# Templatize a VM

Capture a configured VM's persist disk into a template that others (or you)
can fork. Public templates are unlimited and free; private templates use a
paid Templates plan. Secrets and PII are scrubbed on public capture.

## Steps

1. Pick the VM to snapshot:

   ```sh
   jurniti vms ls
   ```

2. Capture it as a template:

   ```sh
   jurniti capture <vm> --public
   ```

   Use `--private` to keep it to yourself (counts against your Templates
   plan). Public capture runs the scrub gate — model keys and secrets are
   stripped before the snapshot is published.

3. Publish or flip visibility:

   ```sh
   jurniti publish <tpl> --public
   ```

   Use `--unlist` to pull a template from the public gallery. Publishing and
   unlisting are always free and unlimited — no public-visibility penalty.

## After publishing

- Share the template page; each fork provisions a new paid VM (the flywheel —
  see `jurniti-fork-template`).
