I noticed this minor grammar mistake when running update.nix, and then
while grepping to find the source I noticed we had it a few times in
Nixpkgs. Just as easy to fix treewide as it was to fix the one
occurrence I noticed.
This option allows basic configuration of the compression technique
used in the backup script. Specifically it adds `none` and `zstd` as
new alternatives, keeping `gzip` as the default.
When sending or receiving datasets with the old implementation it
wouldn't matter which dataset we were sending or receiving, we would
always delegate permissions to the entire pool.
Previously, a failed backup would always overwrite ${db}.sql.gz,
because the bash `>` redirect truncates the file; even if the
backup was going to fail.
On the next run, the ${db}.prev.sql.gz backup would be
overwritten by the bad ${db}.sql.gz.
Now, if the backup fails, the ${db}.in-progress.sql.gz is in an
unknown state, but ${db}.sql.gz will not be written.
On the next run, ${db}.prev.sql.gz (our only good backup) will
not be overwritten because ${db}.sql.gz does not exist.
Or … none! Because forcing a string always results in an OnCalender=
setting, but an empty string leads to an empty value.

I require the postgresqlBackup in my borgbackup unit, so I don't
strictly need the timer and could previously set it to an empty list.
Current module add backups forever, with no way to prune old ones.
Add an option to remove backups after n full backups or after some
amount of time.
Also run duplicity cleanup to clean unused files in case some previous
backup was improperly interrupted.
As the only consequence of isSystemUser is that if the uid is null then
it's allocated below 500, if a user has uid = something below 500 then
we don't require isSystemUser to be set.

By default, restic determines the location of the cache based on the XDG
base dir specification, which is `~/.cache/restic` when the environment
variable `$XDG_CACHE_HOME` isn't set.
As restic is executed as root by default, this resulted in the cache being
written to `/root/.cache/restic`, which is not quite right for a system
service and also meant, multiple backup services would use the same cache
directory - potentially causing issues with locking, data corruption,
etc.
The goal was to ensure, restic uses the correct cache location for a
system service - one cache per backup specification, using `/var/cache`
as the base directory for it.
systemd sets the environment variable `$CACHE_DIRECTORY` once
`CacheDirectory=` is defined, but restic doesn't change its behavior
based on the presence of this environment variable.
Instead, the specifier [1] `%C` can be used to point restic explicitly
towards the correct cache location using the `--cache-dir` argument.
Furthermore, the `CacheDirectoryMode=` was set to `0700`, as the default
of `0755` is far too open in this case, as the cache might contain
sensitive data.

After 733acfa140, syncoid would fail to
run if commonArgs did not include [ "--no-sync-snap" ], since it would
not have permissions to create or destroy snapshots.
The configured mbuffer path will be called on both the source and target
system. If you use pkgs.mbuffer from the source host and the target host
does not have this exact derivation, you will get a broken pipe when
sending snapshots. This is the case when transferring to a non-NixOS
system or to a host with a different mbuffer version.
Many options define their example to be a Nix value without using
literalExample. This sometimes gets rendered incorrectly in the manual,
causing confusion like in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25516
This fixes it by using literalExample for such options. The list of
option to fix was determined with this expression:
let
nixos = import ./nixos { configuration = {}; };
lib = import ./lib;
valid = d: {
# escapeNixIdentifier from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82461
set = lib.all (n: lib.strings.escapeNixIdentifier n == n) (lib.attrNames d) && lib.all (v: valid v) (lib.attrValues d);
list = lib.all (v: valid v) d;
}.${builtins.typeOf d} or true;
optionList = lib.optionAttrSetToDocList nixos.options;
in map (opt: {
file = lib.elemAt opt.declarations 0;
loc = lib.options.showOption opt.loc;
}) (lib.filter (opt: if opt ? example then ! valid opt.example else false) optionList)
which when evaluated will output all options that use a Nix identifier
that would need escaping as an attribute name.
* creating a local backup
* creating a borgbackup server
* backing up to a borgbackup server
* hints about the Vorta graphical desktop application
* Added documentation about Vorta desktop client
Tested the examples locally and with my borgbase.com account.
Currently to run borg job manually, you have to use systemctl:
```
$ systemctl start borgbackup-job-jobname.service
```
This commit makes wrappers around borg jobs available in $PATH, which have
BORG_REPO and connection args set correctly:
```
$ borg-job-jobname list
$ borg-job-jobname mount ::jobname-archive-2019-12-25T00:01:29 /mnt/some-path
$ borg-job-jobname create ::test /some/path
```

A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
When having backup jobs that persist to a removable device like an
external HDD, the directory shouldn't be created by an activation script
as this might confuse auto-mounting tools such as udiskie(8).
In this case the job will simply fail, with the former approach
udiskie ran into some issues as the path `/run/media/ma27/backup` was
already there and owned by root.
This adds a simple configuration for sending snapshots to a remote
system using zfs-replicate that ties into the autoSnapshot settings
already present in services.zfs.autoSnapshot.
