Manage Templates

Required arguments:

containerDiskInGb
dockerArgs
env
imageName
name
volumeInGb

All other arguments are optional. If your container image is private, you can also specify Docker login credentials with a containerRegistryAuthId argument, which takes the ID (not the name) of the container registry credentials you saved in your Runpod user settings as a string.

Template names must be unique as well; if you try to create a new template with the same name as an existing one, your call will fail.

Create Serverless Template

For Serverless templates, always pass 0 for volumeInGb, since Serverless workers don’t have persistent storage (other than those with network volumes).

Delete a Template

Note that the template you’d like to delete must not be in use by any Pods or assigned to any Serverless endpoints. It can take up to 2 minutes to be able to delete a template after its most recent use by a Pod or Serverless endpoint, too. The same mutation is used for deleting both Pod and Serverless templates.

Create a Secret

To create a secret, you need to send a GraphQL mutation request. This request will include the secretCreate mutation with the required input fields value and name. The value represents the actual secret, and the name is a unique identifier for the secret.
