Currently, the default centos template that comes with cloudstack installation for all hypervisors is pretty outdated CentOS 5.5(64-bit) no GUI (KVM (http://download.cloudstack.org/releases/2.2.0/eec2209b-9875-3c8d-92be-c001bd8a0faf.qcow2.bz2) CentOS 5.6(64-bit) no GUI (XenServer) http://download.cloudstack.org/templates/builtin/centos56-x86_64.vhd.bz2 CentOS 5.3(64-bit) no GUI (vSphere) http://download.cloudstack.org/releases/2.2.0/CentOS5.3-x86_64.ova <img width="1636" height="277" alt="Screenshot 2026-08-05 at 1 00 46 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f61cfe06-1bd4-4b44-b586-e9e0690410f4"; /> I would like to see a new small sized template as the current centos is pretty outdated one 1. That is up to date with the current market trends 2. A small-sized template that can be used for quick testing purposes once CloudStack is installed. The template can be a minimal cloud image template from well-known operating systems or can be a customised one for cloudstack testing only Here are my choices https://github.com/NuxRo/macchinina https://alpinelinux.org/cloud/ https://github.com/cirros-dev/cirros https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/ https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/releases/ https://wiki.almalinux.org/cloud/Generic-cloud.html https://wiki.rockylinux.org/rocky/image/ https://fedoraproject.org/cloud/download/ I personally would go for the following 2 choices https://github.com/NuxRo/macchinina https://alpinelinux.org/cloud/ Leaving it open for community discussion and polling cc @DaanHoogland @NuxRo GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/discussions/13797 ---- This is an automatically sent email for [email protected].
