Using Duplicati 2.x to backup to Google Drive

jerrac
I work at a college and I've been configuring a bunch of my non-cPanel servers to backup their data to Google Drive. I use Duplicati 2.x to do so. Has anyone who reads this used Duplicati on a Cloudlinux or cPanel server? I use Apache as a proxy so I can put LDAP auth in front of Duplicati's web ui. On cPanel, I was thinking a duplicati.conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d configured with a vhost listening on an odd port. That's basically what I've done on my other servers. Would /etc/apache2/conf.d/duplicati.conf stick around when upgrades are run? Duplicati requires Mono to be installed. Would adding the CentOS7 mono repos to CloudLinux cause any problems? Would they stick around as long as CloudLinux is on version 7.x? Thanks!

    Hi, I've not seen any discussion of the Duplicati software here on the cPanel Forums, but I'm happy to help answer your configuration questions.
    Would /etc/apache2/conf.d/duplicati.conf stick around when upgrades are run?

    I recommend using the Pre Main Include section in "WHM Home >> Service Configuration >> Apache Configuration >> Include Editor" instead of creating a new configuration file: Include Editor - Documentation - cPanel Documentation This will ensure the changes are preserved through rebuilds of the Apache configuration file and through updates.

    Apache is managed through ea4.ninja Thank you.

    Apparently I wasn't subscribed to this thread... The main point of Duplicati was to enable backups to Google Drive. I did some research and found that you added Google Drive as a target in 66. So I was able to get the server upgraded, and now I can skip setting up Duplicati. That said, Duplicati has an impressive breadth of options. I'd love to see someone turn it into an addon that would let users manage their own backups and restores through it. Oh, and it does not need Mod_Mono. It just needs mono to be installed on the server. The best way I found for that was to add the mono project's yum repositories to the server. So that's what I was asking about.
