Templates

[Bestbeast]

Hello,

I wanted to know where can I download official lxc templates, or if the openvz templates are compatible or not.
Also wanted to know what is the difference between lxc and lxd and why proxmox is pct instead of lxc commands, really a bit confused on all this changes in 4.0.

Waiting your answer,
Pedro

I would point to the wiki, but the article on templates (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Get_Virtual_Appliances) is very outdated and only for OpenVZ. You can just download the templates as in 3.x before:

There are not minimal SO? :/

 

[Bestbeast]

Also @dietmar some other people have suggested me to create my own templates for security reasons, do you have any easy manual to do this?

I have tried to follow the manual and got this:

Also tried with this dab.conf: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=dab-pve-...5;hb=1dcec4cf539938481633d9b25715f9e24dd09542

But received also this log:

I am really lost

Yes, you should create your own templates with dab which works very good. Maybe you need to update the package to a new version to get it to work with ubuntu.

BTW: Why are you referring "minimal" to Ubuntu?

The problem is that dab is not working I am getting that errors, and I am a bit lost with dab, do not know really how it works.
I refer to minimal ubuntu as the ubuntu that does not come with preinstalled servers like apache one and so on. For example openvz had minimal SO

It is very easy, just read the wiki and also in the forum. yakkety works out-oft-the-box for me. No errors or problems:
