ssh remote backup using public key authentication?

Post by infoball »

Hi,

I will soon be setting up my first Bubba (a B3), for a friend. I was wondering whether the remote backup function (that is, backing up the Bubba to a remote location) supports public key authentication - looking at the Bubba Two online manual it doesn't look like it does from the web interface but the B3 is perhaps a bit different?

Otherwise I can always set it up manually, but it would be more convenient if it is doable from the web interface.

Any advice is welcome, thanks in advance!

So, just to reply to myself: no, I can't seem to find any way to set up public key authentication with the web interface. In addition it doesn't even seem to be possible to use a non-standard ssh port...

However, since the backup uses duplicity it seems easy enough to adapt the script used so that public key authentication is used and the required non-standard port.

Btw, I am now very tempted to get a B3 for my own use... :-)
