Now the controller knows that the version is "15.9(3)M3" and 2 images are required to create a new template. The "IOSv_startup_config.img" image is not locally available, the controller then download that image since it is free to download.
The controller create the template using all the info found in the appliance file.
This method would be very easy for users but only works if an image if referenced in an appliance file.
Also, I think we should have some sort of versioning for templates so one template can have multiple images OR we can have multiple template with the same name and a version field.

Creating a new template isn't always a smooth experience and I am looking for a way to simplify this.
Currently in v2, an user can create a template in 2 ways:
Create a template after an image has been uploaded
The user uploads an image to the controller which then automatically create a new template by matching the image checksum with an appliance info.
The controller automatically download missing images to create the template (if they can be freely downloaded).
A template cannot be created until all required images are uploaded / downloaded / found on the controller for a given appliance version.
Example:
The user uploads the
vios-adventerprisek9-m.spa.159-3.m3.qcow2
image to the controller.The controller use the image checksum to find the appliance referencing that checksum: https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-registry/blob/master/appliances/cisco-iosv.gns3a
Now the controller knows that the version is "15.9(3)M3" and 2 images are required to create a new template. The "IOSv_startup_config.img" image is not locally available, the controller then download that image since it is free to download.
