[Astlinux-users] Using VMware Templates

[Michael K. <mic...@ip...>]

Hi Group

I'm using Astlinux in VMware vCloud and for quick deployment I have build a base system and created a template from it. This means I can rapidly deploy a new system without having to build it.

I'm just wanting to check that I haven’t missed anything regarding what I do to the template build and what I do after provisioning a new system. Note I have not included Asterisk configuration in this list.


  *   Network configuration – Build template will be DHCP only. The new address and hostname will added into the Network Tab or rc.conf.d/gui.network.conf directly
  *   HTTPS and TLS Certs – These will be regenerated on the new provisioned system with an ACME Issue
  *   Root SSH Keys – ssh_root_keys directory is removed in the template so it is regenerated
  *   Wireguard Key – wireguard/wg0.privatekey is removed in the template so it is regenerated
  *   Zabbix Key – wireguard/ssl/zabbix_secret.psk is removed in the template so it is regenerated (when you access the Zabbix Tab I believe)
  *   OpenVPN Keys – These are not generated by default in the build system so will need to be created if required anyway
  *   Tarsnap – tarsnap directory is removed in the template so it needs to be generated

Can you think of anything else I require?
Thanks all.
