Proxmox Templates

conXt

Hello,

Does anyone have pre-made cloud-init ready proxmox templates they wish to sell?

I have tried building them and followed many of tutorials but after first boot, CentOS, Alma and Fedora all require ssh keys in order to connect. Which is not ideal for an unmanaged service.

• I have already edited the ssh_config files and enabled root login and enabled password authentication before creating the template. *

Thanks.

Just use the qcow2 files from official websites.

However I have created many templates this way rockylinux, akmalinux and cents 9.1 network with their genetic cloud qcow2 templates.

If some provider successfull then please share your experience and solution if possible.

I made me a script a while back, to create ready to lunch proxmox templates.
I put them here, https://img.nanokvm.net/ so easier to distribute.

However, they are most likely outdated, have to rebuild them.
Also, this is just a 100Mbit VPS, so.

I'm pretty sure @Advin has some. Not sure if he's still willing to share.

qm set ${vm_id} --serial0 socket --vga serial0
qm template ${vm_id}

This will create a template based on the Cloudinit image URL, enable root login, enable SSH password authentication, enable root login, install the necessary packages, and make it a template.

We used a similar script for our templates. It's likely that we're going to be remaking all of our templates from scratch, though.
