-3. Download and install the following git modules in order from top to bottom:
-
-# git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/<PACKAGE.git>
-
-You currently need the following packages:
-
-libqb.git
-corosync-pve.git
-openais-pve.git
-pve-common.git
-pve-cluster.git
-redhat-cluster-pve.git
-lvm.git
-pve-access-control.git
-pve-storage.git
-pve-qemu-kvm.git
-qemu-server.git
-vncterm.git
-vzctl.git
-pve-manager.git
-pve-kernel-2.6.32.git
-fence-agents-pve.git
-
-Most source can be installed with 'make dinstall' command.
-
-4. Reboot the system.
-5. Learn to use the quilt patch scripts.
-6. Happy coding.
-
-There is an experimental package containing the API documentation
-as ExtJS application:
-
-pve2-api-doc.git
-
-You can view the source code at:

+= Setup PVE Development Environment =
+
+0. Read https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Developer_Documentation
+1. Install Debian 9 'stretch' (you can also start from a PVE installation and
+ skip step 2 - 5, 7 - 11)
+2. Configure the network interface(s)
+3. Change the IP address of your hostname for proper name resolution
+ in /etc/hosts
+ Using 127.0.1.1 will not work, so change it to an IP address from your
+ local network!
+
+4: Check that the Debian repositories are set properly.
+ See https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList for more information.
+
+5. Optional: Install openssh-server and connect via ssh to the host.
+
+ run: apt-get update && apt-get install openssh-server
+ Connect via ssh to host and switch user to root
+
+6. Configure 'pvetest' repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/:
+
+ run: echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian stretch pvetest" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-development.list
+
+7. Add the repository key:
+
+ run: wget -O- "http://download.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-ve-release-5.x.gpg" | apt-key add -
+
+8. run: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
+9. run: apt-get install proxmox-ve
+10. run: mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list.bak
+
+11. You should now have a working Proxmox VE installation.
+ Open a browser: https://<host_IP_address>:8006 e.g. https://10.0.0.90:8006
+
+
+= Install build prerequisites for development environment =
+
+NOTE: this is a huge list intended to be able to build (almost) all packages,
+from the UI/API components to backend components to our Linux Kernel.
+If you only want to hack on specific topics you won't need most of those.
+We try to have a complete list of build dependencies in each source
+repositories 'debian/control' file. If you run `make deb` dpkg-buildpackge will
+stop and tell you if you miss some packages needed.
+
+12. For installing the most important, always needed, ones run:
+
+apt-get install build-essential git git-email debhelper pve-doc-generator
+
+Additionally, for quickly installing (almost) all build dependencies run:
+
+apt-get install autotools-dev autogen dh-autoreconf dkms doxygen check pkg-config \

+= Compile PVE packages from Source =
+
+13: Download and install git repositories as Proxmox modules:
+
+ run: mkdir /root/proxmox && cd /root/proxmox
+
+ run: git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-common.git
+
+ 'pve-common.git' is some kind of starting repository and needed for some
+ other repositories as dependency.
+ Install this to get an idea of how the installation process is working.
+
+ See https://git.proxmox.com/ for all available repositories.
+
+14: Most packages can be installed with 'make dinstall' command.
+ run: cd pve-common && make dinstall
+
+15: Reboot the system.
+16. Learn to use the quilt patch scripts.
+17. Happy coding!

+= REST vs. SOAP =
We decided to change our SOAP API (1.X) and use a REST like API. The
concept is described in [1] (Resource Oriented Architecture
REST API using JSON. So we were able to remove the server side
template toolkit completely.
-JSON and JSON Schema
-====================
+= JSON and JSON Schema =
We use JSON as data format, because it is simple and parse-able by any
web browser.
we can automatically generate the whole API Documentation, and we can
verify all parameters and return values.
-An great side effect was that we are able to use JSON Schema to
+A great side effect was that we are able to use JSON Schema to
produce command line argument parsers automatically. In fact, the REST
API and the command line tools use the same code.
- automatic generation of API documentation
- easy way to create command line tools (using same API).
-API Implementation (PVE::RESTHandler)
-=====================================
+= API Implementation (PVE::RESTHandler) =
All classes exposing methods on the API use PVE::RESTHandler as base class.
type => 'string',
},
code => sub {
- my ($conn, $resp, $param) = @_;

return $param->{text};
}
The HTTP server use the URL (a path) to find the corresponding method.
