so default when i said was I Hit Enter on Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa): i didnt type in /root/.ssh/id_rsa i not sure what you mean /luckybackup there is not such directory it this article https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-server-backups-with-luckybackup its /root/.ssh and i never did su $USER i mentioned i dont even know what your talking about with that and what it does i did run /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd restart but did no help what does it exactly do ? and not sure when you say its a nightmare and security persepection so i want Main server to give 4 or 50 unraids if i had its public key i want then 4 other unraids to give there public keys to the main server so basiclly Main server would have its Private key and 49 public keys and 49 Backup servers all have 49 public keys cuz they need to talk to each other thats what i was meaning for that .. so they all can talk to each other as before 2 upgrades i had 5 Unraids they all had each others public keys and a couple Raspberry Pi keys so they all could run backups as they all backuped the Flash drive and the Appdatas to all the Servers this way 1 Servers Appdata/Flash/Docker was backed up to at least 4 other servers for redunacy so then if i had 50 servers then 49 servers would have Appdata/Flash/Docker of that one server for reducancy not that big i just use 50 as a big number i gonna try reboots and see if it will change.. i didnt reboot backup server as it was doing stuff and is there an easy way.. i wanted Root password but as soon as i do that Windows will not let me into the smb shares... but gonna try a reboot.. as i just frustrated ya... when in doubt reboot i guess i appreciate the help so far... lets hope a reboot fixes it

so here i started over i ran it all from the Lucky Backup Console running Default # rm -r /root/.ssh # ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair.

ok so first . i had to unstainll Luckybackup since i installed it a couple years ago and Running as root never exisited i then ran it.. you above asked what public key and private key am i using i used tower. as the private key.. and i use tower.pub as the public key above you see i ran the key-gen from the Console of Luckybackup # ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair.

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/tower Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/tower.pub and i mentioned that this is a nono Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa): /root/.ssh/tower you need to leave it and not type anything just hit enter to create /root/.ssh/id_rsa as you see when you create tower and tower.pub it causes problems i dont understand what you mean create keys on my own in the past i used to use ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f /boot/config/ssh/tower_root or now ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f /root/.ssh/tower_root but this is bad you can no longer use words other then the default /root/.ssh/id_rsa as you see the problems i having so i mentioned i followed it step by step what you see is what i did https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-server-backups-with-luckybackup you first install the program you choose Console on Luckyback i ran the keygen and i changed the name from id_rsa as i want tower as the name for the keys then you see i copied to the 192.168.1.9 then i exited restarted the Luckybackup i then did what it said set up the directories.. then save and then go back into it to modify it and i add the remote private key as you see and then i excute it i dunno what else all i do ahead of time is rm -r /root/.ssh to start from scratch but everything you see is from the step by step article and i not sure what a su $USER does and not sure how to copy those default keys as i cant have 5 LuckyBackups having all id_rsa as the public and private key all 5 have to communicate with each other and having all withe the default key id_rsa isnt going to work reason i used to have tower_root.pub mitchflix_root.pub backupserver_root.pub raspberrypi_root.pub but these no longer work for a long time.. and seems only id_rsa is the only thing that will ever work plus u need to do chmod 700 /root/.ssh chmod 640 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys to get things to work outside of luckybackup reason i been getting frustrated i follow everything evne followed the guys video at the bottom of the blog and it just doesnt let me do it without a password u see all the errors i get i guess you have to write it cp /root/.ssh/tower_root /root/.ssh/id_rsa i guess thats the only way to get it to work? cuz each server needs its own name for public private key not all be id_rsa or do you have to generate the id_rsa file then rename both id_rsa id_rsa.pub to tower and tower.pub

sorry my dislexia i try my best to explain but for me it sounds fine... never said i didnt wanna use the lucky backup i just saying there is a glitch u cant click Ok and cancel cuz the icons are sitting over top it... u gotta click all around it to get it to work i using 2 Servers to start Tower = tower.pub <=== but you cant use tower.pub you cant use any word other the"id_rsa.pub" it absoultely not work Tower (192.168.0.3) is the Main Server Mitchflix (192.168.1.9) = First Backupserver is Server you backup too.. the private key is tower the public key is tower.pub i trying to test Lucky backup so i can transfer for testing /mnt/user/documents/bell folder to Mitchflix folder /mnt/user/dowonloads in the end i want server1.pub server2.pub server3.pub server4.pub server5.pub as all 5 plus a rasperry pi need to talk to each other ssh keys used to work 2 unraid versions ago but now seems it doesnt first i start # ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair.

