raspiBackup - How to backup your Raspberry
- Details
- Category: raspiBackup
- Hits: 65626
raspiBackup helps to create backups of a running Raspberry with no shutdown or manual intervention by using cron. Important services will be stopped just before starting the backup and are started again when the backup finished.
Any device which can be mounted on Linux can be used as backupspace (USB disk, USB stick, nfs, samba, sshfs, ...).
Standard Linux backup tools dd, tar and rsync using hardlinks if possible are used to create the backup.
Comment subscription not possible any more because of GDPR

Comment subscriptions are no longer possible because the subscription function of the Joomla comment plugin I use doesn't comply with GDPR.
I tried to find a Joomla comment plugin which supports double opt in but failed. If you know a Joomla comment plugin which supports double opt in please let me know 
Therefore you have to check for comment updates manuallý now 
.
If you have questions or problem reports for raspiBackup just create a github issue. That's my preference because that way I can track any questions and problem reports quite easy. You also can create a comment on Facebook. Both services will send you a comment update notification.
Sorry for the inconvenience. But that's a consequence of GDPR.

Protect Raspberry Pi against internet attacks and disable attacks into the local network with a firewall using iptables

- Category: Raspberry

The Raspberry Pi is a nice system which is used a lot of time to provide server services to be accessible from worldwide. That's Owncloud, a HTTP server, seafile or other services..
A VPN is the right way to access the server in a secure way. But if you want to give a lot of people access there is no way other than to allow access direct from the internet. Usually you use a DMZ for this but that's a feature a normal home router doesn't have. But now you should protect the Raspberry from internet access as far as you can and also protect your home network from access from the pi server when an intruder managed to get access to the pi. But note: If an the intruder managed to get root access then the iptables firewall can be turned off very quickly. So it's very important to get SW updates on a regular base.
Following article describes how to configure an iptables firewall to protect it from unauthorized access from the internet and to protect a local home network to be attacked from the server - just in case.
