I'd like to have FreeNAS handle backups of a bunch of linux boxes. (Mostly Raspberry Pis that exist for their physical properties, e.g. being able to drive a USB/ModBus adapter in proximity to our boiler, which is nowhere near our rack.)
Is there a walkthrough somewhere I'm not finding for this? (I've read the rsync man page and the FN guide. They're not helpful for the whole solution.)
Where I'm stuck now is on user management on the FN side. Each server to be backed up should have it's own SSH keypair for its root user.
I can only paste one SSH public key into the root user on FN. I also really really really don't want to do anything to the FN root user.
I can make one FN user per server to be backed up. Even if I give it a home directory, if it's nologin, I can't paste a public key in.
Even then, I'd have to use the --fake-super option to rsync and the man page on FN says that xattr isn't supported on FreeBSD.
So, what to do?
