Add the FUSE dependencies for our hosts backed up with borg, along with a small script to make mounting the backups easier. This is the best way to recover something quickly in what is sure to be a stressful situation. Documentation and testing is updated. Change-Id: I1f409b2df952281deedff2ff8f09e3132a2aff08
Configure a host to be backed up
This role setups a host to use borgp for backup to any
hosts in the borg-backup-server group.
A separate ssh key will be generated for root to connect to the backup server(s) and the host key for the backup servers will be accepted to the host.
The borg tool is installed and a cron job is setup to
run the backup periodically.
Note the borg-backup-server role must run after this to
create the user correctly on the backup server. This role sets a tuple
borg_user with the username and public key; the
borg-backup-server role uses this variable for each host in
the borg-backup group to initalise users.
Role Variables
The username to connect to the backup server. If this is left undefined, it will be automatically set to
borg-$(hostname)
