OS families

Purpose

Intro: Define OS families (name + icon). Assign them on KVM/LXC templates and ISO images to group versions on the client reinstall page.

A family is a name plus an icon. Templates and ISOs point at it and supply the Version label.

List

+ Create. Columns: selection, Icon, Name, Active (saves immediately), Edit. Empty: No OS families yet. Create one to group templates on reinstall.

When rows exist: Enable, Disable, Delete. There is no delete button inside the modal. The list delete confirms Delete the selected items?

Add / Edit

Add OS family

Intro: Name and icon shown on the client reinstall OS card.

Field Type What it does
Name Text, required, placeholder Debian Card title. Empty: OS family name is required. Duplicate: An OS family with this name already exists.
Icon Select Media-library token, or — No icon —.
Custom URL Text When filled, replaces the library icon.
Preview Image Preview, plus Open Media Library.
Active Switch, default on Inactive families cannot be selected on a template or ISO.

Cancel / Save. Missing row on edit: OS family not found.

Example

+ Create, name Debian, pick the Debian icon, Save. On each Debian template set OS family to Debian and Version label to 11 x64 or 12 x64. Reinstall shows one Debian card and a version dropdown.
