Solved Cloudron 7.0.1: Mountpoint for backup shows error (but works)

[necrevistonnezr]

Thanks for the update!

I use a filesystem backup (now: ‚mountpoint‘) with rsync:

When I configure backup and press save, it gives me an error „not mounted“:

The „remount“ button is weirdly named and does not seem to do anything ATM:

The backup works though!

[nebulon]

@necrevistonnezr given that the remount button lacks the translation, can you hard refresh your dashboard?

[necrevistonnezr]

@nebulon Did a hard refresh after clearing cache, the button is now correctly named - but still doesn't seem to do much (there's a spinning movement, the red dot before the path remains unchanged, though).
If I "Configure" and "Save", I still get the same error message as mentioned above.

[nebulon]

@necrevistonnezr can you manually remount this with systemctl restart mnt-cloudronbackup.mount and if that fails, check the journalctl logs.

[necrevistonnezr]

@nebulon I enter this where?
If I enter it after ssh-ing into my server, I get a Failed to restart mnt-cloudronbackup.mount: Unit mnt-cloudronbackup.mount not found.

[nebulon]

@necrevistonnezr ah true, your setting is specifying the mountpoint. I have to check this remount feature again for this use-case where the mountpoint is not managed by the Cloudron directly.

[necrevistonnezr]

@nebulon Ah, I get it, this setting assumes I have configured a backup mountpoint in Volumes, correct?
So I can configure a Volume named "Backup" in "Volumes" and then point the Backup just to "Backup"?

[nebulon]

@necrevistonnezr the mountpoint backend here is not related to Volumes as such. As you rightly mentioned, it assumes a mountpoint, managed by the admin itself. In your case you have to mount /media/SG2TB/CloudronBackup manually, and manage it via /etc/fstab or such, if I get your use-case right.

@necrevistonnezr What is the output of mountpoint -- /media/SG2TB/CloudronBackup on the server ?

[necrevistonnezr]

@girish /media/SG2TB/CloudronBackup is not a Mount point
Mind you that CloudronBackup is just a folder on my 2nd harddrive which is mounted as /media/SG2TB

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr Make /media/SG2TB the mountpoint and CloudronBackup be the prefix. That should make it all work.

@girish said in Cloudron 7.0.1: Mountpoint for backup shows error (but works):

@necrevistonnezr Make /media/SG2TB the mountpoint and CloudronBackup be the prefix. That should make it all work.

CloudronBackup or CloudronBackup/? I still would like them in a subfolder

[girish]

@necrevistonnezr yes, the prefix means subfolder in the context of filesystem and mountpoint . So, CloudronBackup should work.

[necrevistonnezr]

@girish Excellent, as always. Works!
