| cynixx3 | I think I have an .htaccess issue. mod_rewrite is loaded but does not look like its phrasing the information in .htaccess | 07:13 |
| cynixx3 | Is there a way to test .htaccess | 07:14 |
| lordievader | Good morning. | 09:12 |
| ponyofdeath | hi, anyone here can help me with a problem when I am using inline shell config option in vagrant, I see my script behave differently then when running from within the vm | 17:31 |
| TJ- | ponyofdeath: probably a different set of environment variables, and shell options. | 18:02 |
| ponyofdeath | yeah trying to track this down | 18:04 |
| ponyofdeath | and am looking at the env vars but they seem the same | 18:04 |
| ponyofdeath | i dump env with the script | 18:04 |
| ponyofdeath | and when i actually do the login > scipt execution | 18:04 |
| ponyofdeath | seems that maby maven is having a problem when being called from inline vagrant call vs shell | 18:05 |
| jonah | hi does anyone know a simple and easy way to do a nightly backup of my ubuntu server to a NAS on my local network and have the backups compressed to save space? I've read about rsync, and bacula and all sorts but it all seems a lot of work? | 20:50 |
| cynixx3 | Rsync is not too bad | 20:52 |
| Sling | jonah: what would you want to back up? what scenarios are you thinking of? | 20:54 |
| jonah | cynixx3: so i set up rsync with a cron? but would i also need to tar all the files up, then rsync the tar? I thought there might just be a linux command tool i could use that would simply let you backup "/" as source and output it as a bzip or tar etc to the nas with incemental filenames but only ever keep two backups etc | 20:54 |
| cynixx3 | if your watching it I like rsync -a --progress /source/dir /destination/dir, then toss your command into cron (preferably by script.sh then cron) . automated backups done. | 20:54 |
| Sling | complete system restore or just specific locations | 20:54 |
| jonah | Sling: I just wanted to back the whole server, maybe a full backup each week and a nightly with incremental. i suppose i've been spoilt being used to cpanel and whm before which does this for you | 20:55 |
| jonah | Sling: I maybe wanted to just leave out some of the dirs that aren't really needed like tmp etc | 20:55 |
| cynixx3 | jonah, you probably want to isolate your configs and home directory for backup. Your entire server will not backup well like that. | 20:55 |
| jonah | Sling: i have a raid array set up for redundancy but it's not great without a backup going on too... | 20:55 |
| Sling | yeah raid is definitely not backup | 20:56 |
| Sling | delete a file, and your raid makes sure its deleted everywhere :) | 20:56 |
| jonah | cynixx3: well my thought was if my raid fails, i could rebuild it and just restore the whole thing rather than having to reinstall ubuntu etc and try copy home back and then restore configs and stuff | 20:56 |
| Sling | raid protects you against some hardware failures | 20:57 |
| jonah | Sling: yeah! | 20:57 |
| Sling | I'd backup your /etc /home /root and maybe some custom locations, so you can restore from a bare ubuntu setup | 20:57 |
| jonah | Sling: isn't there anything already designed to just do a weekly and nightly backup out there to make things easy? | 20:57 |
| Sling | maybe some additional information such as a dkpg -l | 20:57 |
| Sling | jonah: not terribly plenty if you don't want to pay | 20:57 |
| Sling | bacula is one of them | 20:57 |
| cynixx3 | jonah, making a backup system is really a good way to learn linux | 20:58 |
| jonah | Sling: i did look at bacula but didn't really get it. do you have to install bacula on the NAS too?? | 20:58 |
| Sling | jonah: bacula is not trivial to set up | 20:58 |
| Sling | its comprised of several daemons and mainly built around the concepts of backup tapes | 20:58 |
| jonah | cynixx3: I know and it's not that I lack a want to learn or dislike going to a lot of effort, but I just thought something simple and convenient might be out there. The less complex it is then hopefully the less likely I am to do it wrong! | 20:59 |
| Sling | i personally have a script that compresses certain filesystem locations (full once per week, incremental daily), encrypts it, and the throws it to some cloud service like mega.nz | 20:59 |
| Sling | built around a cli-wrapper for said cloud service | 21:00 |
| cynixx3 | I do something similar with local and remote system with just a bash script. | 21:00 |
