A virtual machine is a program that can execute an entire
|
|
|
|
|
|
operating system inside an emulated hardware environment.

A container is an isolated user space. Programs run directly on
|
|
|
|
|
|
the host's kernel, but with limited access to the host resources.

`Rust`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rust is a new, fast and memory-efficient system programming
|
2020-04-14 15:12:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
language. It has no runtime or garbage collector. Rust’s rich type
|
2019-03-02 09:31:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
system and ownership model guarantee memory-safety and
|
|
|
|
|
|
thread-safety. I can eliminate many classes of bugs
|
|
|
|
|
|
at compile-time.

Is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and
|
|
|
|
|
|
beautiful documentation. It was originally created for the
|
2020-04-14 15:12:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
documentation of the Python programming language. It has excellent facilities for the
|
2019-02-28 18:23:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
documentation of software projects in a range of languages.

Filesystem in Userspace (`FUSE <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace>`_)
|
2020-04-14 15:12:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
defines an interface which makes it possible to implement a filesystem in
|
2020-02-28 10:55:25 +00:00
|
|
|
|
userspace as opposed to implementing it in the kernel. The fuse
|
2020-04-14 15:12:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
kernel driver handles filesystem requests and sends them to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
userspace application.

Remote
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A remote Proxmox Backup Server installation and credentials for a user on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can pull datastores from a remote to a local datastore in order to
|
|
|
|
|
|
have redundant backups.

Schedule
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Certain tasks, for example pruning and garbage collection, need to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
performed on a regular basis. Proxmox Backup Server uses a subset of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
`systemd Time and Date Specification
|
|
|
|
|
|
<https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.time.html#>`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The subset currently supports time of day specifications and weekdays, in
|
|
|
|
|
|
addition to the shorthand expressions 'minutely', 'hourly', 'daily'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is no support for specifying timezones, the tasks are run in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
timezone configured on the server.
