This repo contains some Proxmox helper scripts
This is a simple backup hook script for LXC containers. The goal is to run specific tasks inside the container at certain points during the backup process. For example, stopping a process before the backup begins and restarting it when the backup is done.
Usage:
- Download the script somewhere on your Proxmox server.
- Make it executable:
chmod +x backup-hook.sh - Tell vzdump to use it by setting the "script" variable in
/etc/vzdump.conf
This makes Proxmox call the script at specific event during the process of backing up an LXC container. The script, in turn, checks if a script with the same name as the event exists within the container, and if it does, executes it. So for example, to run a task inside a container at the beginning of the backup process, create it as /root/backup-start.sh.
List of possible events:
- backup-start
- pre-stop
- pre-restart
- post-restart
- backup-end
- backup-abort
- log-end
There's no need to create scripts for all events, backup-hook.sh will only execute the ones that actually exist.
Note: This script isn't suited for backup-related tasks that need to be performed outside the container, e.g. copying the backup file to an off-site server.
This is a boilerplate script for automating setup tasks in new LXC containers (installing packages, making configuration changes and so on). When run on a Proxmox host, it copies itself into the specified container, executes itself there and then removes itself. Inside the container, it executes whatever instructions are put in the setup () function.
Usage:
- Download the script somewhere on your Proxmox server.
- Make it executable:
chmod +x lxc-setup.sh - Edit the script and put the tasks you want to be executed inside the container, into the
setup ()function at the top of the script. - Call the script with
./lxc-setup.sh XYZ(replacing XYZ with the numeric ID of the container).
Any output from the setup tasks is logged to /root/setup.log inside the container.
