Hello, I am currently running a proxmox standalone system and have set the replication runner from minute to month to save the write load with

systemctl edit --full pvesr.timer

But now I would like to set up additional nodes for replication. How can I restart the replication runner every minute. I could not find a solution in the forum. Can someone please push me in the right direction?

Best regards
Thomas
 
Hi,
does editing the timer again not work, i.e. setting OnCalendar=minutely? What does systemctl status pvesr.timer tell you?

Note that you can set the replication schedule for each individual job. The pvesr service will just look if there are any scheduled jobs and if there aren't, it won't do anything. If a replication job happens too often, you should adjust the schedule for the job itself.
 
systemctl status pvesr.timer

shows:

Code:
thomas@pve:~$ sudo systemctl status pvesr.timer

● pvesr.timer - Proxmox VE replication runner
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/pvesr.timer; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (waiting) since Thu 2021-06-10 18:36:27 CEST; 4 days ago
  Trigger: Thu 2021-07-01 00:00:00 CEST; 2 weeks 1 days left

Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomplete or unavailable.

I'm not sure how i can change the timer. What should the command line look like?

Ok, I edited the /etc/systemd/system/pvesr.timer with the option OnCalendar=minutely and it works, thanks!
