    Syncronize servers using rsync over SSH next door or across the world

    Posted · Edited by xman111

    ya, i can't get this thing working.   do both servers need to have the same keys in their directories?  or are there different keys for each machine?  does it matter what machine generates the keys?   I will always just be going from my unraid server (host) to the freenas server (remote), not the other way. I seem to have some permissions or something werid going on, wasted another 2 hours last night and am no further ahead.

     

    I was going to setup OPENvpn client on Freenas but everyone said this is easier, so I switched my game plan.  I don't know how a normal person does it, i see how it would be just too much.  I am the goto computer guy for all my friends and family and just can't figure it out. 

     

    Would be easier just setting up a pfsense box at my parents house with VPN :)

    thanks ken-ji.  i got most of it working, just didn't survive a re-boot.. thanks for helping me, i want to get this Freenas out of my house and over to my parents as soon as possible in case of a fire or anything else.   Don't want to move it until I got this figured out.  I have been working on computers for 30 years but this stuff is fairly complicated.  Even getting the key file from one computer to the other was a pain in the ass :)  Going to read through the thread again to see if i missed anything. 

     

    One other thing i was thinking of, if I want to sync from my unraid server to the Freenas, should i generate all the keys and such on the freenas server?  i will only be doing one way syncs from my unraid server over to the Freenas.

    once i got to this step:

    # Copy files back to /root/.ssh folder and set permissions for key files and known_hosts and authorized_keys cd /root/.ssh cp /boot/config/sshroot/* /root/.ssh/ chmod 600 *

     

    I rebooted my Unraid and got this..   Everything was working until i rebooted Unraid.  I think the Freenas side is ok still.  I was reading and was able to fix the 500 server error by commenting those lines in my go file and ssh into the box and typing chmod +x /sbin/init.  Not sure what is going on, thought i had it beat.

    @xman111 You only need to do the mkdir .ssh; chmod .ssh part once. since freeNAS lives on a drive partition, the changes will persist. you only need that part of script for Unraid, as the .ssh directory is lost every shutdown/reboot.

     

    in you instance, just run this on the freeNAS CLI 

    
cd ~
mkdir -p .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh 
mv Tower-rsync-key.pub .ssh/ 
cd .ssh/ 
cat Tower-rsync-key.pub >> authorized_keys
chmod 600 authorized_keys

    got an error after the cat Tower line..  no such file or directory..

    hey Jonathanm, i just stopped the parity and decided to copy the files over.  I didn't want to wait the 10 hours, just to then copy the files over, then do the parity again.  did I screw it up?  or am i just unprotected until the copying and parity is done?

    I was able to Telnet into the server and use midnight commander.  I browsed to disks, then the Seagate disk.  I then copied 1 directory back to /mnt/disk3, I hope this is right :)
