rsync task over ssh - webgui config

[pedro_sotta]

I'm trying to setup a automatic task to backup files from my windows laptop. After a long time spent configuring everything, now i have a script running ok in the nas4free shell, but when i try to schedule it on webgui i obtain a lot of errors.
My working script is:
rsync -avs -e "ssh -i id_rsa" user@192.168.1.200:/cygdrive/c/rsync_test /mnt/storage/rsync_test
Anyone already test this method in nas4free webgui? Where i can put this parameters on webgui?
In the freenas webgui there is a combo-box to choose between rsync module mode and rsync over ssh...

I found the GUI to be too painful, so I cronjobed a script instead...

rsync over ssh isn't supported by the webgui. I was told that it was a useless feature, and nobody actually uses rsync in this way. You and me must be the only ones in the world that want our rsync encrypted

Here is the patch I did to fix it, it adds a "No Daemon" option to the UI to allow you to use rsync over ssh. It's from a bit older version (9.2 sometime), so you may have to go in and manually make the changes.

Just in case someone else stumbles across this.

For the record, there are now three of us. And all of the people at my consulting firm. Why is it that everyone who puts rsync in a web GUI believes that it must be done badly?

[matejk]

Hi!

I'm also looking for a way to use rsync over ssh via webgui. Is there a noob proof solution or extension that would enable this functionality?

p.s. there are now at least four of us who would need this

pedro - run it this way and post the errors, if it's not too long post, the error posting is way more verbose!

Code: Select all

rsync -as -vv -e "ssh -i id_rsa" user@192.168.1.200:/cygdrive/c/rsync_test /mnt/storage/rsync_test

There is no reason you can't put the remote shell (ssh) in extra options box of the GUI
