Backup through a proxy
Hi,
I am trying to do a first backup of my server. The signup to Amazon for storage has been completed and I have my Turnkey hub API key. When I try to set it on the server web interface I get the error
Error: error(6, "Couldn't resolve host 'hub.turnkeylinux.org'")
Can anyone advise how to troubleshoot this? I presume backup through a proxy is supported?
Thanks
Aidan

Reply 1I don't really how to set it up to use a proxy
Reply 2But like most things Linux I am sure it is possible! :)
My first guess would be to check the docs. If you get no dice there, then I suggest that you consult google. TKLBAM uses Duplicity as a backend so if you search soemthing like "use duplicity via proxy debian" you should get some hints at least...
Actually just reading your post again, it looks like DNS resolution is the issue... TBH I have very limited experience using proxies at all so not sure how all that works... If you keep in mind that TKL is built on Debian (v13.0 = Wheezy) then google should have heaps of ideas...
If you have any joy, it'd be great if you could post back with info because I'm sure you will save future users some efforts! :)
Hi, I've checked the logs
Reply 3Hi,
I've checked the logs and as you suggested taken a look at Duplicity.....none the wiser!
Can anyone suggest the easiest way for me to backup my server? At the moment I am powering down the VM and taking a copy of the VMDK. I would like a way to automate this.
As I am behind a proxy, the TKLBAM option seems to be out.
Any tutorials on backup to a network location would be really useful
Thanks in advance
Same Here
