Abstract

This document describes server setup for the stoney cloud (Online) Backup service, built upon the Gentoo Linux distribution.

Overview

After working through this documentation, you will be able to set up and configure your own (Online) Backup service server.

Software Installation

Requirements

A working stoney cloud, installed according to stoney cloud: Single-Node Installation or stoney cloud: Multi-Node Installation.

Keywords & USE-Flags

For a minimal OpenLDAP directory installation:

echo "net-nds/openldap minimal sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "net-nds/openldap ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

NSS and PAM modules for lookups using LDAP:

echo "sys-auth/nss-pam-ldapd sasl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
echo "sys-auth/nss-pam-ldapd ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "sys-fs/quota ldap" >> /etc/portage/package.use

echo "=app-admin/jailkit-2.16 ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

For the prov-backup-rsnapshot daemon:

echo "dev-perl/Net-SMTPS ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "perl-core/Switch ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

To build puttygen only without X11:

echo "net-misc/putty ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "net-misc/putty -gtk" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Base Server Software Configuration

OpenSSH

OpenSSH Configuration

Configure the OpenSSH daemon:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Set following options:

PubkeyAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
UsePAM yes
Subsystem     sftp   internal-sftp

Make sure, that Subsystem sftp internal-sftp is the last line in the configuration file.

We want to reduce the numbers of chroot environments in one folder. As the ChrootDirectory configuration option only allows %h (home directory of the user) and %u (username of the user), we need to create the necessary matching rules in the form of:

Match User *000
  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/000/%u
  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/000/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys
Match
Match User *001
  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/001/%u
  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/001/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys
Match
...
Match User *999
  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/999/%u
  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/999/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys
Match

The creation of the matching rules is done by executing the following bash commands:

FILE=/etc/ssh/sshd_config;
 
for x in {0..999} ; do \
  printf "Match User *%03d\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \
  printf "  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/%03d/%%u\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \
  printf "  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/%03d/%%u/%%h/.ssh/authorized_keys\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \
  printf "Match\n" >> ${FILE}; \
done

Don't forget to restart the OpenSSH daemon:

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

OpenSSH Host Keys

If you migrate from a existing backup server, you might want to copy the ssh host keys to the new server. If you do so clients want see a difference between the two hosts as the fingerprint remains the same. Copy the following files from the existing host to the new:

/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub

Set the correct permissions on the new host:

chmod 600 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
chmod 644 /etc/ssh/*.pub

And restart the ssh daemon. Caution: do not close your existing ssh session as long as you are not sure the ssh daemon has restarted properly and you can login again.

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

OpenLDAP

/etc/hosts

Update the /etc/hosts with the LDAP server:

/etc/hosts

# VIP of the LDAP Server
31.216.40.4      ldapm.stoney-cloud.org

Root CA Certificate Installation

Install the root CA certificate into the OpenSSL default certificate storage directory:

fqdn="cloud.stoney-cloud.org"    # The fully qualified domain name of the server containing the root certificate.

cd /etc/ssl/certs/
wget --no-check-certificate https://${fqdn}/ca/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem
chown root:root /etc/ssl/certs/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem
chmod 444 /etc/ssl/certs/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem

Rebuild the CA hashes

c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs/

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf

Update the /etc/openldap/ldap.confLDAP configuration file/environment variables:

/etc/openldap/ldap.conf

# Used to specify a size limit to use when performing searches. The number should be an
# non-negative integer. SIZELIMIT of zero (0) specifies unlimited search size.
SIZELIMIT 20000

# Used to specify a time limit to use when performing searches. The number should be an
# non-negative integer. TIMELIMIT of zero (0) specifies unlimited search time to be used.
TIMELIMIT 45

# Specify how aliases dereferencing is done. DEREF should be set to one of never, always, search,
# or find to specify that aliases are never dereferenced, always dereferenced, dereferenced when
# searching, or dereferenced only when locating the base object for the search. The default is to
# never dereference aliases.
DEREF never

# Specifies the URI(s) of an LDAP server(s) to which the LDAP library should connect. The URI
# scheme may be either ldapor ldaps which refer to LDAP over TCP and LDAP over SSL (TLS)
# respectively. Each server's name can be specified as a domain- style name or an IP address
# literal. Optionally, the server's name can followed by a ':' and the port number the LDAP
# server is listening on. If no port number is provided, the default port for the scheme is
# used (389 for ldap://, 636 for ldaps://). A space separated list of URIs may be provided.
URI ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org

# Used to specify the default base DN to use when performing ldap operations. The base must be
# specified as a Distinguished Name in LDAP format.
BASE dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org

# This is a local copy of the certificate of the certificate authority
# used to sign the server certificate for the LDAP server I am using
TLS_CACERT /etc/ssl/certs/FOSS-Cloud_CA.cert.pem

Check you configuration by doing a search:

ldapsearch -v -H "ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org" \
              -b "dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \
              -D "cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \
              -s one "(objectClass=*)" \
              -LLL -W

The result should look something like:

ldap_initialize( ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org:636/??base )
filter: (objectClass=*)
requesting: All userApplication attributes
dn: ou=administration,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: administration
...

