Hi,

We have followed KB provided,
https://github.com/sg4r/proxmox-backup-client/blob/main/rpmbuild.md, but we are stuck in step "Modification", may I check where we need to update the below changes? please let us know the path

Also, can we use the build RPM in other VMs

modification
add Requires after Requires: /bin/sh

Provides:      proxmox-backup = 1.0.6
Provides:      proxmox-backup(x86_64) = 1.0.6
Requires:      /bin/sh
Requires:      libfuse3.so.3()(64bit)
Requires:      libzstd.so.1()(64bit)
change Release from 1 to 1.2

Version:       1.0.6
Release:       1.2
License:       AGPL-3
save the modification

"~/.tmp/rpmrebuild.62512/work/spec.2" 60L, 1144C written
Do you want to continue ? (y/N) y
result: /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/proxmox-backup-1.0.6-1.2.x86_64.rpm

hi, you must change the spec file from
Provides: proxmox-backup(x86_64) = 1.0.6
Requires: /bin/sh
#suggest

to
Provides: proxmox-backup(x86_64) = 1.0.6
Requires: /bin/sh
Requires: libfuse3.so.3()(64bit)
Requires: libzstd.so.1()(64bit)
#suggest

by add 2 new lines
Requires: libfuse3.so.3()(64bit)
Requires: libzstd.so.1()(64bit)


it's OK for you?

Hi,

May I know the path of the spec file in which the mentioned edit has to be undergone.

Also, can we use the build RPM in other VMs than the one which we created the RPM?

Thank You

 

[seba45]

hi, you must edit the spec temporary file with the rpmrebuild command

rpmrebuild -enp target/generate-rpm/proxmox-backup-1.0.6-1.x86_64.rpm

add 2 lines

Requires: libfuse3.so.3()(64bit)
Requires: libzstd.so.1()(64bit)

after Requires: /bin/sh and before #suggest in the spec temporary file

Provides: proxmox-backup = 1.0.6
Provides: proxmox-backup(x86_64) = 1.0.6
Requires: /bin/sh
Requires: libfuse3.so.3()(64bit)
Requires: libzstd.so.1()(64bit)
#suggest

change Release from 1 to 1.2

Version: 1.0.6
Release: 1.2
License: AGPL-3

save the temporary file and answer y to build the new package

"~/.tmp/rpmrebuild.62512/work/spec.2" 60L, 1144C written
Do you want to continue ? (y/N) y
result: /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/proxmox-backup-1.0.6-1.2.x86_64.rpm

Hi,

Please correct us if we are doing the rpm-build wrong as we are unable to edit the rpm file using rpmrebuild.

As mentioned in https://github.com/sg4r/proxmox-backup-client/blob/main/rpmbuild.md

We edited the file Cargo.toml from /root/proxmox-backup-client/proxmox-backup

and generated rpm under the same directory

But when executing the command
rpmrebuild -enp target/generate-rpm/proxmox-backup-1.0.6-1.x86_64.rpm

We are not getting any output

[root@localhost proxmox-backup]# rpmrebuild -enp target/generate-rpm/proxmox-backup-1.0.6-1.x86_64.rpm
[root@localhost proxmox-backup]#

when trying to list out the dependencies already inside it shows /bin/sh

[root@localhost proxmox-backup]# rpm -qRp target/generate-rpm/proxmox-backup-1.0.6-1.x86_64.rpm
/bin/sh

 

[powersupport]

Can anyone advise on the above case, please?

 

[powersupport]

I have found the solution and installed backup-client in centos

======
[root@localhost init.d]# proxmox-backup-client version
client version: 1.0.6
[root@localhost init.d]#
======

Thank you all for your help in this case. Cheers!!

Hello,

Unfortunately for some reason I can't do the build myself.
I have the same problem: https://github.com/sg4r/proxmox-backup-client/issues/6

Can someone send me a working .rpm file?

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Hi powersupport,

may I ask you what you did to solve the issue?
I'm stuck at the exact same step.

Running the command "rpmrebuild -enp target/generate-rpm/proxmox-backup-1.0.6-1.x86_64.rpm" does not open the temporary spec file.

Many thanks in advance for your help and best regards
Sebastian

They do provide some pre-build .rpm files on their repo;
https://github.com/sg4r/proxmox-backup-client/releases

Scroll down all the way, under "Assets".

Good evening, sorry if I intrude, a question, pbs can I also use it as a backup system for other linux systems such as centos and rockylinux linux ? I need to install a client on these systems, is there one?