i wasnt spaming your the one that asked "What have you done so far? What are you typing in, with no context I can't help... " so i was just telling you what i been doing as up to 5 min ago.. cuz i been sitting at this chair 8 hours straight trying to get it to work sorry

i given up for today.. i have wasted more the 8 hours just to get Main server to talk to first remote server with "mainserver.pub" not "id_rsa.pub" driven me nuts

think i given up today.. i spent more then 8 hours trying to get public keys to work other then id_rsa which i say there is a bug in it as it doesnt work

ive spent 8 hours constantly trying to get ssh keys to work with 0 luck with alternative to id_rsa

i think maybe there is a bug in the SSH key stuff if you generate using the default "id_rsa" that works but when you have 5 unraid severs you cant use 5 id_rsa file names overwritting things but when you change the name to say server1.. so you have server1 server1.pub and import it on the remote server.. that fails but if you ssh-keygen and get a id_rsa file and copy that id_rsa.pub to the remote server and import it.. then it will log in but it will not allow you to change the name and allow it to work

following this https://unraid.net/blog/unraid-server-backups-with-luckybackup failed 100% i guess right from the ssh-keygen guess unraid does not accept giving a name for the key without problems so non of the servers can have the "id_rsa.pub" as i want luckybackup setup on all 5 unraid servers all 5 have the pub keys of the other servers.. but it seems there is an issue that anything but "id_rsa" is used is a problem

sorry i followed the unraid Luckybackup blog step by step.. that failed.. always asks for password i also done i made a couple posts getting no where.. i tried other SSH-keygens.. it used to work couple unraid versions ago but no matter what i do.. if i use a different name then "ID_RSA" its 100% busted https://forums.unraid.net/topic/120487-has-ssh-keys-changed-i-cant-seem-to-get-it-to-work-anymore-access-site-a-to-b/ https://forums.unraid.net/topic/120488-site-to-site-ssh-key-gen-creator-and-setup/ i have 5 unraid servers i dont want to be using ID_RSA for all 5 i want Tower = tower.pub Backupserver = backupserver.pub problem is its not working .. if you do /root/.ssh/id_rsa that works but if i change things to /root/.ssh/tower then the whole setup is broken.. and i getting frustrated cuz nothing works other then id_rsa file name.. maybe 2 unraid versions ago i had no problem but now i cant use other then id_rsa i start over and try a different version i try a different youtube video nothing seems to work when you use an alternative word to id_rsa for the public and master key plus my 1 article you can see the Luckybackup glitchy screen displays too asking for a password when it shouldnt need one.. and then icons over top of ok cancel buttons

im having 0 luck getting luckybackup to work.. the pre-setup of the ssh-keys is not working no matter what you still gotta type in the Root user password on the remote computer.. driving me nuts..

so i tried to follow your link you sent only time it works is if you dont change "ID_RSA" you cant have it a new key file name if you specify Main_Server instead of id_RSA it fails every time.. as i want Pub Keys of each server so that website also not fool proof as i have 5 Unraid Servers and i want them all to talk together without passwords.. but i cant do ID_RSA for all of them reason i wanted like Mainserver.pub Backupserver1.pub Backupserver2.pub and so on. i did that chmod where it says you might have older ssh program but its not working root@Tower:~# ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 Generating public/private rsa key pair.

i keep recreating it deleting the .ssh folder and re run and follow the Luckybackup blog and the 1 step it forgets ... and and i looked under vpn section but in the end i still keep constantly having to enter the Root User Password on the 2nd server when its supposed to just copy over i tried to follow https://phoenixnap.com/kb/setup-passwordless-ssh but it only works if you dont ver off its steps.. if you want to rename the id_rsa to a different filename like Main_Server it then no longer works. wish there was a fool proof setup/script/ Plugin Or App just fill it in press Submit and boom bobs your uncle everything is done for you behind the scenes

and on my other server i have the keys there and i get the finger print error this is why i just looking for a Flawless way to create it for anyone that isnt an advanced user.. just simply fill in the fields just like Filling in Server name Field and Description Field.. and then you click Save and your done i will recreate the entire process and paste it... since im not being believed what i see

and reason for the request to do it flawless set it up and have 0 mistakes... for anyone that isnt an experienced user as you see i need a password even though the other computer has the Key you need the Root Password on the Remote Site for it to rsync as you see above

i trying to avoid errors like this in Lucky backup.... and the Yes/no/fingerprint