Random Number Generator (haveged)

Tools like putty are dependent on random numbers to be able to create certificates.

haveged - Generate random numbers and feed linux random device

The haveged daemon doesn't need any special configuration, therefore you can start it from the command line interface:

/etc/init.d/haveged start

Check, if the start was successful:

ps auxf | grep haveged

root     18001  1.0  0.0   7420  3616 ?        Ss   08:48   0:00 /usr/sbin/haveged -r 0 -w 1024 -v 1

Add the haveged daemon to the default run level:

rc-update add haveged default

Quota

32-bit Project Identifier Support

We need to enable 32-bit project identifier support (PROJID32BIT feature) for our naming scheme (uid numbers larger than 65'536), which is already the default on the stepping stone virtual machines:

mkfs.xfs -i projid32bit=1 /dev/vg-local-01/var

Update /etc/fstab and Mount

Make sure, that you have user quota (uqota) and project quota (pquota) set as options on the chosen mount point in /etc/fstab. For example:

LABEL=LV-VAR            /var            xfs             noatime,discard,inode64,uquota,pquota  0 2

reboot

Check, if everything went ok:

df -h | grep var

/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var  1023G  220G  804G  22% /var

Verify

Some important options for xfs_quota:

-x: Enable expert mode.
-c: Pass arguments on the command line. Multiple arguments may be given.

Remount the file system /var and check, if /var has the desired values:

xfs_quota -x -c state /var

As you can see (items marked bold), we have achieved our goal:

User quota state on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var)
  Accounting: ON
  Enforcement: ON
  Inode: #131 (1 blocks, 1 extents)
Group quota state on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var)
  Accounting: OFF
  Enforcement: OFF
  Inode: #132 (1 blocks, 1 extents)
Project quota state on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var)
  Accounting: ON
  Enforcement: ON
  Inode: #132 (1 blocks, 1 extents)
Blocks grace time: [7 days 00:00:30]
Inodes grace time: [7 days 00:00:30]
Realtime Blocks grace time: [7 days 00:00:30]

User Quotas

Adding a User Quota

Set a quota of 1 Gigabyte for the user 4000187 (the values are in kilobytes, so 1048576 kilobyte are 1024 megabytes which corresponds to 1 gigabyte):

xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var

Or in bytes:

xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1073741824 4000187' /var

Read the quota information for the user 4000187:

xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var

/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                     0          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var

If the user has data in the project, that belongs to him, the result will change:

/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                512000          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var

Modifiying a User Quota

To modify a users quota, you just set a new quota (limit):

xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var

Read the quota information for the user 4000187:

xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var

/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                     0          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var

If the user has data in the project, that belongs to him, the result will change:

/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                512000          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var

Removing a User Quota

Removing a quota for a user:

xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=0 4000187' /var

The following command should give you an empty result:

xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var

Project (Directory) Quotas

Adding a Project (Directory) Quota

The XFS file system additionally allows you to set quotas on individual directory hierarchies in the file system that are known as managed trees. Each managed tree is uniquely identified by a project ID and an optional project name. We'll use the following values in the examples:

project_ID: The uid of the online backup account (4000187).
project_name: The uid of the online backup account (4000187). This could be a human readable name.
mountpoint: The mountpoint of the xfs-filesystem (/var). See the /etc/fstab entry from above.
directory: The directory of the project (187/4000187), starting from the mountpoint of the xfs-filesystem (/var).

