# Templates Templates define how QuickPod launches a workload. Direct link: ## Template sources The current Templates page includes: * Public templates maintained for common QuickPod workflows * Community templates shared by users * Your own templates after login ## What a template contains A template can define: * image path * template name and description * launch mode * Docker options, including published ports * Docker run options and entry behavior * CLI command or startup behavior * disk recommendation * readme content shown in the console * template type used for GPU or CPU launch flows ## Common workflows ### Browse a public template Use the public Templates page to inspect a template before login. ### Clone a public or community template After login, clone a template into your account if you want to modify ports, startup commands, environment variables, or related launch settings. ### Create your own template Authenticated users can create a brand-new template for internal use or publishing to the community. ### Share with the community Templates can be marked for community sharing so other users can discover and clone them. ## Template types and launch pages GPU templates are used from [GPU Search](https://console.quickpod.io/) and CPU templates are used from [CPU Search](https://console.quickpod.io/cpu-pod-search). ## Notes on ports If your workload needs a web UI or API, publish the container port in the template's Docker options. Public template docs should make expected ports clear so users know what endpoint they are creating. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
