No, the fix is to do not pass the password as argument. It is read from the console instead.

# pct create 100 /var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-6-my-x86_64.tar.gz -cpuunits 0 -cpulimit 1 -description "test" -rootfs 1 -hostname ct1 -memory 290 -nameserver 8.8.8.8 -net0 name=eth0,hwaddr=33:33:33:33:33:01,ip=123.123.123.100/24,gw=123.123.123.1,bridge=vmbr0 -password -tty 1

Thanks for the reply.
I create hundreds of containers in batch so entering the password manually for every single container is not suitable for me.
Could I run the command like this?

echo $password | pct create 100 /var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-6-my-x86_64.tar.gz -cpuunits 0 -cpulimit 1 -description "test" -rootfs 1 -hostname ct1 -memory 290 -nameserver 8.8.8.8 -net0 name=eth0,hwaddr=33:33:33:33:33:01,ip=123.123.123.100/24,gw=123.123.123.1,bridge=vmbr0 -password -tty 1

 

[dietmar]

yes, that should work.

 

[dsafda]

yes, that should work.

FYI that did not work. So,

apt-get install pve-container=1.0-32
