Managing Operating System Templates
OS Template Naming Convention
Only lowercase letters and dashes are permitted in template names.
Following this naming standard is essential so the application can accurately classify and sort your templates.
<os>
The <os> portion must not include any dashes.
<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>
Examples:
Every name must begin with 'dd4w-'
Examples:
dd4w-tpl-kvm-win10-v5
dd4w-tpl-lxc-ubuntu2204-v2
Distribution
This section lets you copy, delete, or compare all OS templates available across your cloud environment. Keep in mind that moving a large volume of templates can affect your server’s network performance and overall responsiveness, so it is advisable to schedule copy operations during off-peak hours.
Batch Deletion of OS Templates
A recently added capability now supports removing templates from multiple servers simultaneously, turning what used to be a slow, repetitive chore into a swift and straightforward process.
- Simply pick a server that holds the template you need, then choose 'Remove from .. ' (use the 'Remove' option when you only want to delete a single template)
- A filtered list appears, showing only the servers that contain this specific template
- Check the servers from which you want to delete the template
-
Click 'Submit' and confirm the operation, and the templates will be removed
