rsync tmp

(work in progress)

Useful for migrating server to server.

Overview

1. Destination

   1. Dependencies

   2. Preinstall

   3. Login as user

   4. Setup and enable rsync server

      sudo nano /etc/rsyncd.conf
      

      Format:

      [rsync_name]
          path = /path/to/backups/as/specified/in/local/destination/in/backup_config.yml
          comment = Backup folder
          uid = seed
          gid = seed
          read only = no
          list = yes
      

      Example:

      [backup]
          path = /home/seed/Backups/Cloudbox/Cloudbox
          comment = Backup folder
          uid = seed
          gid = seed
          read only = no
          list = yes
      

      Start Rsync:

      sudo systemctl start rsync
      

   5. Create backup folder.

      mkdir -p /home/seed/Backups/Cloudbox/Cloudbox
      

2. Source

   1. Create SSH key

      ssh-keygen

      ➜ ssh-keygen
      Generating public/private rsa key pair.
      Enter file in which to save the key (/home/seed/.ssh/id_rsa):
      Created directory '/home/seed/.ssh'.
      Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
      Enter same passphrase again:
      Your identification has been saved in /home/seed/.ssh/id_rsa.
      Your public key has been saved in /home/seed/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
      The key fingerprint is:
      SHA256:PLaFOPjdddFV2ePo6hRnctslaeWEq9wLnbD89/rkkVE seed@mediaserver
      The key's randomart image is:
      +---[RSA 2048]----+
      |          .o   oo|
      |         .. o .. |
      |      . .  . . .E|
      |     . * .  o .o.|
      |    . = S +=+*+o.|
      |     . = * *O++oo|
      |      . o o..o.+.|
      |         ..   ooo|
      |         ..   .+=|
      +----[SHA256]-----+
      

   2. Send SSH key to Destination server.

      ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa seed@ipaddress
      

      Type in your password to confirm.

      /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/user/seed/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
      
      Number of key(s) added:        1
      
      Now try logging into the machine, with:   "ssh 'seed@newserveripaddress'"
      and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.
      

   3. Test rsync URL.

      Format

      rsync -rdt rsync://user@newserveripaddress/rsync_name
      

      Example:

      rsync -rdt rsync://seed@1.2.3.4/backup
      

   4. Setup backup config.

      backup_config.yml

      Format:

      rsync:
        enable: true
        destination: rsync://user@newserveripaddress/rsync_name

      Example:

      local:
        enable: false
        destination: /home/{{user}}/Backups/Cloudbox/Cloudbox
      rclone:
        enable: false
        destination: whatever
      rsync:
        enable: true
        destination: rsync://seed@1.2.3.4/backup

   5. Run backup.

3. Destination

   1. Verify local backup folder has backup tarballs.

   2. Run restore
