[SOLVED] API clone (status process)

[Fablux]

Hi all,
we used clone API command into PHP client.
Is it possible to known when the clone process is finished, so then we will able to execute another API on the clone?
I hope I was clear.

Thank you in advance.

a long running task will return a "UPID" that you can use to poll the task for completion via GET /api2/json/nodes/{node}/tasks/{upid}/status

I'll try your solution.

Thank you so much, fabian.

Would you mind giving a short feedback on what went wrong on your end? I have a weird situation where I usually get an UPID, .. but SOMETIMES I do get an empty string, but the task was still successfully queued by Proxmox. The problem is that in this case I never "know" when the task is finished or if it was started at all.

I wonder if there is some sort of edge case in which a task was started but does not return an UPID ...

the only thing I can think of is if the request before the worker start happens or is finished takes more than 30s and the connection is closed for timeout reasons..

could you try logging the requests and then posting details about the failed one (ideally, the whole request and response data including timing, of course remove authentication headers/cookies/tokens and feel free to censor data that is otherwise sensitive).

also please include "pveversion -v" output.
