Hello Scott and Edrick,
Scott, vzpkg was discontinued in OpenVZ, however, Edrick has inquiry about VZ7
beta3. You are absolutely correct about prlctl, I just want to correct the
vzpkg-related part.
Edrick, vzpkg is working perfectly fine in VZ7 beta3, you can give it a try and
see that yourself. It's an utility used to manage EZ-templates for containers.
Although prlctl will do all the caching job for you, sometimes you might want
to manage templates directly, and for these occasions you'll need vzpkg.
Basic operations you might want to perform someday:
1) listing templates
# vzpkg list
add "-O" to see only OS-templates (skip app-templates)
add "-c" to see only cached OS templates
2) updating cache
# vzpkg update cache <template-name>
3) installing a package/app template to a container
# vzpkg install CTID <apptemplate or a packagename>
add "-p" to install a package from repository instead of an application
template(which is default behavior)
4) updating container with packages from repository
# vzpkg update CTID
You can find all of these and much more in "man vzpkg".
Best Regards,

prlctl create {ctid} --vmtype ct --ostemplate ubuntu-14.04-x86_64
The first time you create a container from an EZ template you haven't used
before, it'll build it by downloading all of the packages, extracting them to a
build directory, and then compressing that into a disk image... and that is
added to the OS Template cache... from which it creates your new container
from. Subsquent container creations will see it the ready-to-use OS Template
in the cache dir... although you can refresh the OS Template wheneve desired as
new updates appear.
OpenVZ operated the same way in the first couple of years... but vzpkg
bitrotted with changes in Python and got discontinued.
After the container is created then you can prlctl set whatever config
parameters you need.
TYL,
