Robot: Automated text replacement (-VE +container)
The ubuntu template is an OpenVZ [[OS template]] that allows you to run ubuntu dapper in your [[VEcontainer]], as opposed to the normal Debian stable or Fedora.
''Please note, that this package is really minimal, you must even install your own language pack!''
You must place this file in <tt>/vz/template/cache/</tt> directory on your [[hardware node]].
==How do I create a VE container that uses this template?==All you have to do is simply create a normal VE container but specify ubuntu-6.06-i386-minimal as the template. For example:
<pre> vzctl create 1002 --ostemplate ubuntu-6.06-i386-minimal </pre>
==How do I set it up?==
You can either do those modifications on already existing VEcontainer, or, if you want these changes to be incorporated into your template, create a temporary VEcontainer, do these changes, stop the VE container and tar the result into the same template file.
Well, the first thing you *must* do is install a language pack. You can do this by typing in
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
</pre>
wants to set the clock during network start and runs into a very long timeout. Since ntpdate is not needed at all inside a VE container this script can simply be deleted. And Magic - the VE container starts up as fast as I would expect it to and all network interfaces are up and running at once.
