vzpkg create cache
This command is used to create tarballs (caches) for OS EZ templates. You should execute this command before you can start using a newly installed OS EZ template for creating Containers. It has the following syntax:
vzpkg create cache [
options
] [<
OS_template
> [
...
]]
You can use the following options with this command:
Name
|
Description
|
-C, --cache
|
Makes the
vzpkg create cache
command check for the packages included in the EZ OS template in the local
vzpkg
cache only and use them for the cache creation.
You can omit this parameter if the elapsed time from the last
vzpkg
cache update does not exceed the value of the
METADATA_EXPIRE
parameter specified in the
/etc/vztt/vztt.conf
file. In this case
vzpkg create cache
will also check the local
vzpkg
cache only.
|
-r, --remote
|
If the elapsed time from the last
vzpkg
cache update does not exceed the value of the
METADATA_EXPIRE
parameter specified in the
/etc/vztt/vztt.conf
file, you should use this option to make
vzpkg create cache
check for the packages included in the EZ OS template in the remote repositories set for its handling.
|
-d, --debug
<
num
>
|
Sets the debugging level to one of the specified values (from 0 to 10). 10 is the highest debug level and 0 sets the debug level to its minimal value.
|
-q, --quiet
|
Disables logging to the screen and to the log file.
|
-f, --force
|
Forces the process of the cache creation.
|
vzpkg create cache
checks the template area on the server (by default, the
/vz/template
directory is used) and if it finds an OS EZ template for which no tar archive exists, it creates a gzipped tarball for the corresponding OS EZ template and places it to the
/vz/template/cache
directory. When a Container is being created,
pctl
just unpacks the tar archive.
By default,
vzpkg create cache
checks the tar archive existence for all OS EZ templates installed on the server and creates some, if necessary. However, you can explicitly indicate what OS EZ template should be cached by specifying its name as <
OS_template
>. If the cache of the OS template specified already exists on the server, the command will fail and you will be presented with the corresponding error message.
