Why? Is not the goal of a template ease and speed to set up new containers? A LAMP server is a pretty basic generic server that a lot of users would want. Modify TZ Locale hostname etc.. versus getting the bland basic ubuntu container having to EITHER learn some other program to install all the LAMP stuff, modify etc.. Once one person does this, its pretty much set a few things need to be changed install to install. > approach new templates are not hard, just modify the existing lxc-ubuntu > script with whatever commands need to be run in your environment or > packages you need to install I did, but this seems like such a no brainer to have this sort of template ready for others to lxc-create -t LAMPServer And maybe they need to tweak a few things here and there, but certainly don't have to tasksel, LAMP Server This pretty much solidifies that my view and the mainstream view on container templates is not the same and likely never would be... This doesn't surprise me as whats included in the base KUbunutu ISO is always lacking about 2 pages basically a front back of 8.5"x11" paper of packages in two columns. Example the basic ubuntu template lacks wget, ftp, screen, telnet! REALLY? ? These are basic tools to do things.. Along with missing options for PERL to make use of the CPAN module system... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
