[pve-devel] [PATCH 00/10] Single-file-restore GUI for PBS snapshots

[Stefan Reiter]

Implements the necessary API for allowing single file restore via the PVE web
GUI.

This requires some adaptations of the HTTP server, to allow data streaming
without buffering - otherwise bigger restores would a) use up too much memory b)
get slowed down by the pvedaemon->pveproxy->client return path. Instead, we
transfer the data via a temporary FIFO.

Known issues/further work:
* restore VMs are not shown or stopped, they always run until timeout. Ideas
  would be to stop them when a user closes the restore window (but what if
  another user/tab/... is using the VM too?), or start a worker task for them
  (how to detect new VMs? parse proxmox-file-restore status before and after
  command?). Thoughts appreciated :)
* restarting the daemon or proxy marks the worker as failed and correctly
  stops it, but the browser says the download is OK - just with not enough data.
  Not the best experience, but unsure on how to fix this. Chunked encoding
  maybe, and terminate with an invalid chunk in case of error/abort?
* downloading an entire container archive (clicking on the root) doesn't
  currently work. I'll fix that in proxmox-file-restore.

Not required, but looks better with:
