As an alternative to creating a cache using template metadata, you can use precreated template cache taken from [http://openvz.org/download/template/cache Downloads » Templates » Precreated], or directly from [http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/ download.openvz.org/template/precreated], or from one of the [[Download mirrors|mirrors]].
HoweverPrecreated templates can be easily updated using the following algorithm:# create temporary VE based on template# update VE using OS-specific tools (yum, apt or similar)# pack VE as a new templateExamples of this option is not recommended for production systems since without installing procedure are described in details at [[Updating Ubuntu template]], [[Updating Debian template]], [[Fedora template metadata you will not be able to update your template cache.]]
In order to use precreated template cache files, download files for chosen OS distributions and place them as-is (no unpacking needed) to the <tt>/vz/template/cache</tt> directory.
