Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH v2 pve-storage-plugin-examples 1/2] plugin-sshfs: add example for custom storage plugin for SSHFS
Date: Fri,  4 Jul 2025 18:20:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250704162011.402195-2-m.carrara@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250704162011.402195-1-m.carrara@proxmox.com>

This commit adds an example implementation of a custom storage plugin
that uses SSHFS [0] as the underlying filesystem.

The implementation is very similar to that of the NFS plugin; as a
prerequisite, it is currently necessary to use pubkey auth and have
the host's root user's public key deployed on the remote host like so:

  ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_my_private_key [USER]@[HOST]

Then, the storage can be added as follows:

  pvesm add sshfs [STOREID] \
    --username [USER] \
    --server [HOST] \
    --path /mnt/path/to/storage \
    --remote-path [ABS PATH ON REMOTE] \
    --sshfs-private-key "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_my_private_key)"

If the host is part of a cluster, other nodes may connect to the
remote without any additional setup required. This is because we copy
the private key to `/etc/pve/priv/storage/$STOREID.key` and use
`/etc/pve/priv/storage/$STOREID_known_hosts` as cluster-wide
known_hosts file. Also mark each SSHFS storage as `shared` by default
in order to make use of this.

In other words, there will be a separate private key and known_hosts
file for each SSHFS storage that the user configures. Both are shared
via pmxcfs.

Note: Because there's currently no way to officially and permanently
mark a storage as shared (like some built-in plugins [1]) set
`$scfg->{shared} = 1;` in `on_add_hook`. This has almost the same
effect as modifying `@PVE::Storage::Plugin::SHARED_STORAGE` directly,
except that the `shared` is written to `/etc/pve/storage.cfg`.

The remote host's public key is trusted on first use via the
StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new option for SSH.
From `man 5 ssh_config`:

> If this flag is set to accept-new then ssh will automatically add
> new host keys to the user's known_hosts file, but will not permit
> connections to hosts with changed host keys.

This means that `/etc/pve/priv/storage/$STOREID_known_hosts` will
contain the public key of the remote host after a connection was
established for the first time.
