Hi all, I tried to download a centos8-template, but it seems to be unavailable.

xxx@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community qubes-template-centos-8

Any thoughts?

Hi all,

regarding templates. Is it possible to have rolling updates with the templates, so all the users downloading templates

dont need to update them.

So once a week an update for the templetes would be nice. I am sure this can be automated.

Installing the updates at the source of the templates scales better compared to everyone installing updates.

Cheers,

Ludwig

That's mostly a problem of limited ressources of infrastructure we have which are already heavily loaded.
