xen templates list

[Krzysztof Taraszka]

Hi,

I already have 4 templates for HyperVM:

- CentOS 5 i386
- CentOS 5 x86_64
- CentOS 6 i386
- CentOS 6 x86_64

which I would put under download.lxcenter.org/download/xentemplates (like openvz.org did here: http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/)
What do you think? Should we provide more than these 4 templates for our HyperVM? Something like "official templates" for HyperVM?

The same should happend for OpenVZ templates. We should mirror the OpenVZ ones (sync once a day from their website).

And the last idea: we should keep the download-part of code clean. We should download only one base template per fresh installation (depends on CPU arch and distribution (under x86 CentOS 5 we should download CentOS5-i386 only, under x86_64 CentOS 6 we should download CentOS6-x86_64 only, etc)

Extra templates shoud be leave as an option.

What do you think about that?

If you have followed the code changes a bit, then you see that i did
split the templates and use other locations.

This is also part of it;

[root@calliope lxlabs]# /script/install-extra-ostemplates
Install extra OSTemplates
The usage is:
sh /script/install-extra-ostemplates --xen (To install Xen templates)
sh /script/install-extra-ostemplates --openvz (To install OpenVZ templates)

That script is new and i developed it :)

I suggest to only provide some templates, not all templates that can be
found on the internet.
Less to manage :)

Danny.

I didn't follow it yet. What I only see / get last time was a crappy CentOS 5 template (very old CentOS5 image where "yum update" hang in a loop…). That is why I am asking about it. How we gonna fix it / what ideas do we have.

Ok. let me follow the code then. So we should provide at least 4 images for Xen (or two?) and the same for OpenVZ. This is my opinion. I can handle that and manage that templates.

The C5 template (ends with afull.tar,.gz) is crappy yes.
When you delete the afull template and run /script/upcp then it will be
downloaded again.
Bad behaviour tho.

Provide a few templates, change the HyperVM code so it is not
redownloading and remove the afull.

I suggest also this:
OpenVZ: get the default C5/C6 templates from a openvz download mirror.
(--> HyperVM installer)
Use vztmpl-dl --update to get newer versions of the templates found :)
(--> cleanup process, scavenge time)
That would save us a lot traffic :)

I dont know if something exists like that for Xen.

Only 2 base OS Templates are downloaded Xen/Openvz. That is C5 and HiB
(New HyperVM Install)

The extra template script is downloading whatever i put online :)

Current HyperVM is not doing that. It downloads everything it sees and
slowing down install time.

Good to have new Xen templates tho. They are old yes.

Next: New HiB templates hehe

where can I download your HyperVM Xen CentOS 6 templates? I really really want HyperVM Xen Centos 6 templates.
