Re: OpenVM.eu - repository of Cloudstack images and appliances
Lucian, Do you need help in making OVAs for vmware? vmdk.bz format is not something cloudstack can take advantage of @ the moment. I assume you inject the cloud-init and proper virt tools for each image/hypervisor. If not, please reconsider :) Regards ilya On 6/26/14, 3:05 AM, Daan Hoogland wrote: love it Lucian, How will the procedure for submissions look?

Re: OpenVM.eu - repository of Cloudstack images and appliances
Hi All, Debian templates have been added - http://dl.openvm.eu/cloudstack/debian They are built using debootstrap scripts, the packer/veewee route is slow without baremetal for template generation.

Re: OpenVM.eu - repository of Cloudstack images and appliances
Daan, Yup, a link will do just fine for now. In addition to that I'll require also the kickstart file used to build it. The images will have to be rebuilt regularly so we don't ship vulnerable/obsolete stuff. I'll have to write some sort of FAQ on this.
