Installs containerized proxmox backup server. using the proxmox backup server docker image (https://github.com/nikosch86/docker-proxmox-backup-server).
Three users are created, an admin user for general management, a backup user to be used by consumers of the backup server and a monitoring user to be used by the monitoring tool.
A token for monitoring is created, upon first execution of this role, the token is displayed as debug output.

This role goes together well with the zabbix template (https://github.com/nikosch86/zabbix-proxmox-backup-server).

None.

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

pbs_service_dir: /opt/pbs
The directory of the docker compose deployment for this service.

pbs_service_user: root
The user that runs the docker compose deployment for this service.

pbs_storage_dir: /data/pbs
The directory where the backups are stored.

pbs_datastore: backups
The name of the datastore, this is only cosmetic.

pbs_ssl_certificate: false
The path to the SSL certificate.
It defaults to false, which will cause pbs to create a self signed certificate.

pbs_ssl_certificate_key: false
The path to the SSL certificate key.
It defaults to false, which will cause pbs to create a self signed certificate.

pbs_timezone: "Asia/Dubai"
The timezone of the server.

pbs_user_admin_password: "change_me"
The password for the admin user.

pbs_user_backup_password: "change_me"
The password for the backup user.

pbs_user_monitoring_password: "change_me"
The password for the monitoring user.

pbs_network_mode: "port"
This variable can be used to control the network mode of the container.
Setting it to "host" will allow you to control access using the host firewall.

Docker needs to be installed, use the geerlingguy.docker for example.

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: servers
      become: true
      
      roles:
      - role: pbs
        tags: [deployment]
        vars:
          pbs_service_dir: "/home/{{ service_user }}/container/pbs"
          pbs_storage_dir: /mnt/data/pbs
          pbs_ssl_certificate: "/etc/ssl/private/server.crt"
          pbs_ssl_certificate_key: "/etc/ssl/private/server.key"
          pbs_user_admin_password: "{{ admin_password_from_vault }}"

Please note that a monitoring user, along with a token is generated, it will only be shown upon first execution of the role.
