I’m trying to work out how to install Duplicacy on a Ubuntu server - I’m pretty fresh to Linux. I’ve followed a couple of guides online, but can’t figure out how to make the Web GUI accessible
Is there a ‘noob friendly’ version of getting Duplicacy installed on a headless system via CLI and then accessible to other machines on the same internal network?
Ok, ended up working it out by using a combination of google to work out how to actually launch the application and then SSL to port bind and allow me to change the port to be accessible.
Now, I’m trying to test out Duplicacy to back up docker volumes for my docker apps. These are stored in/var/lib/docker/volumes
When running a program like Duplicati, I was able to access this folder, presumably because it installed as root. I don’t have an issue running Duplicacy as root, as its not ‘mission critical’ data and this is just a secondary backup.
What can I do to allow Duplicacy to backup the /var/lib/docker/volumes?
Simply run duplicacy from an elevated command like sudo ./duplicacy-web
Also I know you already figured it out, but I recommend caddy for reverse proxy. It’s very simple and it auto-renewing and signing SSL certs is super nice.
Thanks! Got that sorted - Now how do I get it to auto-start on boot? I have to currently run that command whenever I reboot the server
edit - Nevermind, I figured it. I need to trust myself more. Now to test! Thanks
Last time I set up a schedule it automatically installed a systemd service. If you’re having trouble though follow this: Use systemd to Start a Linux Service at Boot | Linode
Best of luck
