Add rsync page with how to restrict access

New page

rsync is a utility for efficiently transferring and synchronizing files between a computer and an external hard drive and across networked computers by comparing the modification times and sizes of files.

== Running a server ==

Running rsync via SSH is recommended for security reasons.

You can restrict an SSH user to rsync command using {{ic|pkgs.rrsync}}:

<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">

users.users.backup = {
isNormalUser = true;
openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [
''command="${pkgs.rrsync}/bin/rrsync /home/backup/dir/" ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaCetcetera/etceteraJZMfk3QPfQ''
];
};
</syntaxhighlight>

Now you should be able to backup to your directory with the rsync client:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
$ rsync -Pav -e "ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/somekeys" photos backup@server:
</syntaxhighlight>

See [https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rrsync.1 rrsync.1] for additional options, such as enforcing read-only or write-only access.
