Make sure to look at the complete documentation Please post any questions/issues relating to this template in this thread.
January 3, 20233 yr This is actually fantastic and I've been wanting to set something up locally for my Proxmox server but best I could do was a remote share via rsync. Thanks for the effort! I can't seem to login though after initial creation. Username: admin & Password: pbspbs don't work for me. Any suggestions?

January 8, 20233 yr Hello everyone, first thanks for the container 👍 But I also have a question. I set the Backup Dir to /mnt/user/backups/pbs/ that´s the share where all my backups live In the container the added a Datastore named pbs with the \backups path like in the Backup Dir discription at the container settings. Backups work fine but I can´t find the backup files in /mnt/user/backups/pbs/ folder it just showes an empty folder. Can anyone help me to find the files or tell me what I did wrong? Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot Hi @Bob@unraid Did you create any backup yet ? can you please post a ls -al /mnt/user/backups/pbs
January 9, 20233 yr Thanks for the fast reply. Yes I already did backups of 2 CTs, even scheduled ones worked. I will post the ls later today when I get home from work. Maybe worth a mention. I just created the Datastore, didn't change / set anything in folder or storage tab Here is the output Spoiler root@unraid:~# ls -al /mnt/user/backups/pbs total 0 drwxrwxrwx 1 robert users 6 Jan 7 00:21 ./ drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 74 Jan 9 18:11 ../ Edited January 9, 20233 yr by Bob@unraid
January 12, 20233 yr Hey, does this implimentation also suffer from the "stale file handle" issue occuring, after the mover is invoked? When setting it up, the cache is set to "no" instead of the typical "yes". I want to retire a separate pbs vm, which I had to reboot everytime before I ran a backup, since the nfs share file handles became stale when the backuped files were moved by unraid.

The docker console shows # ls backup backups bin boot dev etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root run runit sbin src srv sys tmp usr var Spoiler And here is what my Storage / Disk tabs looks like Can anyone help me to mount the right folder in my backup share? I don´t get it. Thanks
January 13, 20233 yr Author can you post a screenshot when you click on pbs datastore.... i am suspecting a typo on your side Edited January 13, 20233 yr by ZappyZap
January 13, 20233 yr I posted a screenshot of my pbs Datastore in my answer above in the spoiler but I can post another one. You look for something special? I can also delete the Datastore, my backups are not really necessary for me system.
February 19, 20233 yr Heyho, thanks fo this Docker Image its working great and i could bring my Backup Strategy to the next level. BUT dadummm... as shown by the "Open Files" Tools, PBS is holding a file open ".lock" which is keeping my device spinning. Is there a solution to get this file in the cache only and everything else like normal, so that the disk can spin down? Or can i split up the locations? that the .cache directory is on another share or something like that? Thanks for help
February 19, 20233 yr Author Quote Heyho, thanks fo this Docker Image its working great and i could bring my Backup Strategy to the next level. BUT dadummm... Oh i did not make this docker container all credit to Ayufan, i only create the template for easy use on unraid Quote as shown by the "Open Files" Tools, PBS is holding a file open ".lock" which is keeping my device spinning.

To be honest i did not hit this use case so hard for me to comment but i will try to replicate on my test server and see if there could be a solution Edited February 19, 20233 yr by ZappyZap
February 20, 20233 yr I'm running into the username/password not being accepted error. This is well documented on the GitHub page, e.g. https://github.com/ayufan/pve-backup-server-dockerfiles/issues/16#issuecomment-1049945808 and the solution seems simple enough, just not sure were to edit this? It can be solved by creating tmpfs mountpoint at /run Can I do this in the template?
February 20, 20233 yr Author 8 hours ago, m920x said: Can I do this in the template? this is already implemented in the template : --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/run
February 20, 20233 yr 🤦♂️Thanks for that, didn't scroll over far enough in the extra parameters. Log is showing this error continuously. Error: Address already in use (os error 98) rm: cannot remove '/etc/proxmox-backup/.*.lck': No such file or directory rm: cannot remove '/etc/proxmox-backup/*.lock': No such file or directory Not sure what is going on; the service is reachable via HTTPS but the login still doesn't work. Updated Unraid, restarted array, tried removing and cleaning out PBS container and reinstalling, but no dice.

Proxmox Backup Server had nothing to do with this error. It was because of a big copy job which was running on another disk to that time, the problem was, that the folder structure was on this Disk and everytime a new file was moved, there was a little read/write on the Disk, therefore the Disk was active for a short time. Now the copy job is done (5TB) and all disks could spin down...