or do i need a SSH User? and not use root

well thats why i said i looking for flawless as you see in General support i have issue with Lucky Backup asking for a Password or a Yes/No/Fingerprint also Rysnc will not work here is copy from root@Tower:/mnt/user/Downloads# rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/Main_Server" /mnt/user/Documents/Bell/ [email protected]:/mnt/user/downloads/Bell/ Password: sending incremental file list created directory /mnt/user/downloads/Bell so you still need to add Root Password.... or am i doing something wrong? thopugh the SSH keys was to bypass Root password thats why i requesting a Fool Proof Key Generate and Copy to multiple servers flawless

oh and i did that passwordless setup in my General Post i showed my steps.. and the LuckyBackup Steps did not work. it still asks for a password or yes/no/fingerprint everytime you run rsync with the key file so thats why i posted a feature request... where it sets everything up without any mistakes.. all you have to do is fill in the fields and press Submit button and it does it all in the background so the only Password is on "Root" because damn Fix Common Issues says you need a Password.. but there is no Password on the SSH Key only on Root login thats the password its asking for Root not SSH Key

no password... I hit Enter 3 times only password i entered is Root Password of 192.168.1.9 because Fix Common issues keeps throwing me error Root has no password.. so i gave it a password my other 2 servers do not use passwords

i kinda mentioned before but be nice if Unraid had built in Option... as i have issues its not taking SSH Keys to Rsync.. still need a a password to rsync even though other site has the pub keys etc but it be nice in the Gui an option Main Server : <key Name> rsa 2048 1. Backupserver : 192.168.1.8 <password> 2. Backupserver : 192.168.1.9 <password> 3. Backupserver : 10.10.10.10 <password> 50..... <cancel> <Submit> and what then it do it would Create the Key Name then it would connect copy the keys to the approiate spot... it would give whatever permissions needed.. and tell ya if there is an error or if its constantly going to keep saying "password" or yes no fingerrprint when you rysnc or wanna just "ssh root@"192.168.1.9" and not need a password but like a 1 Click option be great and then you can do it on your backup servers same... just enter above and then it would copy all the info to 3 backup servers and it be in cremental to so if you had 50 unraids you just do it .. and it would copy to all 50 unraids so this way you cant makes a mistake by typo or not a right Chmod etc.. all behind the scene also another feature if it saved the info above it it could say 1. Backupserver : 192.168.1.8 <connected> 2. Backupserver : 192.168.1.9 <diconnected> 3. Backupserver : 10.10.10.10 <connected> 4. Backupserver : 10.10.10.40 <unable to esstablish connection> this would show which sites are connected with the SSH and which ones are offline or cant connect and it could try to connect to everyone at boot up

so i was re doing my servers... it used to work in past the SSH keys to rsync now it no longer works.. as i wanted to do that LuckyBackup Unraid had that tutorial on.. but everytime i do there steps.. it asks for Password// yes no Fingerprint... or Password.. so i decided to start all over and it from scratch with an Rysnc but even with the Key on the remote site ... rysnc will not work unless i type a password in so right now i have Site A (Main) 192.168.0.1 Site B (Backup) 192.168.1.9 < i have other servers but working on 1 at time> when i try to rysnc you can see the password i still need to enter in.. i just testing copying a file folder from my documents folder to a download folder on the backup root@Tower:/mnt/user/Downloads# rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /root/.ssh/Main_Server" /mnt/user/Documents/Bell/ [email protected]:/mnt/user/downloads/Bell/ Password: sending incremental file list created directory /mnt/user/downloads/Bell my steps were ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f /root/.ssh/Main_Server cp /root/.ssh/* /boot/config/ssh/ scp /root/.ssh/Main_Server.pub [email protected]:/root/. ssh [email protected] cd .ssh/ ; if [ ! -f authorized_keys ]; then touch authorized_keys; chmod 644 authorized_keys; fi chmod 600 Main_Server.pub ; cat Main_Server.pub >> authorized_keys i tried to follow some from there and the link he had for when using a VPN as i use Pfsense as the tunnel.. but i still need to add password.. what should be the proper steps? as i want Site A (Main_Server) 192.168.0.1 Site B (Back_Up1) 192.168.1.9 Site C (Back_Up2) 192.168.1.8 i want them all to be talk to each other ... but for some reason it no longer works.. always askes just a password.... or the yes no fingerprint answer.. so i not sure whats not saving . im sure i made a mistake i know i mentioned before but be nice an App in unraid Main Server... Backup Server Backup Server so the app would take the Main Server Pub Key and Generate and then copy it to the multiple Backup Servers then you would do it on your back up Servers... so it it would do all the behind the scenese stuff and make sure its link

didnt do anything for me.. the plugin it didnt change what i have as i got 3840x2160 if i ctrl + mouse wheel to change the font size to make it max fix but didnt help i guess plugin doesnt help cuz i have a bigger resolution then the 1920 so it auto already stretchs
