Message-ID: <20250409081108.84720-1-l.wagner@proxmox.com> (raw)

This section is meant to give a basic overview on how to use
custom templates for notifications. It will be expanded in the
future, providing a more detailed view on how templates are resolved,

+Overriding Notification Templates
+---------------------------------
+
+Proxmox Backup Server uses Handlebars templates to render notifications. 
+The original templates provided by Proxmox Backup Server are stored in
+``/usr/share/proxmox-backup/templates/default/``.
+
+Notification templates can be overridden by providing a custom template
+file in the override directory at 
+``/etc/proxmox-backup/notification-templates/default/``.
+When rendering a notification of a given type, Proxmox Backup Server
+will first attempt to load a template from the override directory.
+If this one does not exist or fails to render, the original template
+will be used.
+
+The template files follow the naming convention of
+``<type>-<body|subject>.txt.hbs``. For instance, the file
+``gc-err-body.txt.hbs`` contains the template for rendering notifications
+for garbage collection errors, while ``package-updates-subject.txt.hbs``
+is used to render the subject line of notifications for available package
+updates.
