Subject: [PATCH] client: support individual repository component parameters
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 22:11:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323211400.2661765-1-t.lamprecht@proxmox.com> (raw)

The compact repository URL format ([[auth-id@]server[:port]:]datastore)
can be cumbersome to remember the exact syntax and work with.
It also makes it awkward to change a single aspect of the connection,
like switching to a different datastore, without rewriting the whole
string.

So add the "expanded" --server, --port, --datastore, and --auth-id as
separate CLI parameters, mutually exclusive with --repository. Both
forms resolve to the same BackupRepository internally.

Add a BackupRepositoryArgs that holds both the atoms and the combined
URL and replace the existing "repository" parameter in all client
tools, i.e. proxmox-backup-client, proxmox-file-restore, and
proxmox-backup-debug. This struct gets flattened into the cli (api)
schemas such that it's fully backward compatible.

Also add recognition for corresponding environment variables
(PBS_SERVER, PBS_PORT, PBS_DATASTORE, PBS_AUTH_ID) serve as fallback
when neither --repository/PBS_REPOSITORY nor CLI component options are
given.

Disclaimer: only lightly tested! but as this is somewhat of a pain point
I run myself into when adding a new Debian host to backup to a PBS via
the client, I finally wanted to have this improved and polished the POC
I have lying around for some time now already.

 You can pass the repository with the ``--repository`` command-line option, or
 by setting the ``PBS_REPOSITORY`` environment variable.
 
+Alternatively, you can specify the repository components as separate
+command-line options:
+
+``--server <host>``
+  Backup server address (hostname or IP address). Defaults to ``localhost``.
+
+``--port <number>``
+  Backup server port. Defaults to ``8007``.
+
+``--datastore <name>``
+  Name of the target datastore. Required when using component options instead
+  of ``--repository``.
+
+``--auth-id <user@realm[!token]>``
+  Authentication identity, either a user (``user@realm``) or an API token
+  (``user@realm!tokenname``). Defaults to ``root@pam``.
+
+These options are mutually exclusive with ``--repository``. Both forms
+resolve to the same internal representation, so cached login tickets and
+other session state are shared between them. For example, logging in with
+``--repository`` and then running a backup with ``--server``/``--datastore``
+(or vice versa) reuses the same ticket, as long as the server address and
+user match.
+
+The component options make it easy to change individual parts of the
+connection, for example switching to a different datastore or server without
+having to rewrite the entire repository string. They also simplify usage
+with API tokens, which require escaping the ``@`` separator in the compact
+form:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  # Using component options
+  # proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ \
+      --auth-id 'user@pbs!backup' --server pbs.example.com --datastore store1
+
+  # Equivalent compact form (the \@ disambiguates the user@realm
+  # separator from the user-to-host separator in the URL format)
+  # proxmox-backup-client backup root.pxar:/ \
+      --repository 'user\@pbs!backup@pbs.example.com:store1'
+
+.. Note:: Remember to quote API token identifiers on the shell, since the
+   exclamation mark (``!``) is a special character in most shells.
+
 The web interface provides copyable repository text in the datastore summary
 with the `Show Connection Information` button.
