UrBackup is an open source client/server backup system that allows you to backup and restore files, folders, partitions, and disk images. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of UrBackup on Fedora Server.
In order to install UrBackup on Fedora Server, you need to have the following pre-requisites installed:
Before installing UrBackup, update your Fedora Server by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
This command will update your system with the latest packages and security patches.
UrBackup requires some dependencies to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install curl lsb
This command will install curl and lsb packages on your system.
Download the latest version of UrBackup server package for Fedora from the official website of UrBackup. You can use the following command to download the package:
curl -Lo urbackup-server.rpm 'https://hndl.urbackup.org/Server/latest/urbackup-server-2.4.13.0-fedora-34-x86_64.rpm'
Note that the above command will download the UrBackup server package version 2.4.13.0 for Fedora version 34 (64-bit). If you have a different version of Fedora, replace the link with the appropriate link for your version.
After downloading the UrBackup server package, install it on your system by running the following command:
sudo dnf install urbackup-server.rpm
This command will install the UrBackup server package and its dependencies on your system.
Once the installation is complete, configure the UrBackup server by editing the configuration file. Run the following command to open the configuration file in nano editor:
sudo nano /etc/urbackup/urbackup-server.conf
In the configuration file, set the SERVER_HOSTNAME to the hostname or IP address of your server. You can also change other settings such as the backup path and port number. Save and exit the file by pressing Ctrl+X, Y, and Enter.
After configuring the UrBackup server, start the UrBackup service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start urbackupsrv
You can check the status of the service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status urbackupsrv
If the service is running successfully, you should see the active (running) status.
The UrBackup web interface can be accessed through your web browser at http://localhost:55414. If you want to access it from another computer, replace localhost with the hostname or IP address of your server.
You will be prompted to create an administrator account and password. After creating the account, you can start using UrBackup to back up and restore your files.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured UrBackup server on your Fedora system. You can now use it to backup and restore your files.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
