Adventures in #OpenBSD episode 0x819fa:
"I want my own secure cloud storage."
EASY.
- Get a Hetzner storage box and set up an
rclone
mount withsftp
andcrypt
enabled on it on the Macbook - Try to mount the same thing on OpenBSD only to realise after a lot of digging that the
mount
option is missing forrclone
on fishlinux because of underlying FUSE implementation incompatibilites; THEREFORE do the logical thing and - Ask
@gyptazy really nicely for a
@BoxyBSD VM running FreeBSD
- Figure out how to connect to it from home internet that doesn't have IPV6 (the answer is, jump host from
@OpenBSDAmsOpenBSD Amsterdam for initial setup of
tailscale
, then once BoxyBSD VM is in the Tailnet, canssh / mosh
in from home) - set up stuff on FreeBSD like
doas
and whatnot - Finally get to a point where I can install
rclone
- Copy over config from MacOS using
tailscale file cp
(tailscale)
- Scratch head over file permissions as usual
- Screw up some file system stuff as usual
- Finally mount the encrypted Hetzner box over rclone on the FreeBSD vm
- Mount the blasted thing over
sshfs
using@soleneSolène
's tutorials on the home box
NOTHING COULD BE SIMPLER.
