- add archiver.main_mount()
- provide borgfs behaviour when the monolithic binary is called via a
symlink called borgfs
- docs: update usage of mount subcommand, provide examples for borgfs and
add symlink creation to standalone binary installation
- run build_usage
- add entry point in setup.py
- patch helpers.py:get_keys_dir() to allow mounting fstab entries with
"user" option set
Without this, setuid() called at some point by mount changes the HOME
environment variable to '/root' and os.expanduser('~') would return
'/root' as well, thus the mount would fail with
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/.config'
After setuid(), the HOME variable stays intact, so we still can
explicitly query USER's home.
Also, os.path.expanduser() behaves differently for '~' and '~someuser'
as parameters: when called with an explicit username, the possibly set
environment variable HOME is no longer respected. So we have to check if
it is set and only expand the user's home directory if HOME is unset.

Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
There are different ways to install |project_name|:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`distribution-package` - easy and fast if a package is
|
|
available from your distribution.
|
|
- :ref:`pyinstaller-binary` - easy and fast, we provide a ready-to-use binary file
|
|
that comes bundled with all dependencies.
|
|
- :ref:`source-install`, either:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`pip-installation` - installing a source package with pip needs
|
|
more installation steps and requires all dependencies with
|
|
development headers and a compiler.
|
|
- :ref:`git-installation` - for developers and power users who want to
|
|
have the latest code or use revision control (each release is
|
|
tagged).

Distribution Package
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Some distributions might offer a ready-to-use ``borgbackup``
|
|
package which can be installed with the package manager. As |project_name| is
|
|
still a young project, such a package might be not available for your system
|
|
yet.

Please ask package maintainers to build a package or, if you can package /
|
|
submit it yourself, please help us with that! See :issue:`105` on
|
|
github to followup on packaging efforts.
|
|
|
|
If a package is available, it might be interesting to check its version
|
|
and compare that to our latest release and review the :doc:`changes`.

.. _pyinstaller-binary:
|
|
|
|
Standalone Binary
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|project_name| binaries (generated with `pyinstaller`_) are available
|
|
on the releases_ page for the following platforms:
|
|
|
|
* **Linux**: glibc >= 2.13 (ok for most supported Linux releases). Maybe older
|
|
glibc versions also work, if they are compatible to 2.13.
|
|
* **Mac OS X**: 10.10 (does not work with older OS X releases)
|
|
* **FreeBSD**: 10.2 (unknown whether it works for older releases)
|
|
|
|
To install such a binary, just drop it into a directory in your ``PATH``,
|
|
make borg readable and executable for its users and then you can run ``borg``::
|
|
|
|
sudo cp borg-linux64 /usr/local/bin/borg
|
|
sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/borg
|
|
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/borg
|
|
|
|
Optionally you can create a symlink to have ``borgfs`` available, which is an
|
|
alias for ``borg mount``::
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/local/bin/borg /usr/local/bin/borgfs
|
|
|
|
Note that the binary uses /tmp to unpack |project_name| with all dependencies.
|
|
It will fail if /tmp has not enough free space or is mounted with the ``noexec`` option.
|
|
You can change the temporary directory by setting the ``TEMP`` environment variable before running |project_name|.
|
|
|
|
If a new version is released, you will have to manually download it and replace
|
|
the old version using the same steps as shown above.

