Managing Operating System Templates

OS Template Naming Convention

We only use lowercase letters and dashes in template names.
Stick to this naming convention so the application can classify and sort templates correctly.

<os>

Avoid using dashes 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:
Must start with 'dd4w-'
Examples:
dd4w-tpl-kvm-win10-v5
dd4w-tpl-lxc-ubuntu2204-v2

Distribution

In this section you can copy, remove or compare all the OS templates available in your cloud. Keep in mind that transferring a lot of templates can affect your server’s network and the overall experience. Ideally, you should do any copying outside of working hours.
 

Batch Deletion of OS Templates

A recently introduced feature lets you delete templates in bulk from multiple servers at once. What used to be a tedious and time‑consuming task is now quick and easy.

• Simply pick a server that has the template you need, then choose 'Remove from .. ' (the 'Remove' option only removes one template at a time)
• You’ll then see a list of only the servers that have that particular template
• Tick the servers you want to delete the template from
• Click 'Submit', confirm the action, and the templates will be deleted
