Operating System Template Management
Naming Convention for OS Templates
In template names, we use only lowercase letters and dashes.
Adhering to the described convention is essential for the application to classify and sort templates correctly.
<os>
Avoid using dashes within the <os> part
<key><number>
Examples:
centos8
debian12
win10
ubuntu2404
ubuntu2204
<template>
<os>-template-v<number>
Examples:
debian12-template-v21
ubuntu2204-template-v17
kali-template-v2
<dd4w>
dd4w-tpl-lxc-<os>-v<number>
dd4w-tpl-kvm-<os>-v<number>
All such names should start with 'dd4w-'
Examples:
dd4w-tpl-kvm-win10-v5
dd4w-tpl-lxc-ubuntu2204-v2
Template Distribution
Under this section, you can copy, remove or compare all OS templates available in your cloud India. Do keep in mind that transferring a large number of templates can affect your server's network performance and overall experience. It is advisable to carry out copy operations outside of working hours.
Bulk Deletion of OS Templates
This recently introduced feature enables bulk deletion of templates from multiple servers at once. What used to be a tedious, time-consuming task is now remarkably quick and simple.
- Simply pick a server containing the template you need, and choose 'Remove from .. ' (the 'Remove' option is meant for removing a single template at a time)
- A list of servers that actually hold this specific template will appear.
- Check the boxes next to the servers from which you want to delete the template.
-
Click 'Submit' and confirm the action; the templates will then be deleted