| Sling | but if you want to back up more than a few gb you will probably not be able to do that for free | 21:00 |
| cynixx3 | Sling, while your here are you able to help with a mod_rewrite issue I am working on? | 21:01 |
| Sling | sure | 21:01 |
| cynixx3 | I need aaa/bbb/ccc/ to show that but be phrased as aaa/index.php?/bbb/ccc Right now all I get is /aaa/bbb/ccc http://pastebin.com/iiD8E9zG | 21:01 |
| cynixx3 | jonah, if you are up for it I will help you get the backup script working today. | 21:02 |
| Sling | cynixx3: why not use FallbackResource to make all requests to non-existing locations be sent to your index.php? | 21:02 |
| Sling | you can then use the original uri to route the request in your php script | 21:02 |
| jonah | cynixx3: ok cool lets try it. though my server potentially will hold over 1tb of data if that matters? | 21:03 |
| jonah | cynixx3: currently it is pretty new and empty though! | 21:03 |
| cynixx3 | Sling, I attempted that without luck. I am copying an old script from centos to ubuntu-server written by someone else and had it working on centos. I really rather not have to learn their code and fix it. | 21:03 |
| cynixx3 | brb baby cries. | 21:03 |
| jonah | cynixx3: basically it is on ip 192.168.0.100 and I have a nas using 192.160.0.2 - and my plan was to somehow just sftp or ssh the data over | 21:04 |
| jonah | cynixx3: bottle time? | 21:04 |
| bekks | jonah: And whats the issue with accessing your NAS? | 21:05 |
| jonah | bekks: just trying to backup my server each night with maybe a full backup each week to the nas, just not sure the best way or how! | 21:07 |
| bekks | !backup | jonah | 21:07 |
| ubottu | jonah: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:07 |
| cynixx3 | jonah, were those resources helpful to you? | 21:13 |
| jonah | cynixx3: yes but i think i've looked over some of that stuff already... | 21:14 |
| cynixx3 | okay, start by making a backup directory and a shell script to run your backups. | 21:15 |
| jonah | cynixx3: well i've already made a backup directory on the nas simply called backup | 21:15 |
| cynixx3 | okay, where are you storing the tars before transferring them to nas? | 21:18 |
| jonah | cynixx3: so do i have to tar the files before i can copy them to nas? as what happens when the server is say 3/4 full and then it has to try tar everything in the last 1/4? | 21:19 |
| cynixx3 | jonah, I am just going off of what you said. You said you wanted to copy and tar before transferring. IF the server is 3/4 full and you try to back it up then the backup will fail. | 21:20 |
| jonah | cynixx3: ah ok. no i only ask just because i wondered if there is a way to backup straight to a tar? | 21:21 |
| cynixx3 | It would depend on if and how the NAS is mounted. | 21:22 |
| bekks | jonah: did you read the links given yet? | 21:23 |
| jonah | cynixx3: ok so it can just be compressed straight over some how? | 21:24 |
| jonah | bekks: yes had a quick flick through but still unsure what the best way to go is | 21:24 |
| bekks | jonah: There are totally different methods of crating a backup. tar is just one of them. And not necessarily the best method for your use case. | 21:28 |
| JanC | there are about 50 rsync-based backup solutions :) | 21:30 |
| JanC | or maybe 500 | 21:30 |
| bekks | And about some twenty other backup solutions :) | 21:30 |
| jonah | ok thanks i'll go do more reading! | 21:32 |
| cynixx3 | bekks, I need help with a mod_rewrite rule if you know anything. I need aaa/bbb/ccc/ to show that but be phrased as aaa/index.php?/bbb/ccc Right now all I get is /aaa/bbb/ccc http://pastebin.com/iiD8E9zG | 21:32 |
| cynixx3 | If I try the fallbackresource then all I get is the homepage and can not do anything on the site. and I really dont want to recode this platform. | 21:32 |
| jak2000 | why: jak@swManzana:~/ftp$ ping 8.8.8.8 i get an answer PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. wich is bad? gateway? or? thanks | 22:43 |
| JanC | jak2000: you mean that line is the only thing you get, or? | 22:49 |
| jak2000 | forget paste: From 172.16.11.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Net Unreachable | 22:53 |
| JanC | that's a private network IP address? | 22:56 |
| JanC | you can try to ping the gateway | 22:58 |
| Seveas | the device on 172.16.11.1 doesn't have a route to 8.8.8.8. Try fixing that :) | 22:59 |
| jak2000 | JanC escuse, me yes i can ping to gw | 23:14 |
