just another backup solution... We already have packages for borgbackup, duplicity, rdiff-backup, rsnapshot and some deduplication tools. And restic is on the way in #5557...
Anyway, it is not a huge task to create a kopia package, since the binaries for several archs are available for download and we do not have to cross compile it.
I successfully started a kopia server with ./kopia server start --ui --insecure --address=http://0.0.0.0:51515 --server-password={myserverpassword}
on a DS218 (aarch64 on DSM 6.2.4).
And I can log in to the server with the web ui as user kopia with the given server-password.
The connection from KopiaUI on a windows machine was not possible, as only secure connections (https with server certificate thumbprint) are allowed.
So such a package would require additional investigations:
/var/packages/kopia/var
for the cache (the package will run as sc-kopia user and must not use it's home folder for the cache - when running as root kopia stores log and other files in /root/.cache/kopia/
)@mdhowle we can create a kopia package, but are you willing to act as a maintainer for testing the usability and documenting the usage of such a package?
Hey @hgy59, I didn't expect anyone to respond so quickly.
