Add Description for vm bridges

[Kaputtnique]

🌟 Briefly describe the feature

add description/comment field in the "Select network bridge"

📝 Detailed description

I would like to have a comment/Description field .. like in pve .. if someone has 5 bridges or more.. then have to watch to the bridge and see which one i wanna use..

instead of that maybe add the comment field into the process of creating new lxc/vm

"Select network bridge"

"vmbr0 Bridge COMMENTFIELD"

i would love <3 :-D

💡 Why is this useful?

to see without watching again which bridge i wanna use

if see any errors (of false spoken) , take it

@Kaputtnique
If got someting cooking, please try in the Development Repo bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://git.community-scripts.org/community-scripts/ProxmoxVED/raw/branch/main/ct/debian.sh)"

To add a description for a bridge create the file nano /usr/local/community-scripts/bridge_description and add the vaules there like

vmbr0:LAN 
vmbr1:WAN

Please try and give feedback. If it works it will eventually get moved to main with the next build.func feautre bump.

its working as expected.

but it is possible to get the hashtag values of the /etc/network/interfaces instead of puttin it manual into a file? I mean, yea u have to do it 1 time. buit

i got something like this

awk ' /^iface vmbr[0-9]+/ {iface=$2} iface && /^#/ {print iface ":" substr($0,2); iface=""} ' /etc/network/interfaces

to avoid manual tipping hehe is it possible to use this ? i did not tested it with more then 2 bridges

Why not the internal?

Then so:

root@devpc:~#  COMMENT=$(grep '^#' /etc/network/interfaces| sed 's/^#\s*//' | tail -n1)
root@devpc:~# echo "$COMMENT"
Im Bridge enp3s0

Then so:

root@devpc:# COMMENT=$(grep '^#' /etc/network/interfaces| sed 's/^#\s*//' | tail -n1)
root@devpc:# echo "$COMMENT"
Im Bridge enp3s0

if that is possible it would be better yea. my 1 line works too.. but "native" ( get from system, instead of using scripts over scripts to get it ) is better. :-D

i tested ur one line.. but it shows only one? maybe i use the command wrong..

Ih my, i did not even know this would work, i will refactor it next week.

[michelroegl-brunner]

Refactored so it uses the built-in comment. Will be pushed to main on next feature bump.

very good @michelroegl-brunner works perfect. thanks for the fast support and implementation (i know in dev.. "soon" in main xD)
