Support request: app keys / paths and other info.

[utzer]

Hello, this is not an issue I think, but more a request for support, but some of this could be enhanced.

With yunohost app setting borg -h I get this output:

usage: yunohost app setting app key [-h] [-v VALUE] [-d]

Set or get an app setting value

positional arguments:
  app                   App ID
  key                   Key to get/set

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v VALUE, --value VALUE
                        Value to set
  -d, --delete          Delete the key

But it seems to be impossible to get a list of the keys.

I am currently wondering where borg gets the host information from, meaning which is the path of the SSH-config file it uses. I would like to check why the backup seems to work as per journalctl output, but the remote repo does not contain current backups.

part of ls from remote repo:

drwxr-xr-x  1 user user    0 Nov 17 23:10 auto_borg_17_11_20_23:09/
drwxr-xr-x  1 user user    0 Nov 18 00:00 auto_borg_18_11_20_00:00/
drwxr-xr-x  1 user user    0 Nov 19 00:00 auto_borg_19_11_20_00:00/
drwxr-xr-x  1 user user    0 Nov 20 00:00 auto_borg_20_11_20_00:00/
drwxr-xr-x  1 user user    0 Nov 21 00:00 auto_borg_21_11_20_00:00/

Part of the journalctl output:

This looks good, but no idea where the backup goes to.

It seems that at some point borg switched the repo path from hostname:/volume1/shared/backup/some_name to hostname:~/backup/some_name, to the later one it does not have permission to write a backup, but it still seems it does to so so.

No I would like to look at all the config keys of the borg app and don't know how to figure out which keys are available.

Added some more info above.

I am thinking about simply removing the app and adding it again and configuring it again. There is no helpful backup anyway it seems.

Edit: I figured out where the backup goes, but still would love to know how the see the apps config keys and find out the "home dir" of the borg client app.

Settings of apps are in /etc/yunohost/apps/*/settings.yml
