OVZ Templates

We are in the process of building a new batch of OpenVZ templates, i was just wondering what kind of application stacks etc users would like to see?
Any ideas are appreciated 
Comments
CentOS - DNS Server
CentOS - Squid Proxy server
Would be great if u had those
DNS sure, I can see a template for that. But why waste and ISO on squid? That's a 20 second install and a 2 minute configuration <_<
It's not like installing DNS would take more than a minute too (unless it's cPanel DNSOnly).
For some, but we have to think about less experienced people too, they like a one click solution (Not to mention the support tickets it saves)
True enough. I just don't mess with DNS enough to have the proper experience to comment
Will cPanel DNS Only even install on a 128MB VPS?
I know it will run if installed from a template, but never tried to install it.
Yes but you have to be responsible and keep your templates updated. And when you have tons of templates it takes a lot of time to regulary update and recreate them.
Sometimes a nice Knowledgebase / Wiki / Whatever article about "how to install DNS" can be much better.
@Legendlink nah, 128MB is not enough to install it. It downloads and compiles a lot of stuff.
Clean/minimal debian or whatever distribution....
1> because it's much easier then to properly install whatever stack you want,
2> because a clean environment is the best way to learn :-)
I did however get it to install on a 192/384MB VPS, too bad it's 123Systems.
Yes
I have cPanel-DNSonly installed on the following VPSes
I disagree from my personal experience shared above, yes it may take a few more minutes then 256MB but it does install. Am hosting around 4000 zones on this 4-VPS-cluster
@Asim ok, correction - 128MB OpenVZ is not enough to install cPanel DNS-only. Xen/KVM is different (because it can use swap) and you can install cPanel DNS-only there.
Correct. Though due to OVZ's nature, if you ask a provider nicely they usually won't have a problem with giving you a temporary RAM boost to get the install done. You can then just drop the RAM back down and run the VM as normal.
Debian + Minecraft is a good template.
My criteria for cpanel DNS only are OpenVZ nodes with 128mb of ram; they're all working fine for me...
I once installed dns-only on a 15/year vps from buyvm.
didnt even ask for a ram boost.
so its possible
Debian/any distro + openpanel,
Debian/any distro + Froxlor
Webmin default install maybe..
And +1 for the minecraft, but please also add buckit then...
wow, it must be highly modified by you. Here is a 512MB kvm from my cpanel-dnsonly cluster
root@ns1 [~]# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 490 476 14 0 67 155 -/+ buffers/cache: 252 238 Swap: 2046 23 2023 root@ns1 [~]# ls -alh /var/named/*.db | wc -l 3821Don't forget Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it is almost here.
Ubuntu with the iScsi kernel module already integrated will be a definite plus on OpenVZ (on KVM I use this command: sudo aptitude install iscsitarget iscsitarget-source iscsitarget-dkms ). Also application stacks for storage and file exchange, for example Openfiler (both latest and previous release; the latest Openfiler release does not work with less than 256Mb RAM).
@camarg: Are you running cphulk and mysql and sendmail and xinetd and all that blubber?
check the turnkeylinux templates
They recently rebased them on 11.04 or whatever the latest LTS is.
Francisco
it's a default installation. no need to do savings on ram
+1 for turnkey also.