Define a unique project ID for the directory hierarchy in the /etc/projects file (project_ID:mountpoint/directory):

echo "4000187:/var/backup/187/4000187/home/4000187" >> /etc/projects

Create an entry in the /etc/projid file that maps a project name to the project ID (project_name:project_ID):

echo "4000187:4000187" >> /etc/projid

Set Project:

xfs_quota -x -c 'project -s -p /var/backup/187/4000187/home/4000187 4000187' /var

Set Quota (limit) on Project:

xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var

Check your Quota (limit)

xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -p 4000187' /var

Check the Quota:

-v: increase verbosity in reporting (also dumps zero values).
-N: suppress the initial header.
-p: display project quota information.
-h: human readable format.

xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -p 4000187' /var

/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                     0          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var

If you copied data into the project, the output will look something like:

/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                512000          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var

To give you an overall view of the whole system:

xfs_quota -x -c report /var

Modifying a Project (Directory) Quota

To modify a project (directory) quota, you just set an new quota (limit) on the chosen project:

xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var

Check your quota (limit)

xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -p 4000187' /var

Removing a Project (Directory) Quota

Removing a quota from a project:

xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=0 4000187' /var

Chreck the results:

xfs_quota -x -c report /var

4000187             0          0       1024     00 [--------]

As you can see, the line with the Project ID 4000187 has disappeared:

4000187        512000          0    1048576     00 [--------]

Don't forget to remove the project from /etc/projects and /etc/projid:

sed -i -e '/4000187/d' /etc/projects
sed -i -e '/4000187/d' /etc/projid

Some important notes concerning XFS

The quotacheck command has no effect on XFS filesystems. The first time quota accounting is turned on (at mount time), XFS does an automatic quotacheck internally; afterwards, the quota system will always be completely consistent until quotas are manually turned off.
There is no need for quota file(s) in the root of the XFS filesystem.

prov-backup-rsnapshot

Install the prov-backup-rsnasphot daemon script using the package manager:

emerge -va sys-apps/sst-prov-backup-rsnapshot

Configuration

If it is the first provisioning module running on this server (very likely) you first have to configure the provisioning daemon (you can skip this step if you have already another provisioning module running on this server)

Provisioning global configuration

The global configuration for the provisioning daemon (which was installed with the first provisioning module and the sys-apps/sst-provisioning package) applies to all provisioning modules running on the server. This configuration therefore contains information about the provisioning daemon itself and no information at all about the specific modules.

+== OpenSSH ==
+=== OpenSSH Configuration ===
+Configure the OpenSSH daemon:
+<source lang="bash">
+vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
+</source>
+Set following options:
+<source lang="bash">
+PubkeyAuthentication yes
+PasswordAuthentication yes
+UsePAM yes
+Subsystem     sftp   internal-sftp
+</source>
+Make sure, that <code>Subsystem     sftp   internal-sftp</code> is the last line in the configuration file.
+We want to reduce the numbers of chroot environments in one folder. As the <code>ChrootDirectory</code> configuration option only allows <code>%h</code> (home directory of the user) and <code>%u</code> (username of the user), we need to create the necessary matching rules in the form of:
+<source lang="bash">
+Match User *000
+  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/000/%u
+  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/000/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys
+Match
+Match User *001
+  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/001/%u
+  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/001/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys
+Match
+...
+Match User *999
+  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/999/%u
+  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/999/%u/%h/.ssh/authorized_keys
+Match
+</source>
+The creation of the matching rules is done by executing the following bash commands:
+<source lang="bash">
+FILE=/etc/ssh/sshd_config;
+for x in {0..999} ; do \
+  printf "Match User *%03d\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \
+  printf "  ChrootDirectory /var/backup/%03d/%%u\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \
+  printf "  AuthorizedKeysFile /var/backup/%03d/%%u/%%h/.ssh/authorized_keys\n" $x >> ${FILE}; \
+  printf "Match\n" >> ${FILE}; \
+done
+</source>
+Don't forget to restart the OpenSSH daemon:
+<source lang="bash">
+/etc/init.d/sshd restart
+</source>
+=== OpenSSH Host Keys ===
+If you migrate from a existing backup server, you might want to copy the ssh host keys to the new server. If you do so clients want see a difference between the two hosts as the fingerprint remains the same. Copy the following files from the existing host to the new:
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub
+* /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
+Set the correct permissions on the new host:
+ chmod 600 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
+ chmod 644 /etc/ssh/*.pub
+And restart the ssh daemon. ''Caution'': do not close your existing ssh session as long as you are not sure the ssh daemon has restarted properly and you can login again.

