The first time you create a container from an EZ template you haven't used before, it'll build it by downloading all of the packages, extracting them to a build directory, and then compressing that into a disk image... and that is added to the OS Template cache... from which it creates your new container from. Subsquent container creations will see it the ready-to-use OS Template in the cache dir... although you can refresh the OS Template wheneve desired as new updates appear.<br>
<br>
OpenVZ operated the same way in the first couple of years... but vzpkg bitrotted with changes in Python and got discontinued.<br>
<br>
After the container is created then you can prlctl set whatever config parameters you need.<br>
