UrBackup is a free and open-source client/server backup system that can be used to backup files and directories on different operating systems. This tutorial explains how to install UrBackup on OpenBSD.
Before starting, make sure that you have the following:
Follow these steps to install UrBackup on OpenBSD:
UrBackup requires the following packages to be installed on your OpenBSD server:
pkg_add expat gnutls libcurl libuuid libxml2 sqlite3
Go to the UrBackup download page and download the latest version of the server for OpenBSD. At the time of writing, the latest version was urbackup-server-2.4.14.tar.gz.
Extract the downloaded package using the following command:
tar -xzvf urbackup-server-2.4.14.tar.gz
Change to the extracted directory and build the server using the following commands:
cd urbackup-server-2.4.14/
CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \
LDFLAGS="-I/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib" \
./configure --enable-headless --enable-server
After the configuration completes, run the following commands to build and install UrBackup:
make
sudo make install
Once the installation is complete, you can start the UrBackup server using the following command:
/usr/local/sbin/urbackupsrv run
You should now be able to access the UrBackup server from a web browser by going to http://<your-server-IP>:55414.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed UrBackup on OpenBSD. You can now configure and use UrBackup to backup your files and directories on your OpenBSD server.
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!