+Make sure, that you have user quota (uqota) and project quota (pquota) set as options on the chosen mount point in /etc/fstab. For example:
+ LABEL=LV-VAR            /var            xfs             noatime,discard,inode64,uquota,pquota  0 2
+ reboot
+Check, if everything went ok:
+ df -h | grep var
+ /dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var  1023G  220G  804G  22% /var
+=== Verify ===
+Some important options for xfs_quota:
+* -x: Enable expert mode.
+* -c: Pass arguments on the command line. Multiple arguments may be given.
+Remount the file system /var and check, if /var has the desired values:
+ xfs_quota -x -c state /var
+As you can see (items marked bold), we have achieved our goal:
+ User quota state on /var (/dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var)
+   Accounting: '''ON'''
+   Enforcement: '''ON'''
+   Inode: #131 (1 blocks, 1 extents)

+=== User Quotas ===
+==== Adding a User Quota ====
+Set a quota of 1 Gigabyte for the user 4000187 (the values are in kilobytes, so 1048576 kilobyte are 1024 megabytes which corresponds to 1 gigabyte):
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var
+Or in bytes:
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1073741824 4000187' /var
+Read the quota information for the user 4000187:
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var
+ /dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                     0          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var
+If the user has data in the project, that belongs to him, the result will change:
+ /dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                512000          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var
+==== Modifiying a User Quota ====
+To modify a users quota, you just set a new quota (limit):
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var
+Read the quota information for the user 4000187:
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var
+ /dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                     0          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var
+If the user has data in the project, that belongs to him, the result will change:
+ /dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                512000          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var
+==== Removing a User Quota ====
+Removing a quota for a user:
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=0 4000187' /var
+The following command should give you an empty result:
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -u 4000187' /var
+=== Project (Directory) Quotas ===
+==== Adding a Project (Directory) Quota ====
+The XFS file system additionally allows you to set quotas on individual directory hierarchies in the file system that are known as managed trees. Each managed tree is uniquely identified by a project ID and an optional project name. We'll use the following values in the examples:
+* project_ID: The uid of the online backup account (4000187).
+* project_name: The uid of the online backup account (4000187). This could be a human readable name.
+* mountpoint: The mountpoint of the xfs-filesystem (/var). See the <code>/etc/fstab</code> entry from above.
+* directory: The directory of the project (187/4000187), starting from the mountpoint of the xfs-filesystem (/var).
+Define a unique project ID for the directory hierarchy in the <code>/etc/projects</code> file (project_ID:mountpoint/directory):
+ echo "4000187:/var/backup/187/4000187/home/4000187" >> /etc/projects
+Create an entry in the <code>/etc/projid</code> file that maps a project name to the project ID (project_name:project_ID):
+ echo "4000187:4000187" >> /etc/projid
+Set Project:
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'project -s -p /var/backup/187/4000187/home/4000187 4000187' /var
+Set Quota (limit) on Project:
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'limit -p bhard=1048576k 4000187' /var
+Check your Quota (limit)
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -p 4000187' /var
+Check the Quota:
+* <code>-v</code>: increase verbosity in reporting (also dumps zero values).
+* <code>-N</code>: suppress the initial header.
+* <code>-p</code>: display project quota information.
+* <code>-h</code>: human readable format.
+ xfs_quota -x -c 'quota -v -N -p 4000187' /var
+ /dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                     0          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var
+If you copied data into the project, the output will look something like:
+ /dev/mapper/vg--local--01-var                512000          0    1048576   00 [--------] /var
+To give you an overall view of the whole system:
+ xfs_quota -x -c report /var

+ sed -i -e '/4000187/d' /etc/projects

+=== Some important notes concerning XFS ===
+# The '''quotacheck''' command has no effect on XFS filesystems. The first time quota accounting is turned on (at mount time), XFS does an automatic quotacheck internally; afterwards, the quota system will always be completely consistent until quotas are manually turned off.
+# There is '''no need for quota file(s)''' in the root of the XFS filesystem.
 == prov-backup-rsnapshot ==
+Install the [[stoney_backup:_prov-backup-rsnapshot | prov-backup-rsnasphot ]] daemon script using the package manager:
 <pre>
-cd /var/work
+emerge -va sys-apps/sst-prov-backup-rsnapshot

 === Configuration ===
-The configuration file is currently located in the /var/work/prov-backup-rsnapshot directory:
+If it is the first provisioning module running on this server (very likely) you first have to configure the provisioning daemon (you can skip this step if you have already another provisioning module running on this server)
- vi /var/work/prov-backup-rsnapshot/etc/Provisioning/Backup/Rsnapshot_test.conf
+==== Provisioning global configuration ====
+The global configuration for the provisioning daemon (which was installed with the first provisioning module and the <code>sys-apps/sst-provisioning</code> package) applies to all provisioning modules running on the server. This configuration therefore contains information about the provisioning daemon itself and no information at all about the specific modules.
