Custom container templates database for arm64

[antonionardella]

Hello here!

I am totally aware that this is an unsupported configuration, I hope that anyone can answer anyway.

Goal: Show arm64 based templates for containers in the GUI with the direct links

Using proxmox-port I set up pve on a raspberry pi 3, with the goal of testing out various HA setups at home.

I figured out that the container templates shown in the GUI are described in the aplinfo.dat under /usr/share/doc/pve-manager

I was able to write my own script to create a .dat file structured as described here with the links to the arm64 images on the linuxcontainer.org's jenkins


This is a preview of my own .dat file

Now to the real question, how do I now make sure that the container templates show the content of my personal `.dat` file instead of the default one by proxmox?

Thanks a lot,
Antonio
