USB/IP

[Archebo]

Hi!

Need to generate linux-tools for PVE kernel, in order to use usbip.
Is it working in CT? Somebody try it?

Where can i find source code linux-image for this?

I once tried using usbip where Proxmox host was the server and a VM the client and it worked fine (over vmbr0). Just install the usbip packages using apt.
I have not yet tried it with an external computer being the server and a unprivileged container being the client (with drivers loaded on the Proxmox host).
What do you mean with "generate linux-tools for PVE kernel"?

I mean linux-tools not working "out of box" with PVE kernel, need to install packages for this specific kernel.

Would be cool if it would be implemented into Proxmox. Adding USB devices from another node.

Did you ever get anywhere with this @Archebo ?

It's is old but i post here the commands to make usbip working on pve:

apt install pve-kernel-$(uname -r) pve-headers-$(uname -r) autoconf build-essential libudev-dev libwrap0-dev libtool-bin pkg-config libsysfs-dev libglib2.0-dev
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbip/files/usbip/0.1.7/usbip-0.1.7.tar.gz/download
mv download usbip-0.1.7.tar.gz
tar xvfz usbip-0.1.7.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src/usbip-0.1.7/src/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make install
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libusbip.so.0 /usr/lib/
depmod -a
modprobe vhci_driver
modprobe usbip-core
modprobe usbip-host
echo "vhci-hcd" >> /etc/modules
echo "usbip-core" >> /etc/modules
echo "usbip-host" >> /etc/modules


## List local usbs
usbip list -l
## List remote usbs
usbip list -r <ip remote>
##Attach remote usb
usbip attach -r <ip remote> --busid 1-1.1
## List attached usbs
usbip port
## Detach a remote connected usb
usbip detach -p 0

why download the source? it's available in the debian repo.

 

[swipon]

The package in debian repository doesn't install kernel module.
The kernel module is in the package linux-tools but it is for standard debian kernel. For PVE kernel you need to compile the module from source.

Or compile linux-tools for pve kernel

You can use the package only for the binary file.

Thanks for your support. I'm having this issue:
# modprobe vhci_driver
modprobe: FATAL: Module vhci_driver not found in directory /lib/modules/6.8.12-2-pve

Any advice?
