thexa4/backup_hubic — version 1.0.0 Oct 4th 2017

#Backup Hubic Configures (thexa4/backup)[https://forge.puppet.com/thexa4/backup] to backup to Hubic. Uses secrets_server to fetch credentials so you don't need to store hubic credentials on your vps.

##Setup You can set the following properties.

  • $client_id
  • $client_secret
  • $secret_host
  • $ca = '/etc/ssl/certs/host-ca.crt'
  • $cert = '/etc/ssl/certs/host.crt'
  • $key = '/etc/ssl/private/host.key'

You can get a client_id and client_secret by going to your Hubic account manager and registering an application with a redirect url of for example https://www.example.com/local. The redirect url can be changed in the share/hubic file. If everything works correctly no request should be made to the redirect url, the token should be intercepted before that.

You need a configured secrets_server with the hubic module. You can find this module in share/hubic. Please change the top four values before use.

##Usage This module will fetch an authentication token from the secrets_server. Please configure secrets_server to allow regeneration of hubic secrets by adding "hubic" to the allow_regen setting.

##Disaster recovery If you've lost your machine, follow the following instructions:

  1. Rebuild the machine using puppet
  2. Run duply default restore /root/backup to restore the previous backup to /root/backup
  3. Place everything where it belongs and remove the /root/backup folder when you're done to prevent it from recursively backing itself up.

If you're using this to back up the secrets_server, make sure you copy the gpg key in /etc/duply/default/gpg.<fqdn>.*.asc to a safe location like a password manager. You can then use the backup of the secrets server to get back the gpg keys of other hosts.
