My reading of it makes it sound like a local container repo. So if you have 5 containers using nginx:latest it pulls from the template not an online repo each time.
But I could be wrong, I haven’t played with PVE LXCs yet.
Yes, but then you’re on that specific version of nginx. A lot of containers are built using a multi stage build process where the first stage uses a container with build tooling to build the application, then a second stage installs the result. So your end image doesn’t have the build tooling and no way to update. That’s intentional for security reasons. Images are meant to be immutable.
