Subject: [pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] docs: describe the intend for the statically linked pbs client
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 11:30:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250410093059.130504-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
Discurage the use of the statically linked binary for systems where
the regular one is available.
Moves the previous note into it's own section and link to the
installation section.
Signed-off-by: Christian Ebner <c.ebner@proxmox.com>

Note: This was not properly tested because my current build system
(laptop) just takes ages to build but I didn't want to wait longer
before sending this. So please shout at me if this breaks something.

+Statically Linked Backup Client
+-------------------------------
+
+A statically linked version of the Proxmox Backup client is available for Linux
+based systems where the regular client is not available. Please note that it is
+recommended to use the regular client when possible, as the statically linked
+client is not a full replacement. For example, name resolution will not be
+performed via the mechanisms provided by libc, but uses a resolver written
+purely in the Rust programming language. Therefore, features and modules
+provided by Name Service Switch cannot be used.
+
+The statically linked client is available via the ``pbs-client`` repository as
+described in the :ref:`installation <install_pbc>` section.
