How to setup Hetzner Storage Box using SSHFS
-
Update:
This is really a huge improvement, I manually updated the last Cloudron to 8.0.3 and then 8.0.4. Reconfigured backups to Storagebox/rsync/sshfs.Diskusage is 260GB of which Nextcloud is 175GB and email 27GB altogether 25 apps:
- Previous cifs/tgz backup took approximately 3 hours
- First backup with sshfs/rsync took 1 hour and 40 minutes!
- Second backup right after the first took 4 MINUTES!!
It’s a miracle and hard to believe it’s true after years of waiting for faster backups.

I just tried to do this too but I get:
Failed to mount (inactive): read: Connection reset by peerI'm not sure what I'm missing
People who are backing up to a Hetzner Storage Box using SSHFS - how did you get it set-up? Thanks!
@avatar1024: you've mentioned previously that you've had issues restoring from SSHFS - is that still the case?
I'm looking to switch because my cifs/tgz backup that used to take approximately 2-3 hours seems to now regularly takes 4-6 hours (no idea why!)

I use it on 3 Cloudrons, didn't tested a restore.
- The url provided by @Joseph (https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/storage-box/backup-space-ssh-keys) is what I used to create keys.
- Be sure to use the "main" storage (no sub according to @nebulon this works best).
- In Configure Backup Storage make sure 'remote directory' is
/home - Port: 23
- Use hard links
- Use Rsync
Enjoy the speed!

Thanks both, will give it another go at some point...

I've had no more issue restoring using sshfs. I had issues (getting the same error message as you) when using specific ssh key pairs. rsa keys have been more reliable than Ed25519 keys, and do not protect your key with a password. Then it should work like a charm. See my post here: https://forum.cloudron.io/post/86213
