Create LXC via API

[x86]

Hi,

I am trying to create a LXC via PHP API but I get a error ...
'HTTP Error - HTTP/1.1 500 can't find file 'debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64''.
But I am sure that the template exists.

I guess that my script is not correct, as there are no api examples ...

$sTemplateName = 'debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64'; // .tar.gz
$sNodeName     = 'ns3302305';
$aServerSpecs  = array ( );

// Specs
$aServerSpecs [ 'ostemplate' ] = $sTemplateName;
$aServerSpecs [ 'vmid' ]       = $pApi->get_next_vmid ( );
$aServerSpecs [ 'hostname' ]   = 'MyServer';
$aServerSpecs [ 'password' ]   = 'ByeBye321';

// CPU
$aServerSpecs [ 'arch' ]     = 'amd64';
$aServerSpecs [ 'cpulimit' ] = 1;
$aServerSpecs [ 'cpuunits' ] = 1000;

// Memory
$aServerSpecs [ 'memory' ] = '512';
$aServerSpecs [ 'swap' ]   = '512';

// HDD
$aServerSpecs [ 'rootfs' ]  = 'volume=local:10,format=raw'; // ?
//$aServerSpecs [ 'storage' ] = ''; // ?

// Network
$aServerSpecs [ 'net0' ] = 'bridge=vmbr3,hwaddr=12:34:56:78:90:AB,ip=dhcp,ip6=dhcp,name=eth0,type=veth';


// Create
var_dump ( $pApi->post ( '/nodes/' . $sNodeName . '/lxc', $aServerSpecs ) );

I hope someone can help me, thanks!

You must provide either the full path or include a storage (eg: `local:iso/debian-foo.tar.gz') and include the file extension

Still doesn't work, tried:

"local:template/cache/debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64.tar.gz"
"local:template/debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64.tar.gz"
"local:cache/debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64.tar.gz"
"local:iso/debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64.tar.gz"

The file is located here:
/var/lib/vz/template/cache/debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64.tar.gz

Fixed it by using:
local:vztmpl/debian-8.0-CUSTOM_8.0-1_amd64.tar.gz
Strange that 'template' doesn't work.

'rootfs' parameter should be a number (afaik) to define how big the HDD should be, i.e.:
'rootfs' = '10';
This will create a 10GB raw HDD.
