# restic / vm-esh-nas

Second Docker host at the ESH home lab — a VM on `esh-pve-nas`. Covered
two ways:

- **VM image** via Proxmox vzdump on esh-pve-nas (5/5 covered).
- **File-level restic** (this config). Cross-site — writes to the
  Anaheim rest-server at `10.250.50.70:8000/vm-esh-nas/` since the ESH
  site has no local rest-server.

## What's backed up

| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `/opt/docker` | Compose files (~56 KB — tiny) |
| `/etc` | Host config |
| `/root` | Root's scripts, ssh keys, history |
| `/home` | User home dirs (`lkraven`, `nas`, `user`) |
| `/var/lib/docker/volumes` | beszel-agent, dozzle-agent, dockge state |

## What's critically excluded

**`/mnt/{share,music,books,media}`** — NFS mounts from `10.0.50.50`
holding ~400 TB of media/share content. Protected at the NAS layer,
not here. The exclude-patterns in profiles.yaml are a safety net — the
source list already doesn't include `/mnt/*` — but doubly-excluded so a
careless future edit can't nuke the repo by pulling in 100 TB.

Also excluded: docker internals, logs/pids, per-user browser and shell
caches.

## No pre-backup hook needed

Same as nh3-docker — no relational DBs on this host. SQLite in agent
volumes is WAL-mode + low-traffic; raw restic capture restores cleanly.

## Deploy (one-time setup)

### 1. Install restic (not present on this host)

```bash
ssh -t vm-esh-nas 'sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y restic'
# or use the upstream binary if a newer version is needed:
#   curl -sfL https://github.com/restic/restic/releases/latest/download/restic_*_linux_amd64.bz2 | ...
```

### 2. Add the client entry to the Anaheim rest-server `.htpasswd`

If not already present from an earlier pass:

```bash
# Single ssh invocation — the pipe must stay on the REMOTE side so
# sudo can prompt on the local keyboard. `ssh -t ... | ssh -t ...`
# breaks because sudo's password read conflicts with the pipe contents.
ssh -t ana-docker '
  docker run --rm httpd:2.4-alpine htpasswd -nbB vm-esh-nas "<PW>" \
    | sudo tee -a /mnt/backup/restic/repo/ana/.htpasswd >/dev/null
'
```

Heads-up: the password is in your shell history after this runs.
Scrub with `history -d <line>` or `history -c`.

### 3. Install restic creds on vm-esh-nas

```bash
ssh -t vm-esh-nas '
  sudo install -d -o root -g root -m 0700 /etc/restic /var/lib/restic
'

# REST URL — paste from password manager (Enter, Ctrl-D)
ssh -t vm-esh-nas 'sudo bash -c "cat > /etc/restic/restic.env && chmod 600 /etc/restic/restic.env"'
# paste: RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://vm-esh-nas:<HTPASSWD-PW>@10.250.50.70:8000/vm-esh-nas/

# Encryption passphrase — paste from password manager (Enter, Ctrl-D)
ssh -t vm-esh-nas 'sudo bash -c "cat > /etc/restic/password && chmod 600 /etc/restic/password"'
```

### 4. Init the repo

```bash
ssh -t vm-esh-nas '
  sudo bash -c "
    set -a; . /etc/restic/restic.env; set +a
    restic init
  "
'
# Type passphrase twice at the prompt — same one you just installed.
```

### 5. Verify

```bash
ssh -t vm-esh-nas '
  sudo bash -c "
    set -a; . /etc/restic/restic.env; set +a
    RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE=/etc/restic/password restic snapshots
  "
'
# expect: no snapshots found
```

### 6. Install resticprofile

```bash
ssh -t vm-esh-nas '
  curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile/master/install.sh \
    | sudo sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin &&
  /usr/local/bin/resticprofile version
'
```

### 7. Deploy the profile

```bash
scp configs/restic/vm-esh-nas/profiles.yaml vm-esh-nas:/tmp/profiles.yaml

ssh -t vm-esh-nas '
  sudo install -o root -g root -m 0644 /tmp/profiles.yaml /etc/restic/profiles.yaml &&
  rm /tmp/profiles.yaml &&
  sudo resticprofile --config /etc/restic/profiles.yaml show
'
```

### 8. Enable timers + first backup

```bash
ssh -t vm-esh-nas '
  sudo resticprofile --config /etc/restic/profiles.yaml schedule --all &&
  sudo resticprofile --config /etc/restic/profiles.yaml backup --verbose
'
```

Expected size: **small**, likely <500 MB. This host is light — a few
agent volumes + compose files + home dirs. If the first snapshot is
above 2 GB, check for anything unexpected in `/home` or
`/var/lib/docker/volumes` before accepting.

Memory ceiling worth watching: vm-esh-nas has only 3.8 GB RAM. The
`min-memory: 100` global in profiles.yaml already protects against OOM
during restic's packing phase, but monitor the first backup for any
sign of restic choking on large files.

## Restoring

```bash
ssh -t vm-esh-nas '
  sudo bash -c "
    set -a; . /etc/restic/restic.env; set +a
    RESTIC_PASSWORD_FILE=/etc/restic/password \
      restic restore --target /tmp/restore latest --path /opt/docker
  "
'
```

## Recreating the repo

Same pattern as ana-ml2 — see `configs/restic/ana-ml2/README.md`
"Recreating the repo" section. Repo path on ana-docker is
`/mnt/backup/restic/repo/ana/vm-esh-nas/`.
