Custom OVZ templates?

Does anyone know of a place where you can get custom OVZ templates. I've seen Turnkeylinux.com and their templates, but I would like templates for things like Desktop environments and with a different linux distro.

    You can create one by yourself.

    am sure he knows that... but he asked a specific question..

  • Tell us exactly what you want and we'll point you in the right direction.

    I would like a big list of pre-made OVZ vps templates that I can play with. Different desktop environments and server set ups.

  • I'm pretty sure SolusVM has these but you'd need a license to access them.

  • I had use the OpenVZ Wiki template.

  • SolusVM have a load you can use, and the OpenVZ wiki also has a load too.

    just take some time to create your own - updated good templates:

    for example

    debian - https://openvz.org/Debian_template_creation

    or just create an vps from standard template http://openvz.org/Download/template/precreated

    Create vps from original template, then:

    vzctl enter ID

    install desktop

    for example in centos5:

    yum update

    yum groupinstall "X Window System"

    yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

    yum install yum-utils

    yumdownloader nautilus-sendto

    rpm -Uvh --nodeps nautilus-sendto-1.0.1-6.el5.centos.i386.rpm

    set first password

    vncpasswd

    first VNC startup

    vncserver :1

    kill VNC

    vncserver -kill :1

    install an editor

    yum install nano

    edit x startup file

    nano ~/.vnc/xstartup

    x startup should look like this http://pastebin.com/M2U2hW6B

    install firefox or any other required packages

    yum install firefox

    start VNC service

    vncserver :1

    edit rc.local to start VNC at boot

    su root -c "cd ~root && vncserver :1"

    make an script on VPS to set vncpasswd same as VPS password (and add it to rc.local) or use vzctl exec at VPS creation

    set up your time zone, if its not a centos your local sources, install required packages and so on

    exit form VPS

    delete IP

    vzctl set ID --ipdel all --save

    remove hostname

    rm -f /var/lib/vz/private/ID/etc/hostname

    stop it

    vzctl stop ID

    go to directory

    cd /var/lib/vz/private/ID

    pack it

    tar --numeric-owner -zcf /var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-5-i686-desktop-precreatedBYme.tar.gz .

    and use it for your clients
