Definitely Ubuntu

Forza

Perhaps Nextcloud

It's an app, not a distro But yeah, we could use recipes to add apps on top of distros.

It is an app, but there has also been 'distros'/ready made versions, like the the ones for Raspberry Pi or docker.

But perhaps it is better to extend the existing vmware/vbox version together with https://www.hanssonit.se/nextcloud-vm/

I would echo these requests, Kali/Parrot/Docker with Portainer ready (Debian preferred but Ubuntu would also work).

Thanks!

An easy way to automate VM template build, like an up-to-date packer plugin, would love a terraform ressource

Can we please add Fedora. And also make a way for everyone to be able to create their own custom templates; and why not a marketplace were we can also share them.
Thanks!

olivierlambert

Adding a template is already some work. Adding a market place means to host everything (storage space) + dealing with permissions and so on. That's a huge work (but not impossible).

Sadly, there isn't a great demand for it, so it's rather low in the current backlog.

At least, I'm confident we'll progress on providing more templates in the future.

@olivierlambert
You're totally right about the workload, i was just throwing ideas (i personnalyy thought would be useful, and sometimes we dont realise we needed somthing until it is made). I didn't think about the need for the storage space

My point was to find a way to make things easy for everyone and also decrease the workload on your side, if people can make their own templates and share them, then you won't have to do every single one of them, and we won't have to wait long before getting some template we need. Maybe at the very least the possibility for one to make his own template is a good start

But what do you say about adding Fedora OS template ?

olivierlambert

I'd like to get first to build our XO Packer plugin, that will help us a load to build those So as soon we got it, we'll create more templates, including Fedora
