Hi,
First, sorry for the question on the last version OMV. I’m hoping this is an easy answer.
I want to be able to synch files with a partner far away. I’d like to expose an rsync connection from OMV to the outside world via SSH with SSH Key Authentication.
Of course, I need to forward the correct port from my router to my OMV. But, I don’t want to expose the ssh login to the outside world.
And here is where I get stuck. Is there a simple way to set this up so that my partner can sync with certain modules (shares) on the OMV on my network, using key authentication without exposing SSH login as well?
I hope this question makes sense. I searched this forum and I think I don't understand enough about rsync and ssh to understand the other similar questions.
For what it’s worth, I have configured SFTP from the omv-extras to do exactly what I want (router is forwarded to port xxxxx, the sftp service is listening/responding on that port, we can authenticate with the ssh public key, and use the shares that I’ve granted access, and ssh login from outside my lan is not permitted). Now I’d like to do the same type of thing with rsynch instead of sftp.
Is this possible and easy with OMV4?
Thanks,
Steve
