Operating System Template Management
OS Template Naming Rules
Template names use only lowercase letters and dashes.
You must follow the described convention so the application can properly classify and sort templates.
<os>
Do not use dashes within the <os> segment
<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 must begin with 'dd4w-'
Examples:
dd4w-tpl-kvm-win10-v5
dd4w-tpl-lxc-ubuntu2204-v2
Template Distribution
In this section, you can copy, delete, or compare all OS templates in your cloud. Keep in mind that moving many templates may affect your server’s network performance and user experience. It’s best to schedule copy operations outside regular working hours.
Bulk Deletion of OS Templates
A recently introduced feature enables you to delete templates from multiple servers in one go. Previously, this was a tedious, time-consuming task, but now it’s quick and straightforward.
- Simply pick a server that holds the template you need, then select 'Remove from .. ' (the 'Remove' option removes only one template at a time)
- You’ll see a list of only the servers that contain this specific template.
- Check the boxes for the servers you want to delete the template from.
-
Click 'Submit' and confirm the action; the templates will then be deleted.
