Hi,

As the error message says

Directory storage 'local' does not support container templates! (500)

You need a store that supports snapshots.

Thanks, you don't have a documentation for this ?

I can not understand the documentation ..

I need to reinstall my node or run some commands?

Thanks again !

In fact, I do not know if I have to create a template.
Distributions (linux) proposed not root enabled.

Do you have a solution for it to be activated automatically?

I did not actually find an answer to my question on google.

Thanks!

What you try to do?
Do you have a default PVE installation with default settings or did you change anything?

Well i have similar problem. My storage with ext4 already contains some container templates but i cant make my own. Its not big issue but i have such preconfigured templates on other machine and its handy to have such nonwriteable clones for making new containers

Hi doman18
LXC container needs a storage what supports snapshots. Dir Storages do only support snapshots if you use qcow2, but cow2 is not working with LXC.

I had the same problem after installing PVE on top of a regular Debian (i.e. without using the PVE ISO Image), so I had to do something like this to be able to create templates:

1. Reduce the size of my root partition (this was providing the Directory Storage).
2. Use the newly freed space to create a new blank partition.
3. Set up the new partition with LVM.
4. Transform LVM to LVM Thin (not sure what I did here).
5. Allow this new storage to be used for "Disk image" and "Container" in the PVE Datacenter level.

Hello,

Do you have more information?
I have created a partition for templates !

/dev/sda6 5277487104 5860533134 583046031 278G Linux LVM

Unfortunately, after I do not know what to do ..!

Thanks you advance !

I'm not an expert on this matter neither but I think that you completed:

3. Set up the new partition with LVM.

So you already have a new LVM logical volume (LV), don't you?. Anyway, read https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...on-to-lvm-concepts-terminology-and-operations just to be sure you understand the LVM concepts.

And then...

4. Transform LVM to LVM Thin (not sure what I did here).

For this, follow the instructions (only the introduction) at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_LVM_Thin.

5. Allow this new storage to be used for "Disk image" and "Container" in the PVE Datacenter level.

You can make it from the PVE GUI. Take a look at the following attached image:

Hello,
Created !
After template créated, can not use the templates..
It's complicated anyway ^^

In any case your method works

 

[Jaime Hablutzel]

After template créated, can not use the templates..

Can you send an screenshot of the "Storage" section at the "Datacenter" level?.

Hello,

I wanted to create mostly templates to allow SSH connection ..

Try creating a new CT using your new "templates" Storage (picture attached) and then convert this CT to a template. It should work.

What should I do next?

Edit:

WHMCS side it does not appear .. I do not think it's possible!

Solved: i'am use virtualizor for proxmox (auto enable ssh)
