SSH users/Using VORTA from a client machine with unraid as remote share

Hi there,

 

My apologies if this has been answered many time. I tried some searches, but couldn't really find what I was looking for. 

 

I'm running vorta on different desktop clients (mostly mac) in my home. 

Want to add unraid as a remote backup repository. 

 

I'd like to have one ssh user with key authentication per client, with only read/write access to a subfolder so all backups are seperate.

 

Is there an easy way to do this from unraid? (create ssh user, give it acces to only certain folder/share, and accept key that we use in borg) 

 

Thanks for your time !

For now I have it working this way:

- installed borg with nerdtools plugin

- installed ssh plugin 

- created a user per machine (e.g. macbookpro13)

- create a share for this machine (could've used home folder come to think of it) 

- turn on ssh for this user, only giving access to before mentioned share)

- generate seperate borg ssh id on client

- ssh-copy-id with the borg ssh id 

- setup vorta

This works fine actually. But I do think it is a bit cumbersome, so wondering if there is indeed an easier way :)
