running a script after cloning

[prochap]

can you run something like hookscript after cloning?

Currently there's no support for running hookscripts after cloning, but there's an open enhancement request: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2530
If you want to be notified on any changes, please add yourself to the CC list.

Solved. The patch adds post-clone and post-template for the hookscript.

save the code to Qemu.patch and apply the patch with the command
patch /usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Qemu.pm Qemu.patch

then restart the pvedaemon service

Solved. The patch adds post-clone and post-template for the hookscript.

hey great to see that.. would you consider contributing that via the dev mailing list to get it into our code?
see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Documentation
(also note the cla requirements)
if you do, please also mention the bug# from the bugzilla

Will this be made available in a next release? I am looking for a way to automatically install an agent (configuration management) to a newly cloned lxc container or vm. Thanks

Hello,

could somebody make an other patch, that fires a status event (like post-stop), when the VM was shutdown from itself?
I have seen that you created a 'post-clone' hookscript event, I would need something that...

Thanks
