Install the backup client on ubuntu 22.04 server?

[sublightnova]

I have not found an official way and logically for a critical component as backups I don't want to use some hacky way to install it.

So is there no way to install the client on ubuntu 22.04 server / client?

Btw... having giving it a few tries before and failing at liking it too much, I absolutely love PBS now. Actually looks like the most solid backup solution for my situation. period.

HI,
I'm not sure which way you tried it. But did you try it with adding the client only repo with the instructions for "Repositories for Debian 11 (Bullseye) based releases"? After following the instructions, you can just install the client via apt:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install proxmox-backup

Even though Ubuntu 22.04 is based on Debian 12 it should still work .

Well I tried to avoid installing something from a debian based repo because of the usual reasons.. But I guess I could give it a try.. I do hope that an official ubuntu release will become available though!!

Thanks

Nope it do not

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 proxmox-backup-client : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not installable

Bug : https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4191

 

[Zappy]

By the way this can get fixed with

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb

thanks to skyvap

@Zappy this works, however, on ubuntu is this package deprecated in favor of libssl3.

 

[Zappy]

well sort of , but proxmox-backup-client have a depency on libssl1.1 as shown in the previous post ...
so until the team remove this dependancy , that's was the only way

Ubuntu 22.04 has been out for 7 months now, this dependency is quite annoying. Would it be difficult to provide client packages for Ubuntu?

Any chance this problem might get resolved? I really want to use this.

 

[Zappy]

you can see workaround in this thread
been using the client since few months now

please see https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4191 for tracking. for the time being you either need to install the old libssl (should be co-installable) or build the client yourself, until a proper solution is available.

Thank you, and also to Zappy. It seems to co-exist without any problems so far.

Are there any news about a native Ubuntu 22.04 client?

 

[fireon]

Would it be enough to rebuild the dependency in the Debian package, or do you really need to recompile the client?

 

[ubu]

@fabian Can we get the proxmox-backup-client source package to rebuilt it on ubuntu / mint / whatever? Where are the deb-src packages?

 

[fabian]

we don't publish source packages (we don't use them internally (yet)). our packages are buildable straight from git: https://git.proxmox.com . some repos have "dsc" Makefile targets that should generate source packages. please be aware that currently branches are switched over for the upcoming bookworm release(s), so some breakage might ensue.

Why this can't be straight forward?
had to add:
deb [trusted=yes] http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs-client bullseye main
now getting:
W: GPG error: http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs-client bullseye InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY DD4BA3917E23BF59

 

[Hanan]

ok , not sure why it is such a complicated install but I got it right:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/...amd64/proxmox-backup-client_2.4.1-1_amd64.deb
apt-get install qrencode
dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
dpkg -i proxmox-backup-client_2.4.1-1_amd64.deb

Sure would be nice to manage backups and restores from the PBS gui vs client cli.
