comet424 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited February 25, 2022 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 ive spent 8 hours constantly trying to get ssh keys to work with 0 luck with alternative to id_rsa Quote Link to comment
