Proxmox Backup Server as a shutdown target. Each host now has a type (Proxmox VE or
Proxmox Backup Server) that decides how it is talked to. PBS uses its own PBSAPIToken=<id>:<secret> header scheme and needs the Sys.PowerManagement privilege
on /system/status, which is why entering one as a PVE host used to fail as an invalid
token. The node name is a free label for PBS entries: PBS ignores the node in the API
path, so the shutdown always addresses /nodes/localhost/status.
Self-test results per host. The scheduled credential check now records its outcome
for every target (credentials_ok, power_mgmt_ok, last_test_at, last_test_error).
They appear in /api/status and in the dashboard's host table, so an expired token is
visible long before an outage needs it.
/api/health reports the shutdown targets: hosts_total, hosts_ok, hosts_selftest_ok and hosts_selftest_at. The status field and the HTTP code are
deliberately unchanged — they still track the engine, not the credentials.
Live preview of the shutdown sequence under the host list in the wizard. It shows the
order the engine would actually use, including which hosts share a stage and therefore go
at the same time — previously that was only readable in a tooltip, and the staged
behaviour was not visible at all. The Order field now also says 0 = first in its
label, and it is hidden while This host is ticked: that flag is the first sort key, so
a marked host is last whatever number it carries. The value is kept, so unticking
restores it.
Changed
Hosts are shut down in stages instead of strictly one after another. Targets sharing
a shutdown order are now commanded at the same time, and the appliance's own host still
forms the final stage. Together with a hard per-target deadline this means one machine
that stops responding can no longer delay the other hosts, the poll loop or the battery
countdown.
The feed diagram shows a host's name only; the product name is no longer prefixed, which
kept overflowing the node. The type stays visible as a chip in the dashboard's host table
and in the host card's heading, shortened there to Proxmox BS so a Backup Server row is
no wider than a Proxmox VE one.
This host is hidden for Proxmox Backup Server entries in LXC deployments, where the
combination is impossible — an LXC never runs on a Backup Server. It stays available in
Docker deployments, where the container may genuinely sit on the PBS and the mark decides
whether it shuts itself down last.
