- Backend: None = keep current size (no auto-shrink); only resize when value explicitly provided
- Frontend: Target Disk Size field shows detected size, disabled (not submitted)
- Checkbox 'Enable disk resize' unlocks the field for editing
Deletes intermediate files as conversion progresses:
- Archive (.7z/.zip) after extraction
- Source VMDK after qemu-img convert
- Local QCOW2 after qm disk import
Reduces peak storage from zip+VMDK+QCOW2 to just the largest
single file — critical for the 94 GB rootfs with 87 GB images.
Replaces flat 30 GB default with proportional sizing:
- 500 GB → 50 GB, 200 GB → 20 GB, 80 GB → 20 GB
- Less aggressive for large disks, safer for GRUB boot
- Update UI hint and README to reflect new rule
- Backend cleanup_staging accepts session_id, deletes whole
STAGING_ROOT/{guid}/ dir when provided
- CleanupRequest model gets session_id field
- Frontend cleanup proxy passes session_id from body
- api_client passes session_id to backend
- reuseImage JS includes session_id in cleanup payload
1. submit_job() was creating empty tmp/out/{vmid}/ dirs via the old
flat STAGING_OUT path. Removed — _process_job handles this via
_staging_out() in the session-aware path.
2. Copy (re-convert) flow was hardcoding boot_type=uefi. Now uses
auto_detect_boot=true with boot_type=legacy as fallback, matching
the behavior of the original analyze→convert flow.
Each browser gets a UUID stored in localStorage, set as a cookie,
and attached to every API call. Files go to session-specific dirs:
/mnt/converter/in/{guid}/ — uploads, downloads, SCP pulls
/mnt/converter/out/{guid}/ — converted QCOW2s
Changes:
- base.html: generates UUID via crypto.randomUUID(), stores in
localStorage + cookie, exposes as window.VM_BENCH_SID
- Frontend: all endpoints accept session_id, _staging() helper
creates session-aware paths on demand
- JavaScript: session_id appended to all FormData, set as
X-Session-ID header on raw uploads
- Backend models: JobSubmissionRequest.session_id field added
- Provisioner: _staging_in/_staging_out helpers, source path
resolution uses session-aware directory
- Converter: extract_if_needed skips re-extraction if dir exists
After conversion completes, the user sees a form with VM Name and ID
prefilled, and three buttons:
- Clone (instant): qm clone --full via backend, takes seconds
- Copy (re-convert): shows CPU/RAM/Disk fields, re-runs full pipeline
- Clean Up & Finish: deletes staging, returns to start page
Backend: new /api/v1/clone endpoint → provisioner.clone_vm()
Frontend: new /session/clone proxy, api_client.clone_vm()
1. BIOS: provisioner now calls detect_efi() on the first disk when
auto_detect_boot=true. Detects EFI partition via guestfish.
Falls back to user's boot_type if detection inconclusive.
2. Reuse: 'Create Another VM' now shows an inline form asking only
for VM Name and ID, reusing the same disk image, format, and
boot settings from the completed job. No redirect needed.
qemu-img convert is the longest step but previously had no progress
updates — bar stuck at 10% until conversion completed.
Now _convert_with_progress() runs qemu-img in background and polls
output file size every 2s, updating progress with GiB done/total.
Progress flow for single disk:
5% queued → 10% starting → 10-55% converting (real-time)
→ 60% shrinking → 70% creating VM → 75-85% importing
→ 95% configuring → 100% done
The job submission receives the original filename (e.g. Debian_13_VMG.7z)
but qemu-img convert needs the actual VMDK path inside the archive.
Now reuse extract_if_needed() + discover_disk() from converter module
to locate the real disk image before conversion.
Replace stub provisioner with real Proxmox integration:
- qemu-img convert: source → QCOW2 in /mnt/converter/out/{vmid}/
- virt-resize --shrink --resize-force: auto-shrink >30 GiB disks
- qm create: VM with cores, RAM, network, SCSI controller
- qm importdisk: import each QCOW2 into Proxmox storage
- qm set: attach disks, configure boot (OVMF/SeaBIOS), EFI disk, serial
- Auto-destroy existing VM with same ID before recreating
- Background thread execution with in-memory status tracking
- Full logging throughout the conversion pipeline
