I haven't worked with ploop-based containers so maybe it is different for them... but with a non-ploop container... to duplicate it... all you have to do is copy the container filesystem (preferably while it isn't running) and config... then edit the config to a make the new container unique... and then start the new container. Each time a container is started, its settings in the config (hostname, ip address, disk quota, nameserver, etc) are injected into the filesystem and then it is started.
TYL,
