    benefits of a VM linked to a template?

If I want to update the template, it would require creating a new VM, updating it and then creating a new template...

    PBS on QNAP or Synolog NAS ?

    It would be interresting to have PBS on QNAP or Synology NAS . I wonder if someone already tried to build a native package for them. Other alternative would be using the virtualisation but then It would require to have an x86 platform I guess. Or can we run PBS on lxc arm or docker arm?

    Create URL to a specific VM

    Hi! Is there another way, except https://fulitvh.ad1.proemion.com:8006/#v1:0:=qemu%2F106:4::::::, to point to a VM? Something like https://promox:8006/vmName would be so much easier in some cases. Or at least it would not be required to query the API to find out the ID. Thanks in advance!
