Borg Backup to Hetzner Storage Box
For backup I use Borg. I followed the steps described in this community article:
We have two backups in the storage box:
/./borgbackup/photoprism/./borgbackup/nextcloud
Photoprism backup
This is what I did for Photoprism
The init script (which is only done once, be careful it will overwrite!):
# (As root)
export BORG_RSH='ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_ed25519'
export BORG_PASSPHRASE="<I GENERATED A PASSPHRASE>"
borg init --encryption=repokey ssh://u388089@u388089.your-storagebox.de:23/./borgbackup/photoprism
It outputs a key which I put in Bitwarden (you need it to decrypt the backup).
To make a manual backup:
export BORG_RSH='ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_ed25519'
export BORG_PASSPHRASE="<SEE BITWARDEN>"
borg create --stats ssh://u388089@u388089.your-storagebox.de:23/./borgbackup/photoprism::2024_11_24 /home/photoprism/Import/ /home/photoprism/Pictures/
The above can be found in Bitwarden, look for "Hetzner Borg Backup Script for Photoprism"
I also created a bash script in /usr/local/bin/photoprism_backup.sh (as mentioned in the article).
You can find it here in this repo:
Nextcloud backup
Ok, this is confusing but Nextcloud uses Borgbackup internally. Go to the aio interface and you'll notice there are backups to:
/root/nextcloudbackup
So nextcloud keeps making backups to this directory. Not ideal (TODO: I gotta find a solution for this).
But I can rclone the data:
rclone sync -v /root/nextcloudbackup/ hetzner:/cloned_borgbackup/nextcloud
For this I also created a script and placed it in /usr/local/bin
Automatic backup
cp -v cloud_backup.service /etc/systemd/system/
cp -v cloud_backup.timer /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl enable cloud_backup.service
systemctl enable cloud_backup.timer
