Ubuntu incremental encrypted backups to S3/Glacier
#!/bin/bash
#
# Note, to pull a file from s3 use "s3cmd get s://bucket/file destinationfile"
# You must have the proper .s3cfg file in place to decrypt the file.
# You may also use "gpg encryptedfile" and supply the encryption code if you download
# from the web interface. Good luck.
# The bucket should be set to transfer to Glacier. To retreive, you need to initiate a

Homebrew, Ruby, and Rails on OS X 10.10

OS X 10.10 Guide

Here's what I did to get things working.

1. Install Xcode 6

Yep, over at: https://developer.apple.com

2. Install the Command Line Tools (CLT)

Build your own private, encrypted, open-source Dropbox-esque sync folder

Prerequisites:

  • One or more clients running a UNIX-like OS. Examples are given for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, although all software components are available for other platforms as well (e.g. OS X). YMMV
  • A cheap Ubuntu 12.04 VPS with storage. I recommend Backupsy, they offer 250GB storage for $5/month. Ask Google for coupon codes.

Software components used:

  • Unison for file synchronization
  • EncFS for folder encryption
