Subject: [PATCH installer 2/2] post-hook: make post hook more failure tolerant
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 12:22:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520102243.129230-3-s.sterz@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520102243.129230-1-s.sterz@proxmox.com>
by logging an error and providing an "unknown" or empty value where
possible. this should avoid a single command failing from aborting the
whole post hook by bubbling up an error.
there are a couple of exceptions that will still bubble up:
- if the low level installer config cannot be read or loaded
- if the udev information cannot be read or parsed
- if the product info cannot be gathered
- if the file system details cannot be gathered
the first two should always be present after a proper installation and
something going wrong there points to a larger issue that should be
fixed.
the product info should also always be present, but we are lacking a
sensible default we can return here instead, because the
`ProxmoxProduct` enum does not have a "unknown" variant. so if an
error is encountered we would report a potentially wrong product.
file system details should also always be present and the
`FilesystemType` enum also lacks a sensible "unknown" variant.
