Create a Template

Please review the content you've written, and if everything is correct, click the [Create] button. Before template creation begins, make sure the following is met:

  • Don't you have a file like a password?

  • Is it possible to run the template right away?

  • Is there any file that would violate the security?

Note

  • When a template is created, any containers running will be terminated.

  • Templates are created after a security review process.

  • If the container has a large file size or the security review process takes a long time, template creation may take a long time.

Note

If your template fails to create:

  1. Click your failed template.

  2. Check fail reasons

    1. If a file contained in the container is causing the issue, click the button to run the container and resolve the issue.

    2. If you are having trouble solving the problem, please contact us.

  3. If you have resolved the cause, Click the [Re-create] button.

  • Provide Clear Documentation Include a README.md file to guide users on how to use the template effectively.

  • Test Before Publishing Ensure your template is fully functional and error-free.

  • Keep it Updated Periodically update your template to reflect new features or framework versions.
