Run Systemd service after proxmox finished starting?

[Dunuin]

Hi,

I wrote a script that will unlock my encrypted datasets, mount some SMB shares and start VMs afterwards.
I would like this script to be autorun by a systemd service but I'm not sure what to set for "AFTER" and "REQUIRE" so it will only be started after proxmox finished everything like starting networks, initializing zfs pools and so on.

Someone knows what values to use for "AFTER" and "REQUIRE"?
Is there a proxmox target I can use for "AFTER" to be sure proxmox has finished booting?

I thought this might look like this:

[Unit]
Description=PVE Start Script
Requires=network.target zfs.target local-fs.target remote-fs.target
After=pve-guests.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash /root/scripts/start.sh
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You can use systemd-analyze plot > image.svg or systemd-analyze critical-chain to get a good overview of starting services.

pve-guests.service is the last PVE service to start, and indicates everything is ready (this is the service that handles 'onboot' auto-start for VMs and CTs). In your case it might also be enough to just go after zfs.target, or pve-cluster.service (or pve-ha-lrm.service if you use HA).

Thanks,

It finally works after months. Now I just need open a SSH shell, type in my LUKS passphrase and it automatically unlocks all the encrypted zfs datasets, mounts the SMB shares and starts the VMs and LXCs in the right order.

I used this systemd script:

[Unit]
Description=PVE Start Script
After=pve-guests.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash /root/scripts/start.sh
User=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
