README

PHP SDK for the Proxmox Backup Server API. Generated from the upstream apidoc.js from Proxmox Backup Server via openapi-generator-cli with custom Mustache template overrides.

Not an official Proxmox project. Community SDK derived from the upstream apidoc.js. Always verify against the upstream API viewer. https://pbs.proxmox.com/.

Requires PHP ≥ 7.4.

Install

composer require client-api/pbs

Usage

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use ClientApi\Pbs\Configuration;
use ClientApi\Pbs\Pve;

$cfg = Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()
    ->setHost('https://pbs1.example.com:8007/api2/json')
    ->setApiKey('Authorization', 'PBSAPIToken=user@realm!tokenid:uuid-secret');

$pve = new Pbs($cfg);

// Per-tag accessors are lazily instantiated and share the same Configuration.
$status = $pbs->qemu()->qemuVmStatus(node: 'pbs1', vmid: 100);
$nodes  = $pbs->nodes()->nodesGetNodes();

The unified Pbs class wraps each per-tag API class (QemuApi, LxcApi, ClusterApi, NodesApi, …) so consumers don't need to instantiate them individually.

Compound configs

PVE encodes many fields as CLI-style shorthand strings (net0=virtio,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1). Round-trip helpers are emitted for every compound config schema:

use ClientApi\Pbs\Model\PveQemuNetConfig;

$cfg = new PveQemuNetConfig([
    'model'    => 'virtio',
    'bridge'   => 'vmbr0',
    'firewall' => 1,
]);
$shorthand = $cfg->toShorthand();
// → 'virtio,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1'

$parsed = PveQemuNetConfig::fromShorthand($shorthand);

Indexed families

Numbered properties (net0..net31, mp0..mp255, …) are exposed on every model as a single collapsed getNets() / setNets() accessor. The per-index getNet0/setNet0/… methods are filtered out of the class surface (the wire format is preserved internally via a __call magic dispatcher):

$req->setNets([
    0 => 'virtio,bridge=vmbr0',
    3 => 'e1000,bridge=vmbr1',
]);
// Wire format: { "net0": "virtio,bridge=vmbr0", "net3": "e1000,bridge=vmbr1" }
