Access to backups

Instructions to access your backups

Introduction

We can provide direct access to backups, so you can synchronize all your data (MySQL dump + uploaded files) as often as you want.

In order to configure this access, we need a few things from you first.

Configuration

The service will expose an ssh endpoint that will only allow you to use rsync to access it. For configuration, we need two thing:

  1. A public ssh key
  2. A public IP

Generating a key

We will use ed25519 type:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C backup_elabftw

Do NOT add a passphrase, because this key will be used in a recurrent task.

Replace the comment after -C flag by what you desire of course.

Getting the public IP

On the server that will operate the synchronization job, execute this command to reveal your public IP:

curl -4 ip.wtf

Send the key and ip to us at: .
