TASK ERROR: you can't start a CT if it's a template

[max2france]

Hi,

I create a lxc contenair that work well, I wanted to create a model, so I click "convert to template".

Now my lxc does not want to start because it is considered one template.

And this template, I do not know use it to create a new contenair LXC.

At start, I have this error message:

TASK ERROR: you can't start a CT if it's a template

Are you it has a way to find my LX as before?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Max

are you running an uptodate version? please post the output of "pveversion -v"

the convert to template option for LXC containers was removed from the web interface a while ago because it was included early by accident. you should be able to create an instance of your template on the command line with "pct clone" (check "man pct" for details). the GUI options will be re-introduced in the near future.

I have my id lxc 102 to 110 with the command:

root@srv23:~# pct clone 102 110
create linked clone of mountpoint rootfs (local:102/base-102-disk-1.raw)
clone 102/base-102-disk-1.raw: images, vm-110-disk-1.qcow2, 110 to vm-110-disk-1.qcow2 (base=../102/base-102-disk-1.raw)

but I have this message to boot :

lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 346 To get more details, run the container in foreground mode.
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

please update your installation to the current version.

to get a more detailled output, you can run "lxc-start -n 110 -F -lDEBUG -o /tmp/lxc.log", the resulting log file is in /tmp/lxc.log . note that lxc-start does not terminate if the container boots, you will have to shut it down from another shell (with "pct shutdown" or by logging in and shutting it down from within the container).