Dependencies
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To install |project_name| from a source package (including pip), you have to install the
|
|
following dependencies first:
|
|
|
|
* `Python 3`_ >= 3.4.0, plus development headers. Even though Python 3 is not
|
|
the default Python version on most systems, it is usually available as an
|
|
optional install.
|
|
* OpenSSL_ >= 1.0.0, plus development headers.
|
|
* libacl_ (that pulls in libattr_ also), both plus development headers.
|
|
* liblz4_, plus development headers.
|
|
* some Python dependencies, pip will automatically install them for you
|
|
* optionally, the llfuse_ Python package is required if you wish to mount an
|
|
archive as a FUSE filesystem. See setup.py about the version requirements.
|
|
|
|
If you have troubles finding the right package names, have a look at the
|
|
distribution specific sections below and also at the Vagrantfile in our repo.
|
|
|
|
In the following, the steps needed to install the dependencies are listed for a
|
|
selection of platforms. If your distribution is not covered by these
|
|
instructions, try to use your package manager to install the dependencies. On
|
|
FreeBSD, you may need to get a recent enough OpenSSL version from FreeBSD
|
|
ports.
|
|
|
|
After you have installed the dependencies, you can proceed with steps outlined
|
|
under :ref:`pip-installation`.
|
|
|
|
Debian / Ubuntu
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies with development headers::
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip python-virtualenv \
|
|
libssl-dev openssl \
|
|
libacl1-dev libacl1 \
|
|
liblz4-dev liblz4-1 \
|
|
build-essential
|
|
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev fuse pkg-config # optional, for FUSE support
|
|
|
|
In case you get complaints about permission denied on ``/etc/fuse.conf``: on
|
|
Ubuntu this means your user is not in the ``fuse`` group. Add yourself to that
|
|
group, log out and log in again.
|
|
|
|
Fedora / Korora
|
|
+++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies with development headers::
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install python3 python3-devel python3-pip python3-virtualenv
|
|
sudo dnf install openssl-devel openssl
|
|
sudo dnf install libacl-devel libacl
|
|
sudo dnf install lz4-devel
|
|
sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++
|
|
sudo dnf install fuse-devel fuse pkgconfig # optional, for FUSE support
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
++++++++
|
|
|
|
Assuming you have installed homebrew_, the following steps will install all the
|
|
dependencies::
|
|
|
|
brew install python3 lz4 openssl
|
|
pip3 install virtualenv
|
|
|
|
For FUSE support to mount the backup archives, you need at least version 3.0 of
|
|
FUSE for OS X, which is available as a pre-release_.
|
|
|
|
.. _pre-release: https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases
|
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD
|
|
++++++++
|
|
Listed below are packages you will need to install |project_name|, its dependencies,
|
|
and commands to make fuse work for using the mount command.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
pkg install -y python3 openssl liblz4 fusefs-libs pkgconf
|
|
pkg install -y git
|
|
python3.4 -m ensurepip # to install pip for Python3
|
|
To use the mount command:
|
|
echo 'fuse_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
|
|
echo 'vfs.usermount=1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
|
|
kldload fuse
|
|
sysctl vfs.usermount=1
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cygwin
|
|
++++++
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Running under Cygwin is experimental and has only been tested with Cygwin
|
|
(x86-64) v2.1.0.
|
|
|
|
Use the Cygwin installer to install the dependencies::
|
|
|
|
python3 python3-setuptools
|
|
python3-cython # not needed for releases
|
|
binutils gcc-core
|
|
libopenssl openssl-devel
|
|
liblz4_1 liblz4-devel # from cygwinports.org
|
|
git make openssh
|
|
|
|
You can then install ``pip`` and ``virtualenv``::
|
|
|
|
easy_install-3.4 pip
|
|
pip install virtualenv
|
|
|
|
In case the creation of the virtual environment fails, try deleting this file::
|
|
|
|
/usr/lib/python3.4/__pycache__/platform.cpython-34.pyc
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _pip-installation:
|
|
|
|
Using pip
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Virtualenv_ can be used to build and install |project_name| without affecting
|
|
the system Python or requiring root access. Using a virtual environment is
|
|
optional, but recommended except for the most simple use cases.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If you install into a virtual environment, you need to **activate** it
|
|
first (``source borg-env/bin/activate``), before running ``borg``.
|
|
Alternatively, symlink ``borg-env/bin/borg`` into some directory that is in
|
|
your ``PATH`` so you can just run ``borg``.
|
|
|
|
This will use ``pip`` to install the latest release from PyPi::
|
|
|
|
virtualenv --python=python3 borg-env
|
|
source borg-env/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
# install Borg + Python dependencies into virtualenv
|
|
pip install borgbackup
|
|
# or alternatively (if you want FUSE support):
|
|
pip install borgbackup[fuse]
|
|
|
|
To upgrade |project_name| to a new version later, run the following after
|
|
activating your virtual environment::
|
|
|
|
pip install -U borgbackup # or ... borgbackup[fuse]
|
|
|
|
.. _git-installation:
|
|
|
|
Using git
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This uses latest, unreleased development code from git.
|
|
While we try not to break master, there are no guarantees on anything. ::
|
|
|
|
# get borg from github
|
|
git clone https://github.com/borgbackup/borg.git
|
|
|
|
virtualenv --python=python3 borg-env
|
|
source borg-env/bin/activate # always before using!
|
|
|
|
# install borg + dependencies into virtualenv
|
|
pip install sphinx # optional, to build the docs
|
|
cd borg
|
|
pip install -r requirements.d/development.txt
|
|
pip install -r requirements.d/fuse.txt # optional, for FUSE support
|
|
pip install -e . # in-place editable mode
|
|
|
|
# optional: run all the tests, on all supported Python versions
|
|
# requires fakeroot, available through your package manager
|
|
fakeroot -u tox
|
|
|
|
.. note:: As a developer or power user, you always want to use a virtual environment.
