[seba45]

Hi,
I have prepared a cookbook for building the proxmox-backup-client for CentOS 7.

it's available from https://github.com/sg4r/proxmox-backup-client

I'm looking for information to create an rpm package for ease of deployment.

thanks for other patch and commit

Hello,

On Centos 7 when i run "bash ./pbs.build.sh" I get the following error

Updating git repository `git://git.proxmox.com/git/pxar.git`
error: failed to sync

Caused by:
failed to load pkg lockfile

Caused by:
failed to select a version for the requirement `pxar = "^0.6.1"`
candidate versions found which didn't match: 0.7.0
location searched: Git repository git://git.proxmox.com/git/pxar.git

Do you have any idea?

Thank you

I got the same issue on Centos7. However, it works on another Centos7 machine with the same OS version.

Hi sg4r fixed the error. You can try it again

Nice, thanks. What about a RHEL8 build?

 

[seba45]

it is supported under centOS7 and centOS8

Thanks, will test it soon

 

[robhost]

Works, very nice! Thanks!

I think Proxmox should adopt this, as the lack of an official RHEL backup client and the main focus on Debian is really a drawback of PBS at the moment.

What do you think @tom ?

Hi, any idea when you can publish official rpms for Centos?

Thanks Pavel

Hi @seba45 ,

Is there any chance to prepare an rpm with a new version of proxmox-backup-client?

Thanks,

Hi Sébastien,

Thank you very much for this!

I've created a fork of your work and updated it for RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which includes Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux.
The current proxmox-backup-client version 2.3.1 is available here:
github.com/TomGem/proxmox-backup-client

Best,
Thomas

 

[sommarnatt]

Nice work Thomas!

Seems the Cargo.toml file changed a bit between 2.3.1 and 2.3.3, sections updated a bit for deps/workspace.dependencies etc.
Are you still updating your repo?

 

[tomgem]

Thanks and thanks for the hint, there have been some changes indeed.

I've just updated the repo to proxmox-backup-client version 2.3.3.

 

[sommarnatt]

Cheers Thomas, can verify that at least backup creation works on Fedora 36 as well

Thanks and thanks for the hint, there have been some changes indeed.

I've just updated the repo to proxmox-backup-client version 2.3.3.

Would be great if you can add a SHA-256 checksum file for your RPMs to confirm download integrity.

 

[tomgem]

github.com/TomGem/proxmox-backup-client is updated to version 2.4.1.

Now with checksums.
