Show me again the updated permissions please

A repository already exists at /Malcolm@100.121.165.10
I think it's not reading the path properly, and there's a repo in the Malcom home folder (it does not matter because you want to use another path.

i tried to do it on command line... it did create the repro
-
-
Which command have you used to manually create the repo?
Edit: I didn't see it, you wrote it. It looks correct.
By the way it's only a test since the plugin must create it.
At this point I don't understand why the plugin is not working.
-
I Need to replicate in a VM. Give me some time.
It might be the plugin not reading the key file. It always errors out there.

I have been following this forum post as I too am having the same errors when trying to create the remote repo via the GUI.
I have setup and tested ssh from client to server from command line all working ok. No password prompts etc all good.
I too can create remote repo as per instructions and all works ok. from command line only NOT via GUI.
I followed the guide as above in setting this up....
The thing that puzzled me was this instruction
export BORG_RSH='ssh -i /etc/ssh/my_secure_server_key'
i did try export BORG_RSH='ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa'
this did not work either in the GUI
getting same errors as before
when I generated my key pairs it was placed in the users home folder in a sub folder .ssh with the default file names of
id_rsa <being private key>
id_rsa.pub <being public key>
I checked the /etc/ssh folder and there was no id_rsa or id_rsa.pub.
I did notice there were private and public keys from other systems placed there generated by OMV and plugins.
example
ssh_host_ecdsa_key
ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
etc..........
I then copied my id_rsa and id_rsa.pub to /etc/ssh folder
Renamed id_rsa to ssh_host_borg_key
and id_rsa.pub ssh_host_borg_key.pub
then chmod 600 on both these files so only the owner has access to these in my case borg user
export BORG_RSH='ssh -i /etc/ssh/ssh_host_borg_key'
re attempted to create again via GUI
ssh://borg@mountaineagle-technologies.com.au:7290/borg_volume/golfclub10
Getting same permission errors etc as before.
I then looked at the GUI and found a TAB that said 'environment variables '
nothing was listed
I then created the BORG_RSH variables in the GUI as below
note there is a drop down box on repo*
Repo creation
then will list any repo's you have created
select Repo creation
then save
Next create the remote repo
Select Repos the + to add
Click Save
Result
Now we can proceed to create Archive from GUI
But before we do we need to go back into environment variables TAB select BORG_RSH variable and change it from Repo creation to point to the repo you just created using the drop down box
If you do not change you will get authentication errors when you attempt to create archive as below
Point BORG_RSH to REPO as above eg golfclub_remote
Then select archive and execute with the right arrow
Success yes wallah !!!!!!!
So I think the environment variable BORG_RSH being set at the command line level isn't working somehow
as in instruction
export BORG_RSH='ssh -i /etc/ssh/my_secure_server_key'
I have being trying to nut this out for a long time. Reading guides and checking forums
Love the GUI to borg backup Thankyou to the writer
And now I can have a offsite repo's as well as local for security and redundancy
I don't know if the process I took is the correct way, but it all clicked together, tick, tick, tick
-
mountain-eagle thank you very much!
This means the plugin has been updated since I made the guide, which was fully tested at the time: there wasn't such option to create Borg ENV variables from the GUI.
I will update the guide accordingly.
-
Hey there, I updated the guide with the changes that were required.. Thanks for your feedback.
Heck I didn't realize I made it a long time ago and it was still featuring OMV5 UI!
-
-
Your guide is good and great to understand and was simple.
Since discovering the borg variables and what they can do via GUI I have since changed the borg base to point to a HDD rather then the small SSD of the operating system the default locations of .config .data etc. But you need to have multiple instances of the same variable but pointing to different Repo's if you have multiple repo's running. Thank you for the quick response into resolving.

First auanasgheps thank you very much for the BorgBackup guide it is really useful.
I had the same problem as mountain-eagle, my remote Borg backup worked from the command line but not in the Plug-in GUI.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 system and I think things are a bit different. I believe that in a normal system the root password is set during the installation, but the Raspberry Pi root does not have a password and you can not log in as root. It appears that BorgBackup (plugin?) may first connect over ssh as root and then change to requested user.
What I did to fix it:
-you need to set a password for root but you can not login as root and you cannot "su" to root.
-I did a "sudo sh" to run a shell as root.
-I then used "passed" to set a pass word for root.
-The RSA key pair for root was generated during OMV install
-The key need to be shared with the remote system (this should work: ssh-copy-id remote_username@server_ip_address)
I am not sure if you need to setup a root password and share it on the local and remote system but I did it anyway.
After this the BorgBackup plug-in worked!
