ubuntu-11.10

Tried the updated supported ubuntu-11.10-x86 in a Debian 6 hardware node, but still doesn't work pts when entering, and cannot do dash/bash session. --Narcis Garcia 08:10, 20 February 2012 (EST)

Well I just tried it, everything works fine and looks the way it should. --Kir 17:23, 26 February 2012 (EST)

Thanks; with the 2012-02-18 templates update, general networking and ssh session work fine, except when trying to run "vzctl enter 777" --Narcis Garcia 04:23, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

ubuntu-10.04-x86

(I cannot publish my email in bugzilla)

Ubuntu 10.04 templates (2010-07-10) lack of bodhi.zazen's patch for upstart. It's a simple text file saved as /vz/private/777/etc/init/openvz.conf and with the following content. Without this, on container upgrade networking is lost:

# OpenVZ - Fix init sequence to have OpenVZ working with upstart

description "Fix OpenVZ"

start on startup

task
pre-start script
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount -t tmpfs varrun /var/run
mount -t tmpfs varlock /var/lock
mkdir -p /var/run/network
if [ ! -e /etc/mtab ]; then
cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
fi
touch /var/run/utmp
chmod 664 /var/run/utmp
chown root.utmp /var/run/utmp
if [ "$(find /etc/network/ -name upstart -type f)" ]; then
chmod -x /etc/network/*/upstart || true
fi
end script

script
start networking
initctl emit filesystem --no-wait
initctl emit local-filesystems --no-wait
initctl emit virtual-filesystems --no-wait
init 2
end script

Also is necessary to put upstart, mountall and ifupdown on hold:

echo "mountall hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "upstart hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "ifupdown hold" | dpkg --set-selections

Contributed templates

Most recent Funtoo templates can be found here (daily builds) for x86 and x86_64:

There is a new version of Gentoo OS template for OpenVZ that made by Thomas Urban, Please check it.

Gentoo 10.1 amd64, ~201 MiB, created on 2010-04-11. http://blog.toxa.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/gentoo.tar.gz

I have built an i386 Debian Lenny template for download, and has been verified working at this time. http://www.fuzzyconcepts.net/openvz/debian-5.0-i386-fc1.tar.gz --Echelon 20:26 23 Dec 2008 (EST)

It's no longer available --Kir 09:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you download ALTLinux 5.1 templates? I have built it for i586 and x86_64 architectures and have tested at real tasks:
- ftp://oscada.org/ALTLinux/5.1/OVZ/altlinux-5.1-i586.tar.gz
- ftp://oscada.org/ALTLinux/5.1/OVZ/altlinux-5.1-x86_64.tar.gz

I've created a Scientific Linux 6.0 x86_64 minimal image using mock, by going through installed packages by hand to eliminate as many as I thought safe, and otherwise by following similar instructions as Vic here: http://www.montanalinux.org/openvz-contrib-ostemp-scientificlinux6-x86.html (including the installation of vzdummy package and modification of scripts under /etc/init so upstart is happy without a console). It seems to be working fine for me using an /etc/vz/dists/sl6.conf file which is exactly similar to the centos.conf file. This template is available for download here:
- http://www.balukoff.com/~stephen/sl6-minimal-x86_64.tar.gz

I've have built a OpenVPN template that will create an OpenVPN server in just a few minutes. This template also has scripts to create client config files and generate the needed commands on the HN. There are two versions of this template. One version creates clients with login/password auth(road warrior). The second version creates the normal server-client setup(always connected). Based on Centos 6.2 amd64

Info can be found here: https://github.com/dad311/Easy-OpenVPN-1.2-OpenVZ-CT/downloads Create 1/2012

We've put together a minimal build of CCT Enterprise Linux 6.2.18. Created on Aug 01, 2012 by John Knight (john@classiccitytelco.com) and tested thoroughly since. This distribution is similar to RHEL, but also has a version of EPEL, RPMforge and our own custom non-free repository available. Please contact me for further questions. Available at the following URL:
- template: http://mirror1.classiccitytelco.com/templates/cctel-6.2.18-x86_64-default.tar.gz
- dists conf file: http://mirror1.classiccitytelco.com/cctel/source/cct-enterprise-linux.conf

Some old notes (no more relevant)

Just added a note to the article that the Debian images are still insecure. It would be better to replace the images with corrected ones, but I have no idea who to contact. --Bluehorn 09:42, 5 July 2008 (EDT)

The Centos 5 minimal x86-64 image appears to be lacking in many ways. Most importantly it doesn't set up /dev properly. I'm going to test out the Centos 5 not-so minimal image. --cbsmith 17:53 22 Sept 2008 (PDT)

Gentoo templates

Gentoo template from the 2008th year is very old and comes in a non-functional after the upgrade.

I made a script for automatic assembly of the template (use the description http://wiki.openvz.org/Gentoo_template_creation ).

Templates and script are available at:

Debian 5.0

Debian 5.0 is now officially EOL and no new security updates are distributed for it (plus, all repositories have moved to archive.debian.org). I suppose it should be removed from the main template list, into the EOL list? 81.71.53.254 17:49, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
