User description

What & why

if your running old vms or older proxmoxes, there bootorder can be using legacy values,
because of this the bootorder list shows nothing selected and no disks

this is an example of a legacy single bootorder

{
	"options": {
		"acpi": 1,
		"agent": "enabled=1",
		"boot": "c",
		"bootdisk": "scsi0",
		"hotplug": "",
		"kvm": 1,
		"onboot": 1,
		"ostype": "l26",
		"protection": 0,
		"smbios1": "uuid=f90aa250-704c-4ea8-9ea0-6f0dcbdbd14b",
		"tablet": 1
	}
}

this is an example of multiple bootdisks

{
	"options": {
		"acpi": 1,
		"agent": "0",
		"boot": "order=scsi0;ide2;net0",
		"bootdisk": "",
		"hotplug": "",
		"kvm": 1,
		"onboot": 0,
		"ostype": "l26",
		"protection": 0,
		"smbios1": "uuid=e1a12cc8-f280-483c-bcb5-5a82d0fc2bbb",
		"tablet": 1
	}
}

Scope

  • This PR does one thing. Unrelated changes (a security fix + a feature + a refactor) belong
    in separate PRs so each can be reviewed and reverted on its own.

How it was tested

tested using LIVE PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS (i live dangerously!)

Checklist

  • There's a linked issue and the approach was discussed — or this is a small, obvious fix.
  • The test suite passes locally, and I added/updated tests for this change.
  • It's scoped to the title and doesn't touch unrelated files.
  • If I used an AI assistant, I have read, understood and tested every line myself (this is
    not unreviewed generated output), and I've named the assistant/model below — we record it
    for licensing & compliance review.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Show and edit legacy VM boot orders correctly

What Changed

  • Legacy boot settings such as c, a, d, and n are now translated into the matching disks, CD-ROMs, and network devices in the Boot Order panel.
  • Explicit ordered devices continue to appear in their configured order alongside legacy settings.
  • Boot devices and their details are read correctly from raw VM configuration, so older VMs display their selected disks and device information.
  • Saving or reordering the list continues to use the current explicit boot-order format.

Impact

✅ Legacy VMs show their configured boot devices
✅ Accurate boot-order editing for older Proxmox configurations
✅ Clearer disk, CD-ROM, and network device details

VM configuration boot order

Layer / File(s) Summary
Section value resolution

getValue returns existing section keys, including empty values.
Boot-order parsing and device display
web/src/vm_config.js
The Options tab skips legacy floppy entry a, preserves hard disk, CD-ROM, and network handling, and appends explicit order= devices. Device details use raw configuration values.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fd2c1

This localized change updates legacy VM boot-order handling so older configurations display their devices correctly; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 too large.)

Full details: Secret Handling

Explanation

The PR diff adds no hardcoded credential, API key, token, or private-key material. The changed source only updates getValue and boot-order parsing, and the generated web/index.html contains no matching secret literals. Added lines contain no password, token, secret, authorization, credential, private-key, archive, or logging indicators. The changes read VM configuration and render device details; they do not write key material to config/ or a backup archive, and they add no logging calls.

Full details: Server-Side Authorization

Explanation

The PR changes only web/src/vm_config.js and the generated web/index.html; the PR range contains no Python changes. The changes parse legacy boot values, preserve empty config keys, and read device details from the existing raw VM configuration. They do not add or modify a Flask route, server-side query, authentication decorator, RBAC check, or tenant/ACL scope. Existing VM requests continue to use authFetch, but no new access-control behavior depends on the frontend.

Full details: Encryption Invariants

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only web/src/vm_config.js boot-order parsing. The diff removes legacy alphabetic disk mapping and updates comments; it does not add sensitive-field persistence, database schema changes, encryption-format changes, or master-key loader changes. The pegaprox/core/keystore.py path is unchanged, so its loose-permission skip behavior is unaffected.

Full details: Migration Safety

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes web/src/vm_config.js boot-order parsing, raw device detail lookup, and empty-value handling. The cumulative diff also updates the generated web/index.html bundle for those changes. No changed lines touch cross-cluster live migration, ESXi import, rolling node updates, node evacuation, or site recovery. Existing replication and rollback code is unchanged, so the migration-safety failure condition does not apply.

Full details: Agpl Attribution

Explanation

The PR changes only web/index.html and web/src/vm_config.js. plugins/client_portal/portal.html and its supporting files are unchanged, and the portal still contains the required Powered by PegaProx attribution, website, source, and AGPL links. NOTICE is unchanged. No dependency manifest changed, so the PR adds no dependency.

Thanks! Boot order is one of those areas where a small change can bite legacy configs, so we'll review this one properly before it lands rather than fast-merge. Heads up too: web/index.html is a generated bundle our side, so we rebuild that from web/src ourselves — the vm_config.js change is the part that matters. Noted it for review. — MK

@mkellermann97 sure no worries!
in theory as my example above shows, 2 different servers with 2 different outputs
both servers now show a boot order correctly,
also i keep forgetting about the index.html sorry my bad!
