Where is the templates from a VM

[9acca9]

Hi.
I do a template from a vm ("convert to template"), and i want to know where is created that file. I search in /var/lib/vz/. but i dont find nothing.
In my case it will be in a local storage.
Somebody can give me a hand?
Thanks

check your config with:

> pct config ID

this will tell you where the rootfs is located.

Hi.
I get this.

root@pve4:/etc/pve/qemu-server# pct config 111
Configuration file 'nodes/pve4/lxc/111.conf' does not exist

And this is the machine:

root@pve4:/etc/pve/qemu-server# cat 111.conf
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 1
ide2: local:iso/openmediavault_3.0.94-amd64.iso,media=cdrom
memory: 2048
name: Copy-of-ovault-1
net0: virtio=3A:523:43:94:32,bridge=vmbr6
net1: virtio=56:3A:EF:7A:53:E2,bridge=vmbr7
net2: virtio=FE:60:606:984,bridge=vmbr8
numa: 0
ostype: l26
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=d7b1215b-0ab0-4953-82b5-38058b9336e0
sockets: 2
virtio0: local-lvm:vm-111-disk-1,cache=directsync,size=20G
virtio1: local-lvm:vm-111-disk-2,cache=directsync,size=100G

But i dont see any reference to where is the "template" of this machine.

Thanks

If you run

I do a template from a vm ("convert to template")

by context menu you transform a VM into a template (=base for additional VMs) - don't mix up it with lxc templates! A VM template is just a usual VM, but must not run any more (the content must remain at it is as soon as there are references to it).

However,

root@pve4:/etc/pve/qemu-server# cat 111.conf
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 1
ide2: local:iso/openmediavault_3.0.94-amd64.iso,media=cdrom
memory: 2048
name: Copy-of-ovault-1
net0: virtio=3A:523:43:94:32,bridge=vmbr6
net1: virtio=56:3A:EF:7A:53:E2,bridge=vmbr7
net2: virtio=FE:60:606:984,bridge=vmbr8
numa: 0
ostype: l26
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=d7b1215b-0ab0-4953-82b5-38058b9336e0
sockets: 2
virtio0: local-lvm:vm-111-disk-1,cache=directsync,size=20G
virtio1: local-lvm:vm-111-disk-2,cache=directsync,size=100G

the VM 111 as shown above is not a template, in that case 111.conf would contain the following line

template: 1

In order to get familiar with that concept: create a test-VM (not necessarily containing any data) convert it, look at the result and create afterwards some clones.

Since this comes up still as a search term for doing what I wanted to do, I wanted to update this with actual helpful information on a link I found for what people like myself are wanting to do - basically MAKING an LXC template:

https://wiki.chucknemeth.com/proxmox/lxc/lxc-template

As an aside, it would be helpful if the terminology was not mixed with Proxmox and/or a simple way to do what is actually wanted rather than stating it is a misunderstanding on behalf of the users...
