Subject: [PATCH SERIES v4] Add ability to prevent suggesting previously used VM/CT IDs
Date: Fri, 08 Nov 2024 14:44:39 +1300
Message-ID: <D5GF0S3A2B5A.2GFUV82K7VL1@sitehost.co.nz>

Hi everyone,

This is another small update to my previous patch series [1]
adding optional support for preventing PVE from suggesting
previously used VM/CT IDs. Aaron had some small style nits, so
I've addressed those and also added the Reviewed-by and
Tested-by commit trailers he offered.

Note when building this patch series that the pve-cluster
patches must be applied and built first to prevent the build
of pve-manager from failing.

Thanks,
Severen

[pve-devel] [PATCH manager v4 1/2] close #4369: api: optionally only suggest unique IDs

Subject: [PATCH manager v4 1/2] close #4369: api: optionally only suggest unique IDs
Date: Fri,  8 Nov 2024 14:46:15 +1300
Message-ID: <20241108014620.73352-1-severen.redwood@sitehost.co.nz>

At the moment, the `/cluster/nextid` API endpoint will return the lowest
available VM/CT ID, which means that it will suggest re-using VM IDs.
This can be undesirable, so add an optional check to ensure that it
chooses an ID which is not and has never been in use.

This optional behaviour is enabled when `unique-next-id: 1` in
the data centre config, and the previously used IDs are tracked as a
list in the file `/etc/pve/used_vmids.list`.

Changed since v3 is addressing some comments on style in `$read_id_list`.

Add a 'suggest unique VMIDs' row to the datacenter options page that

any UI elements that suggest IDs) should avoid suggesting previously
used IDs. This option defaults to off to ensure that this change in
behaviour is opt in.

Hi everyone,

Just bumping this patch series since it's been a few weeks :)

Is there anything blocking these patches from being accepted?
I'm happy to address any feedback if so.

Thanks,
Severen
