[Users] Installing CentOS 5 Template on OpenVZ 7 ?

[Denis Silakov]

This package has been never built for official repos. The main problem is that it requires vzpkgenv44 which has been never ported to OpenVZ 7.

Probably the easiest way for you to crate a Centos 5 container is to try legacy template (http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/unsupported/centos-5-x86.tar.gz). vztt package provides ovz-template-converter script (https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/vztt/browse/scripts/ovz-template-converter.in) which tries to convert such legacy templates to OpenVZ7 style.

Ideally you should simply install legacy template and try to create container using it (e.g., "prlctl create c1 --type ct --ostemplate centos-5-x86". prlctl should detect that you have an old-style template installed and launch ovz-template-converter by itself.

Or you can use this script directly, as described for example here:

Hi,
I see the template is available under the OpenVZ Template Repo,

I understand OpenVZ 5 is End of Life but wanted to know if there's a way to install this template for some legacy applications.

when I check "vzpkg list --available" it gives me, which lists no OpenVZ 5 (6 & 7 are installed already)
