The following will guide you through the prerequisite configuration to backup to a Linux machine or an external drive that is attached to a Linux machine.
|
|
|
|
.. tabs::
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
#. Open the file manager
|
|
|
|
#. Right-click the folder that you want to backup to (or create a new one) and click ``Local Network Share`` from the menu.
|
|
|
|
#. In the resulting window, select the check box for ``Share this folder`` and then check the box for ``Allow others to create and delete files in this folder``.
|
|
|
|
#. Create a description in the ``Comment`` section - remember this, you will need it later
|
|
|
|
#. Click ``Create Share``
|
|
|
|
#. Click ``Add the permissions automatically``
|
|
|
|
#. That's it! Now you can make encrypted backups to your own, private "cloud" by using the :ref:`Backup flow<backups>` in the Embassy UI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. group-tab:: Other Linux
|
|
|
|
#. Install Samba if it is not already installed.
|
|
|
|
* ``sudo pacman -S samba`` For Arch
|
|
* ``sudo apt install samba`` For Debian
|
|
* ``sudo yum install samba`` For CentOS/Redhat
|
|
* ``sudo dnf install samba`` For Fedora
|
|
|
|
#. Create a directory to share or choose an existing one and make note of its location (path). For this example, it will be called ``test-backup`` and located at ``/home/embassy/test-backup``
|
|
|
|
#. Configure Samba, by adding the following to the end of the ``/etc/samba/smb.conf`` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
[testing]
|
|
path = /home/embassy/test-backup
|
|
create mask = 0666
|
|
directory mask = 0777
|
|
read only = no
|
|
guest ok = no
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
- ``[testing]`` is the *comment*, or title of the entry, and can be called anything you'd like
|
|
- the ``path`` should be the path to the directory you created earlier
|
|
- copy the remainder of the entry exactly as it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Add your user to Samba and "own" the directory if you do not already, then change the password
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
smbpassword -a YOUR-USER
|
|
smbpassword
|
|
|
|
After creating your password, you can return to your Embassy UI to complete setup and :ref:`Create the Backup <backup-create>`.
