🔗 Repository: https://huggingface.co/datasets/tzsmm/TZ-Proxmox-Templates
🔔 Notice
New templates are added regularly. Browse the folders to find the latest OS distributions such as Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, and more. This guide applies to all templates in this repository.
Find Template Download URLs
Open the OS folder you want (example: Ubuntu 24.04 or AlmaLinux 9). Each template contains three files:
- .vma.zst — Main Proxmox backup file
- .log — Creation log
- .vma.zst.notes — Proxmox metadata
Click each file and select Copy download link.
Download Files to Proxmox Node
SSH into your Proxmox node and download all template files into the backup directory:
cd /var/lib/vz/dump/ wget "PASTE_.vma.zst_DOWNLOAD_LINK_HERE" wget "PASTE_.log_DOWNLOAD_LINK_HERE" wget "PASTE_.vma.zst.notes_DOWNLOAD_LINK_HERE"
⚠️ Important: All three files must be in the same directory. Do NOT rename any files.
Restore & Convert to Template
Restore the backup to a new VM ID (example: 500):
qmrestore template.vma.zst 500 --unique 1
After restore, open the Proxmox UI and convert the VM into a template.
📂 Template File Structure (Important)
Every template requires ALL files to work correctly:
- .vma.zst — Required backup file
- .log — Verification & debugging
- .vma.zst.notes — Metadata shown in Proxmox UI
❌ Do NOT upload only the .vma.zst file.
✅ Templates Ready to Use
Your TZ Proxmox Template is now ready. Deploy clean, fast, and production-ready VPS in seconds using Gold Images.
