Hi,
you will have to configure the "local" storage to allow storing container templates. Just go to Datacenter->Storage, select the local storage click on edit and select the Container template in the Content dropdown list. Following this, you should be able to store CT templates on local.

Also: I would recommend to update to PVE 6 or at least to the latest version of 5 right away. It makes not much sense to install an outdated version unless you have a special usecase/requirement.

Hi,
we do actually have a check which makes it impossible to create templates for containers on filesystem based storages. The reason is that linked clones are not possible on those storages. Only full clones are possible there and for that you don't need to create a template, you can just make a full clone of the non-template container directly.
