Subject: [PATCH common/proxmox{,-backup}/storage v2 0/9] establish unique instance-id for PBS nodes
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 10:29:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424082943.89614-1-l.wagner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In PDM we require some way to match PBS storage <-> PBS remote.
Having some kind of unique ID for each PBS instance should make it quite easy
to establish such a mapping completely automatically.
The general approach is
1.) add /nodes/localhost/server-identity route in PBS, returning a unique, per-installation ID
2.) add something like /nodes/.../storage/<id>/identity in PVE, which uses
proxmox-backup-client internally to return the instance ID for this PBS storage
3.) PDM can then use both API routes to establish the mapping
Changes since v1:
- Rebased the proxmox-backup part (@thx Chris)
- the pve-storage part is now implemented as a method in the storage plugin,
`get_identity` (thx @Thomas)
- the identity route now return the type of the plugin as well as a discriminant
- the route in PBS has been renamed to just /nodes/localhost/identity (thx @thomas)
Significant changes since the RFC:
- fixup copy-paste doc mistakes (thx @ Shannon)
- in PVE, the API is now '/nodes/<node>/storage/<id>/identity', as this is hopefully
generic enough that it could be used for other storages enough.
- in PBS, the API is now at /nodes/localhost/server-identity
- in the Perl PBSClient, the method to retrieve the identity is now "get_server_identity"
