# Backup Client (PySide6)

Portable Windows client UI that drives the Proxmox FastAPI orchestrator via HTTPS.

## Features
- Profile management (name + folder list) stored next to the executable in `config.json`.
- Folders list, Task Scheduler toggle, SSH credentials (username/password) for the pull backup.
- Progress bar, status label and log stream fed by the orchestrator's `/backup/status` and `/backup/log` endpoints.
- Login prompt when the stored API token expires or is missing.

## Getting started
1. Install dependencies (`pip install -e .` inside the `client` folder or build a PyInstaller bundle).
2. Launch the client: `python -m backup_client.ui` (PyPI-style module entry uses the `main()` function).
3. Use the UI to create/save profiles, add folders, enter the Windows host/SSH info, and click **Esegui backup**.
4. Config (server URL, profiles, scheduler flag, token) is persisted in `config.json` sitting beside the executable for portability.

## Scheduling and packaging notes
- The Task Scheduler switch is persisted but wiring to `schtasks` should be done via scripts.
- `rsync.exe`, `OpenSSH`, and wrapper scripts live on the Windows client; this UI only triggers the server pull.
- See `scheduler/manage_scheduler.ps1` for a helper that takes `-Action Enable|Disable`, `-TaskName`, `-ExecutablePath`, and optional profile metadata to build the `schtasks /Create` call. The checkbox now invokes that script, so enabling the scheduler creates the `ONLOGON` task that calls `BackupClient.exe --auto --profile "<name>"` and disabling the switch removes it.
- After PyInstaller finishes, run `post_build.bat path\to\dist\<bundle>` to copy `config.json` and the scheduler helper into the same directory as `BackupClient.exe` so the runtime can find them (`post_build.bat` copies `config.json` to the root and the `scheduler` folder beside the exe).
- Run `package_client.sh` from Bash/WSL or `package_client.bat` from cmd/PowerShell: both invoke PyInstaller with the required `--add-data` flags, target `dist/BackupClient`, and call `post_build.bat` so `config.json` and the scheduler helper travel with the exe.
