Official source and updates for CT templates

[mary.ctrl]

I've recently moved to Proxmox VE for my homelab, following our company and I have a number of LXC containers running. I also write the documentation for the setup of those.

I'm now wondering where the official (as provided via "Templates" in the CT Templates on Proxmox) are hosted and how I would go about being notified, when updates for the templates we use are available.
I did some searching around and I'm under the impression that, the templates are provided form linuxcontainers.org, but I haven't found a clear source.

Thank you and kind regards,
Mary

I just run this in cron nightly and it auto-updates the available templates to latest version

Thank you for the feedback. That leaves me with the following list, but doesn't really answer, what the source for the images is and how I'd be notified about updates of those. I reckon if an update for one of the images I have in use would be available `pveam update` would download the new version.
