Hello,
First of all I would like to thank you for the great work.
I have three questions.
best regards
Hi
Currently not, no.
Check $HESTIA/conf/mysql.conf, you can change the password and update the conf file (probaly also in /root/.my.cnf).
That’s a good question, will discuss with the team to probaly implement sury’s repository for apache2, infact we have already the php one.
Good point about password protecting backup files 
I think it’s absolutely essential when the files are offloaded to a remote location.
A tar file can’t be password protected. Neither the tar format nor the gz format has built-in support for password-protecting files
But you can use this in your script before pull/push from/to remote location
zip -P "$password" $DES/$PATH/$file.zip /backup/$SOURCE_FILE.tar
and unzip $SOURCE_FILE.tar.zip will ask you for password before decompress
Maybe not best deal, but It works
Can you please put that in later?
When will you discuss it?
As @changeme already specified, tar doesnt support any encryption - currently there is no plan to implement it.
Already done, we will do a test branch and check if it works properly, then do further decissions.
The test branch has uploaded to github, we would love if you could have a look and give us a feedback if it works properly: https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/tree/core-sury-apache2
How to test and install custom builds: https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp#installing--testing-development-builds
I can recommend Duplicati here. Daily backup to Google Drive w/ GPG protection.
Features:
Duplicati is endeed a gem. I use it elsewhere but not for VPS buckup (just yet).
Unfortunately I don’t have a free server to test it on at the moment, but I hope you get feedback from others.
i have reinstalled hestiacp on ubuntu 18.04 but .my.cnf is no longer available. where is the root data now? was the file moved?
Use the command locate
[email protected]:~# locate my.cnf
It wil show you the right directions
[email protected]:~# locate my.cnf
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
/etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/migrated-from-my.cnf-settings.conf
/root/.my.cnf
The Branch core-sury-apache2 branch has been merged with the master branch.
A reinstallation is nearly never a good idea, why you did it? @eris is right with locate, also there is a folder in /root called hst_installer_backup (or similar, just on mobile here), which contains all backups from the installer script.
i have a new server and had to reinstall it. the command locate my.cnf gave no response but i found it now under /usr/local/hestia/conf. on the test server it is in /root.
funny that this has changed :).
