# backup-client
A containerized SSH backup server built on Alpine Linux, designed to provide secure remote backup access using SSH/SFTP protocols.
## Features
- 🔐 **Secure SSH Access**: Automated SSH server setup with configurable authentication
- 🐳 **Docker Ready**: Multi-architecture support (linux/amd64, linux/arm64)
- 📦 **BorgBackup Integration**: Built-in backup solution support
- ⚙️ **Dynamic Configuration**: Real-time SSH config monitoring and reloading
- 🔄 **CI/CD Pipeline**: Automated builds via Drone CI
## Quick Start
```bash
docker run -p 20022:20022 -v /backup/data:/home/backup safebox/backup-client
```
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|--------------|---------|-------------------------------|
| SSH_PORT | 20022 | SSH server listening port |
| SSH_USER | backup | Backup user name |
| SSH_PASSWORD | backup | User password for authentication |
## How it Works
The container automatically:
User Setup: Creates the backup user with configured credentials
SSH Configuration: Generates host keys (Ed25519) if not present
Server Start: Launches SSH daemon
## Key Components
Dockerfile: Alpine-based image with OpenSSH, su-exec, and BorgBackup
start_backup.sh: Main entrypoint script handling SSH setup
.drone.yml: CI/CD pipeline for multi-architecture builds
Security Features
Host Key Persistence: SSH host keys are generated once and persisted
Configurable Authentication: Supports both password and public key authentication
User Isolation: Runs SSH daemon as non-root user
## Development
Development builds: Push to registry.dev.format.hu/backup-client
Release builds: Tag events push to safebox/backup-client on DockerHub
Multi-architecture: Supports both AMD64 and ARM64 platforms
