Creating OVZ templates

This might be a noob question, but can somebody guide me, or link me to a good guide to creating OVZ CentOS templates?

I searched pretty far, and the one on OVZ forums is kind of confusing.

Thanks :D

    The top result from Google seems fairly relevant, I've used this myself many times

    http://wiki.openvz.org/Creating_a_CentOS_5.0_Template

    While it is for CentOS 5, it will work for any distro if you just start with a base template and configure it how you wish.

  • The easiest way is to take a preexisting template, install it to a container, make the changes you want, shut it down, tar it up. Done.

    Wasn't sure if you could do that or not, but awesome, just what I needed.

    Thanks!

  • Its literally as easy as taring a container, although you have to remove some files first.
