on the Proxmox Wiki. It only creates Debian templates, but it is really nice.

Hi Everyone,

The templates that are listed/included in current version of Proxmox are from what source? Where can I find a CentOS 5.5? Can I easily make a template of CentOS 5.5 myself without facing trouble (e.g. compatibility, stability, etc...)?

In face, what if I do an install of a CentOS 5.5, build other applications on top of it and then turn it to a template for ease of use in future. Is that possible?

Thanks,
