Rsync to virtual host?

I think we need to open a github issue :stuck_out_tongue:

I tested it using

api-cli run update-module --data '{"module_url":"ghcr.io/nethserver/webserver:sdl-chown-sftpgo-user","instances":["webserver1"],"force":true}'

and it works as expected. On new vhosts

  • Joomla installation is working
  • Rsync over SSH is working

It’s a nice side effect. The owner bin:root also works for rsync over SSH.

See also Rsync to virtual host? - #14 by mrmarkuz

EDIT:

Oops, one still needs to adapt the systemd service to make rsync work as explained here: Rsync to virtual host? - #3 by mrmarkuz

I tested it and it works as expected:

  • cron is started
  • root crontab is available at ./crontabs
  • a test cronjob is working

Nice, asking myself does rsync is installed inside sftpgo, maybe we should rebuild over the container and add rsync, wget or any tools we need

rsync is a file transfer program capable of efficient remote update
via a fast differencing algorithm.

Usage: rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST:DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST::DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST
  or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC [DEST]
  or   rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]
  or   rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC [DEST]
The ':' usages connect via remote shell, while '::' & 'rsync://' usages connect
to an rsync daemon, and require SRC or DEST to start with a module name.
