Official Runpod templates
Prefer an official template over building an image. Runpod maintains prebuilt images for common workloads; deploying one is a create + poll, with no SSH install step. This skill is the reference for what those images actually are. It does not manage infrastructure — deploy with runpod-mcp (if connected) or runpodctl.
Terms — "template" vs the Hub
Two different products share the word "Hub", and conflating them derails discovery:
| Term | What it is | Runs as | Discover with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pod template (this skill) | A saved pod config — image + ports + disk + env. The official ones appear on Console Hub template pages (console.runpod.io/hub/template/<id>) |
a pod | runpodctl template list --type official / template search · REST GET /v2/catalog/templates |
| Hub repo / listing | A packaged serverless worker (e.g. runpod-workers/worker-comfyui) with a handler, deployed as an endpoint |
serverless | runpodctl hub list / hub search · MCP list-hub-repos / deploy-hub-repo |
