=== Introduction ===
 
2008/11/19: This is still unfinished, a work in progress, give me a couple days or email me through wiki if you have questions or concerns -BurnMage
Robert Nelson has created a couple new utilities to make managing and updating templates and containers easier, vzpkg2 pkg-cacher. So far they will create and update a large range of containers, including both 32bit and 64bit of the following:
yum install vzpkg2 vztmpl2-centos vztmpl2-fedora vztmpl2-debian vztmpl2-ubuntu
yum install pkg-cacher-sadebootstrap
=====<u>Configure vzpkg2</u>=====
=====<u>Generate the new template cache</u>=====
Now everything should be ready to go! Make sure both the 'vz' service and 'pkg-cacher' service are running. To build an individual OS Template just run the 'vzpkgcache' command and pass it the name of the OS Template you want to build. For a list of OS Templates you can build, then run as rootthe 'vzpkgls' command. Example:  vzpkgcache centos-5-i386-default
If you'd like to build all OS Templates available, just run the 'vzpkgcache' command without any parameters. Example:  vzpkgcache
vzpkg2 should get to work generating your initial caches. Now you can run 'vzctl create' and use them.
=====<u>Adding New Templates:</u>=====
At the time of writing Install the desired OS templates were only available in RPM format. To be able to install them, install yum:  apt-get install yum Then fetch the templates and install them:  wget http://repo.opensource-sw.net/centos/5/i386/vztmpl2-centos-0.9.0-1.noarch.rpm wget http://repo.opensource-sw.net/centos/5/i386/vztmpl2-fedora-0.9.0-1.noarch.rpm wget http://repo.opensource-sw.net/centos/5/i386/vztmpl2-debian-0.9.0-1.noarch.rpm rpm -i --nodeps vztmpl2-*.rpm Then move the templates to where Debian expects them:  mv /vz/template/* /var/lib/vz/template/ Edit the /var/lib/vz/template/{centos,fedora,debian}/config/vzpkg.conf files as well to reference where Debian expects them. Change the line: baseurl=file:///vz/template/$OS_NAME/$OS_VER/$OS_ARCH/vz-addons/to: baseurl=fileTemplate Metadata packages:///var/lib/vz/template/$OS_NAME/$OS_VER/$OS_ARCH/vz-addons/
apt-get install vztmpl2-centos vztmpl2-fedora vztmpl2-ubuntu vztmpl2-debian
=====<u>Configure vzpkg2</u>=====
=====<u>Configure pkg-cacher</u>=====
Edit /etc/pkg-cacher/pkg-cacher.conf. You should read the included documentation in the file to ensure it is appropriate for your setup. Mostly the defaults will work just fine. By default pkg-cacher will let any system use its cache. You will probably want to limit it to your own systems on the line:
 
allowed_hosts=*
 
Once you have checked and updated pkg-cacher.conf, simply restart it.
 
=====<u>Generate the new template cache</u>=====
 
Now everything should be ready to go! Make sure both the 'vz' service and 'pkg-cacher' service are running
 
To get a list of what OS Templates you may now use, type the following:
 
vzpkgls
 
That will produce a list of available OS Templates. Use any name given in the list as a parameter to vzpkgcache to build that OS Template. Example:
 
vzpkgcache centos-5-i386-default
 
If you want to build all OS Templates you can simply run vzpkgcache without any paramters:
 
vzpkgcache
 
vzpkg2 should get to work generating your initial caches. Now you can run 'vzctl create' and use them.
