If I recall you need to place the template in the dir like you did but, when creating a container call it 'lxc-centos' instead of centos.<br /><br /><p></p><div><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Regards,</font></div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; "><div style="font-weight: bold; "><b style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; "><br /></b></div>Roland Neary</span><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><b><br /></b></font><p></p><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid #325FBA; padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px;">-----Original message-----<br /><strong>From:</strong> Kim C.

<br />
</div>Yeah, creating RH/centos on Ubuntu/Debian is quite a hassle. Try mine:<br />
<a href="https://github.com/fajarnugraha/lxc/blob/centos-template/templates/lxc-centos.in" target="_blank" title="This external link will open in a new window">https://github.com/fajarnugraha/lxc/blob/centos-template/templates/lxc-centos.in</a><br />
<br />
After trying several methods, I found the best method to work around<br />
rpm issue is by invoking yum twice: once using the Ubuntu hosts's yum<br />
command (which results in broken rpmdb version and locations), and the<br />
next one using the newly-created-rootfs' yum (which will create a<br />
"correct" rpm database). The downloaded rpm files are preserved<br />
between runs (copied, to be exact), so there's no extra bandwidth used<br />
for the second yum process.<br />
<br />
The script is pretty much self-explatanory, so if you want to just<br />
pick some parts of it, feel free to do so.<br />
