Thank you. It went further but... there are now plenty of errors with proxmox-backup compilation... :-(

error: could not compile `proxmox-backup`.

you are not using the current proxmox crate..
 
Hi,
is there any news about availability for ARM architecture?
I would like to use my "QNAP TS-231P" NAS system to run PBS in a container environment, though the cpu is "Annapurna Labs Alpine AL212 DualCore". Any chance in getting this to run? I think it would be great to use a standalone device as backup server.

Thanks Proxmox team and keep up the great work ;)

Greetings,
stewen

@ayufan thank you for sharing!

Has anyone tried it on a raspberry pi? Maybe even on a 3b+ with only 1GB of Ram?
Is the write wear caused by the logs equally to PVE?

I did not try it on RPI 3. I run it all the time on `RockPro64`. It will not work on 3b+, as it requires ARM64 (it is only compiled for this). So, Rock64, RockPro64, RPI4, RockPi4, etc.

About logs, they can be redirected to `tmpfs` (via docker compose tmpfs volume) to avoid write wear.
 
Yes thats the easy way. But what when you decide to not update your packages anymore?
furthermore i don't use docker in any way ;)

Well, it is not hard to compile, and all details how to do it are public. I primarily use it as a server, and actually have pretty long history of upgrading packages ;)
 
WIth the instructions above and a little tweaking, I installed proxmox-backup-client on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS arm64 on a Raspberry PI 4:

Bash: 
# get and install rust
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

# get and install required dependencies
apt install libclang-dev llvm gcc g++ clang-7 libacl1-dev libpam-dev libfuse3-dev python-docutils python3-sphinx libudev-dev libssl-dev pkg-config patchelf

# link libraries with mismatched names
cd /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/
ln -s libsgutils2.so.2.0.0 libsgutils2.so
ln -s libuuid.so.1 libuuid.so

# get source and patch it (patches were for Arch but also work on Ubuntu)

It was not easy, but I was able to compile client for arm32 and run it on: Raspberry PI 2 / 4 (both using armv7l) and Turris Omnia.

After run cron.daily on Pi 2 I've got
Error: unable to parse repository url 'DB0906@pbs001.tuxis.nl:DB0906_easter'
What could have gone wrong?

well, as the error indicates your passing a bad formatted PBS repository URL, to be specific, there's a @ missing between user id and server, should probably be: DB0906@pbs@001.tuxis.nl:DB0906_easter

I made!
The var PBS_REPOSITORY should be ='USER@REALM@SERVER:STORAGE' right?

In my case DB0906@pbs@pbs001.tuxis.nl:DB0906_easter
It works! Thank you!
