You have many ideas but I only see two questions.

Quote:

based on that, if I copy the tarball to the Template dir?


Yes, see http://wiki.openvz.org/OS_template_cache

Or do I need "metadata"?


it is not necessary. the simplest/fastest way to work with templates is to simply tar gz up an existing VE, then redeploy using that file.


Your other ideas seem interesting, but remember if you want to copy/sync a file to your ves, you can simply copy it into the VEs private. for exmaple, if you want to replace /etc/passwd on VE 103, from your HN, cp /path/passwd /vz/private/103/etc/passwd . This is the easiest way in my opinion, and more secure then a network based approach to moving files around as the root user.
