In das Verzeichnis wechseln und mittels go das File bauen. Moment, go fehlt uns noch.

apt install golang-go

Danach

 cd rest-server

Rest-Server starten

root@rockpro64:/# rest-server --path /home/rock64/backup --no-auth
Data directory: /home/rock64/backup
Authentication disabled

Starting server on :8000

OK, der Rest-Server läuft. Dann mal ausprobieren.

Backup erstellen und Test

Init

root@frank-MS-7C37:~# restic -r rest:http://192.168.3.11:8000/ init

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.

backup

Auf dem Rest-Server liegen die Daten in dem angegebenen Verzeichnis --path /home/rock64/backup

root@rockpro64:/# ls -lha /home/rock64/backup/

drwxr-xr-x   7 root   root   4.0K May 10 09:47 .

User Authentifizierung

Zur Benutzerauthentifizierung benutzt der Rest-Server das Tool htpasswd, dazu muss folgendes installiert sein.

apt install apache2-utils

Danach kann man im Backup Pfad die .htaccess anlegen.

root@rockpro64:/home/rock64/backup# htpasswd -B -c .htpasswd frank   
New password: 
Re-type new password: 
Adding password for user frank

Sieht dann im Verzeichnis so aus.

root@rockpro64:/home/rock64/backup# ls -lha
total 36K
drwxr-xr-x   7 root   root   4.0K May 10 10:16 .
drwxr-xr-x   5 rock64 rock64 4.0K May 10 09:43 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root   root     67 May 10 10:17 .htpasswd
-rw-------   1 root   root    155 May 10 09:47 config

drwx------   2 root   root   4.0K May 10 10:18 locks
drwx------   2 root   root   4.0K May 10 09:49 snapshots

Man kann jetzt, auf dieses Verzeichnis, nur noch drauf zugreifen wenn man sich mit USER und PASSWORD authentifiziert.

Und noch zwei Dinge, die interessant sind und noch ausprobiert werden müssen

The --append-only mode allows creation of new backups but prevents deletion and modification of existing backups. This can be useful when backing up systems that have a potential of being hacked.

To prevent your users from accessing each others' repositories, you may use the --private-repos flag which grants access only when a subdirectory with the same name as the user is specified in the repository URL. For example, user "foo" using the repository URLs rest:https://foo:pass@host:8000/foo or rest:https://foo:pass@host:8000/foo/ would be granted access, but the same user using repository URLs rest:https://foo:pass@host:8000/ or rest:https://foo:pass@host:8000/foobar/ would be denied access.

--append-only

Schützt Backups vor diesen fiesen Dinger, wie heißen die noch in der Windows Welt? Emotet oder so?

Heute mal was Zeit gehabt zum Spielen. Rest-Server aufgesetzt, mittels Letsencrypt die TLS Verbindung eingerichtet und läuft alles. Bin gerade mal mein Home-Verzeichnis am hochladen. Evt. schreibe ich dazu einen separaten Beitrag.

[FrankM]

Rest-Server in Version v0.10.0 released. Test folgt die Tage..

Release v0.10.0 · restic/rest-server

Rest Server is a high performance HTTP server that implements restic's REST backend API. - Release v0.10.0 · restic/rest-server

GitHub (github.com)

[FrankM]

Dann mal eben ausprobiert. Auf meinem Server war die Version 0.9.7 selber, mit go, gebaut. Dann mache ich das auch mit der v0.10.0 so. Aber bevor ich anfange, wird die v0.9.7 gesichert.

mv /usr/local/bin/rest-server /usr/local/bin/rest-server_0_9_7

So erspare ich mir im Problemfall das selber bauen.

Ok, dann die neue Version bauen.

git clone https://github.com/restic/rest-server.git
cd rest-server
go run build.go

Danach befindet sich im Verzeichnis die Binärdatei rest-server

Die kopieren wir jetzt

cp rest-server /usr/local/bin

Danach kurzer Test

# rest-server --version
rest-server 0.10.0 (v0.10.0-6-g037fe06) compiled with go1.11.6 on linux/amd64

Gut Version passt

Dann ein Backup gestartet. Das sichert einen Teil meines Home-Verzeichnis

So weit funktioniert das genau wie vorher. Im Changelog stand ja was von Subfoldern. Das betrifft mich nicht, weil ich für jeden User genau ein Verzeichnis habe.

So mit alles Gut Dann warte ich mal morgen ab, ob die täglichen Backups der Server rund laufen.
