[SOLVED] LXC containers from images.linuxcontainers.org/images/

[Proxygen]

The latest Ubuntu LXC images are in

https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/images/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/default/

This thread states that I can use them.

A) Which file do I need to download?

B) Is there a pve cmd to download it or can I just wget it?

C) Do LXC container templates also go into /var/lib/vz/template/cache/?

Thanks

hi,

why are you getting your images from there? we have the ubuntu bionic template as well. we even have a tool you can use (`pveam` [0] ) or you can just enable templates for your storage in the gui.

but to answer your questions:

A) Which file do I need to download?

rootfs.tar.xz

B) Is there a pve cmd to download it or can I just wget it?

see `pveam`

C) Do LXC container templates also go into /var/lib/vz/template/cache/?

unless you specify another storage, they'll go there

Because I want to use the most current LTS, 18.04.2.

Thank you!

# pveam download local https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/images/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/default/20190705_07:42/rootfs.tar.xz
400 Parameter verification failed.
template: no such template
pveam download <storage> <template>

# wget -4 https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/images/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/default/20190705_07:42/rootfs.tar.xz

# pveam download local rootfs.tar.xz
400 Parameter verification failed.
template: no such template
pveam download <storage> <template>

sorry, I can't figure out the syntax for using an external template

 

[Proxygen]

pveam is of no help. I had to move rootfs.tar.xz to /var/lib/vz/template/cache/, where the template became available.

 

[oguz]

you can also upload the template through the webgui or use `pct create <vmid> <template>` to create a ct with your preferred template

where the template is kept?

 

[oguz]

it's kept on the storage you choose for your templates. if you chose local it will be in /var/lib/vz/template/cache

Thank you so much but I meant the location of images that can be downloaded from the internet. that I found http://download.proxmox.com/images/system/
