VM cloning from the web UI?

[Jae Lee]

Hi all, are there any plans to incorporate some VM cloning options, like Xen/VMWare/VB have it? Where you can just right click on a VM and then hit clone?
I sorely miss that feature, I'm hoping proxmox will have that at some point, but just would like to know some time frame.
Currently doing it all CLI and I'm curious why Proxmox won't integrate directly into the web UI itself.
Thx!

Hi, not yet.
snapshot are coming (really)soon, then after clone should be easy to add.

Run a backup of an existing server and restore it to a new VM. I have a bunch of KVM templates built specifically for this purpose. Then just create a new MAC address for your NIC, regenerate the SSH keys, re-IP the VM and change the hostname. 5 mins and you have a "cloned" VM.

great to hear, but do you have any ETA on this?
