proxmox-backup-arm64

Script for building Proxmox Backup Server 2.x for Armbian64 based on Bullseye
At least 4 GB are required for compiling. On devices with low memory, SWAP must be used (see help section).

Build manually

Install build essentials and dependencies

apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
	build-essential curl ca-certificates sudo git lintian fakeroot \
	pkg-config libudev-dev libssl-dev libapt-pkg-dev libclang-dev \
	libpam0g-dev

Install rustup

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s
source ~/.cargo/env

Start build script

./build.sh 

or

./build.sh client (build only proxmox-backup-client package)

The compilation can take several hours.
After that you can find the finished packages in the folder packages/

Build using docker

You can build arm64 .deb packages using the provided Dockerfile and docker buildx:

docker buildx build -o packages --platform linux/arm64 .

Once the docker build is completed, packages will be copied from the docker build image to a folder named packages in the root folder.

Create SWAP (at least 4G on low memory systems like Raspberry PI)

from https://askubuntu.com/questions/178712/how-to-increase-swap-space/1263160#1263160

Check swap memory:

swapon --show or free -h

Create and enable 4G swap file:

sudo fallocate -l 4G /var/swap
sudo mkswap /var/swap
sudo swapon /var/swap
