Sections here are really just placeholders with enough information to get started on building actual articles...

Better Permissions Handling

Proven on:

  • sudo apt install acl
  • sudo mkdir /FOOBAR
  • sudo chown -R :users /FOOBAR
  • sudo chmod -R g+ws /FOOBAR
  • sudo setfacl -R -m g:users:rwx /FOOBAR

Now, the directory /FOOBAR is writeable by anyone in the users group.

Development Testing for a Backup Server

Proven on:
Logo Debian.png
12 (bookworm)

Currently testing on a pair of LXCs, both configured as priveledged containers (tho this may not be needed).

  • VMID 999001: storage
  • VMID 999002: backup

Primary user on both is tinker (because remote access by root is stupid...)

On the PVE Server:

(setting up the storage for the test LXCs...)

  • mkdir /mnt/Storage-0
  • mkdir /mnt/Storage-1
  • mount -L Storage-0 /mnt/Storage-0
  • mount -L Storage-1 /mnt/Storage-1
  • vi /etc/fstab
LABEL=Storage-0     /mnt/Storage-0    ext4   defaults 0 0
LABEL=Storage-1     /mnt/Storage-1    ext4   defaults 0 0
  • pct set 999001 -mp0 /mnt/Storage-0,mp=/mnt/Storage # storage
  • pct set 999002 -mp0 /mnt/Storage-1,mp=/mnt/Storage # backup

On "storage"

  • ssh-keygen
  • ssh-copy-id tinker@backup
  • apt install acl rsync
  • setfacl -R -m u:tinker:rwx /mnt/Storage

On "backup"

  • ssh-keygen
  • ssh-copy-id tinker@storage
  • apt install acl rsync
  • setfacl -R -m u:tinker:rwx /mnt/Storage

Testing rsync commands

  • cd /mnt/Storage
  • rsync -Aaiz * backup:/mnt/Storage
    • copies all files to the backup machine
    • (& if you run it again, only copies NEW or CHANGED files)
  • rsync -Aaiz --delete * backup:/mnt/Storage
    • Will actually synchronize. (i.e. It will DELETE any files from the destination that have been removed on the source.)
    • DANGER...DANGER...DANGER  (this may NOT be exactly what you want to do in a backup situation.
