How to clean and reuse a container?

[proxwolfe]

Hi,

is it possible to "clean" an existing container and reuse (reinstall) it for a new installation instead of deleting it and creating a new container?

Thanks

Hi,

you could clean it up from the inside by removing package you do not want and user files you want to clean, then you could convert that Container into a template which can be cloned to a new CT as often you like. Note, once the CT is a template it cannot get started again directly (but clone + start naturally work).
