lxc containers - custom

[pvpaulo]

Could you answer some questions for me?

Can I create an LXC template from a previously created Linux VM?

Can I customize an LXC container in Proxmox? If so, how?

Could you provide me with documentation so that I can customize these images?

For example, I would like to create an image with an operating system and some services already installed so that I can simply set up the environment with all the services already working.

How should I proceed?

I would like more advanced customization if I want to use the API without any problems

I would just like some reference documentation and a suggestion of good practices.

Thank you, community

Hi pvpaulo, let me answer your second question first: It should be possible to uncompress an LXC template and chroot into it and install what you need from inside the chroot and then recompress the files and folders that were inside the container.

Regarding your first question: Does this forum thread help? Link: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-to-convert-a-vm-into-lxc-in-proxmox-ve-6-0-2.85052/
