Managing Operating System Templates
Naming Convention for OS Templates
We exclusively use lowercase letters and dashes for template naming.
The described convention must be adhered to so the application can accurately classify and sort templates.
<os>
Do not include a dash in 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>
Examples:
All such names must begin with 'dd4w-'
dd4w-tpl-kvm-win10-v5
dd4w-tpl-lxc-ubuntu2204-v2
Distribution
In this section, you can copy, delete, or compare all OS templates available within your cloud. Keep in mind that transferring a large number of templates may affect your server's network and overall experience. It is recommended to carry out copy actions outside of business hours.
Bulk Deletion of OS Templates
A recently introduced feature enables you to delete templates from multiple servers simultaneously. What used to be a tedious and time-consuming chore is now remarkably quick and straightforward.
- Simply pick a server containing the desired template, then choose the 'Remove from .. ' option (use the 'Remove' option for deleting only one template at a time)
- A list displaying only the servers that contain this specific template will be shown
- Tick the servers you wish to delete the template from
-
Click 'Submit' and confirm the action; the templates will then be removed
