From a828f7eb1f2de3d41c40429ee3437e14a83eef58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zaphod-black Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 18:31:12 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add live backup progress monitoring with automatic completion detection MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User Experience Enhancement: Show real-time backup progress instead of just asking if user wants to follow logs. Changes to Backup Progress Display: 1. Automatic Progress Monitoring: - No longer prompts to follow logs - Automatically starts showing journalctl output - Displays PBS client's built-in progress bars and stats - Runs in background with PID tracking 2. Visual Progress Box: ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ Backup Progress (Live) ║ ║ Press Ctrl+C to exit (backup continues in background) ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ 3. Automatic Completion Detection: - Monitors systemd service with `systemctl is-active` - Polls every 2 seconds until service completes - Kills journal follow process when done - Shows final status (success or failure) 4. Helpful Post-Backup Information: - On success: Shows how to list snapshots - On failure: Shows how to check full logs - Includes repository info for easy copy/paste Applied to Two Functions: - run_backup_now() - Called after initial installation - Main menu option 4 - "Run backup now" Technical Implementation: - Uses `timeout 3600` to prevent runaway journal process - Background journal follow with PID capture - Clean process termination with kill + wait - Proper error handling for failed backups CHANGELOG.md Updates: - Added new "Live backup progress monitoring" feature - Listed all capabilities and use cases This provides immediate visual feedback and shows the user exactly what's happening during the backup process, including file counts, transfer speeds, and compression stats from PBS client. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- CHANGELOG.md | 6 +++ pbs-client-installer.sh | 108 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 2 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index a263a91..5022586 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -28,6 +28,12 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0 - PBS server setup guide (API token creation and permissions) - Common permission error troubleshooting - Explanation of backup types, schedules, and retention policies +- **Live backup progress monitoring** + - Real-time log following when running backups + - Automatic completion detection + - Shows PBS client's built-in progress bars and statistics + - Can exit with Ctrl+C (backup continues in background) + - Applied to both "Run backup now" menu option and post-install backup ### Changed - Installation instructions now use `git clone` instead of `wget` diff --git a/pbs-client-installer.sh b/pbs-client-installer.sh index fdc5af9..59b0e47 100755 --- a/pbs-client-installer.sh +++ b/pbs-client-installer.sh @@ -795,25 +795,47 @@ EOF run_backup_now() { echo RUN_NOW=$(prompt "Do you want to run a backup now?
