SSH Port for Borg Backup

gitayam commented 6 days ago

For different reasons SSH ports are not always on 22 , being able to configure borg to backup to a server with a custom ssh port is helpful and expands accessibility.

Solution would include: Adding documentation to have a user log into the matrix server to manually configure the ssh config

nano ~/.ssh/config

#Add in the the ssh port and ip
Host backup-server
    HostName ip.ip.ip.ip
    Port ###
    User root

and or the solution of allowing the ssh port to be configured in the ansible var yml

backup_borg_ssh_port: ###
backup_borg_location_repositories:
 - ssh://backup-server/Backups/Matrix/Path/

This is the documentation for configuring borg which would need to be updated https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/1666d1a1ff760fa371d43c83c0eace0af6531e7a/docs/configuring-playbook-backup-borg.md?plain=1#L42

You may find useful checking role vars: https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-backup_borg/blob/main/defaults/main.yml#L95

It would be great if you could send PR with docs updates :wink:

Setting a custom SSH port in vars.yml is already possible like this:

backup_borg_location_repositories:
  - ssh://USER@HOST:PORT/path/to/repo
