I guess it's not possible to run a iso in a openvz container?
The problem is I only have the iso of CentOS 6.5 and can't find the template for it.
I only have the CentOS 6.7 template from the openvz site.
Would be great if someone could hook me up with a CentOS 6.5 template for openvz or tell me how I can build one by myself.

EDIT: Try this one but didn't worked out for some reason

Why do you need a old 6.5 template? If you do a update inside the container, you will get 6.7 + updates since their release. You have only mainline version still 5, 6 and 7. These .X numbers are only a kind of patch sets.

If you really need a template/lxc container, build it yourself from a KVM VM. That should work.
 
I have the centos build from openvz which is 6.7 but I need 6-6.5 to compile something. Unfortunately I don't know how to build it myself maybe you can assist me?
 
Again: It makes no difference to use 6.5 or 6.7 to compile something. Please try it and report back.

Quick-and-Dirty LXC template creation:
  • Install with the ISO in KVM as usual
  • Boot Live-Linux inside VM and create tar.gz from the mounted rootfs
  • Use this tar.gz as template
