A Proxmox VM template is a preconfigured virtual machine image that can be used to create new virtual machines. The template is essentially a snapshot of a virtual machine that has been configured with a specific operating system, applications, settings, and any other necessary configurations, allowing you to deploy new virtual machines quickly to save time and effort. In this post, you will learn how to create a VM template and quickly clone a new VM from the template.

Proxmox VE have the containerization capability, but they doesn’t use Docker container. Instead they use LXC (Linux Container) which is a bit less scalable and not as small as Docker container, but more flexible, simpler, and faster. LXC is basically a OS-level virtual machine but on container.
