# BorgServer - Docker image
Debian based container image, running openssh-daemon only accessable by user named "borg" using SSH-Publickey Auth & "borgbackup" as client. Backup-Repositoriees, client's SSH-Keys & SSHd's Hostkeys will be stored in persistent storage.
For every ssh-key added, a own borg-repository will be created.
**NOTE: I will assume that you know, what a ssh-key is and how to generate & use it. If not, you might want to start here: [Arch Wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_Keys)**
### Quick Example
Here is a quick example how to configure & run this image:
Create persistent directories
#### Create persistent sshkey storage
```
mkdir -p borg/sshkeys/clients borg/backup
$ mkdir -p borg/sshkeys/clients
```
Copy any client ssh publickey into container
Make sure that the permissions are right on the sshkey folder:
```
$ chown 1000:1000 borg/sshkeys
```
#### (Generate &) Copy every client's ssh publickey into persistent storage
*Remember*: Filename = Borg-repository name!
```
cp ~/.ssh/my_machine.pub borg/sshkeys/client/my_machine
$ cp ~/.ssh/my_machine.pub borg/sshkeys/clients/my_machine
```
The OpenSSH-Deamon will expose on port 22/tcp - so you will most likely want to redirect it to a different port. Like 2233 in this example:

nold360/borgserver:latest
```
## Borgserver Configuration
* Place Borg-Clients SSH-PublicKeys in persistent storage
* Place Borg-Clients SSH-PublicKeys in persistent storage
* Client Repositories will be named by the filename found in /sshkeys/clients/
### Environment Variables
#### BORG_SERVE_ARGS
Use this variable if you want to set special options for the "borg serve"-command, which is used internally.
See the the documentation for all available arguments: [borgbackup.readthedocs.io](https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.9/usage.html#borg-serve)
##### Example
```
docker run -e BORG_SERVE_ARGS="--append-only --debug" (...) nold360/borgserver
```
### Persistent Storages & Client Configuration
We will need two persistent storage directories for our borgserver to be usefull:
We will need two persistent storage directories for our borgserver to be usefull.
#### /sshkeys
#### /sshkeys
This directory has two subdirectories:
##### /sshkeys/clients/
Here we will put all SSH public keys from our borg clients, we want to backup. Every key must be it's own file, containing only one line, with the key. The name of the file will become the name of the borg repository, we need for our client to connect.
That means every client get's it's own repository. So you might want to use the hostname of the client as the name of the sshkey file.

```
F.e. /sshkeys/webserver.mydomain.com
F.e. /sshkeys/clients/webserver.mydomain.com
```
Than your client would have to initiat the borg repository like this:
```
webserver.mydomain.com ~$ borg init ssh://borg@borgserver-container/backup/webserver.mydomain.com
webserver.mydomain.com ~$ borg init ssh://borg@borgserver-container/backup/webserver.mydomain.com/my_first_repo
```
**!IMPORTANT!**: The container wouldn't start the SSH-Deamon until there is at least one ssh-keyfile in this directory!

#### /backup
In this directory will borg write all the client data to. It's best to start with an empty directory.
## Example Setup
### docker-compose.yml
Here is a quick example, how to run borgserver using docker-compose:
```
services:
borgserver:
image: nold360/borgserver
volumes:
- /backup:/backup
- ./sshkeys:/sshkeys
ports:
- "2222:22"
environment:
BORG_SERVE_ARGS: "--append-only"
```
### ~/.ssh/config
With this configuration (on your borg client) you can easily connect to your borgserver.
```
Host backup
Hostname my.docker.host
Port 2222
User borg
```
Now initiate a borg-repository like this:
```
$ borg init backup:my_first_borg_repo
```
And create your first backup!
```
$ borg create backup:my_first_borg_repo::documents-2017-11-01 /home/user/MyImportentDocs
```
