## 📝 Modified Files
### 1. `scripts/install-restic.sh`
#### Change 1: Password Persistence (Lines 18-44)
**Purpose:** Store password in shared storage to survive reinstalls
**Before:**
```bash
# Create password file
echo "[INSTALL] Setting up password file..."
if [ ! -f /etc/restic-password ]; then
head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 16 > /etc/restic-password
echo "[INSTALL] Password file created"
fi
chmod 644 /etc/restic-password
```
**After:**
```bash
# Create password file with persistence across reinstalls
echo "[INSTALL] Setting up password file..."
SHARED_PASSWORD="/data/.restic-password"
LOCAL_PASSWORD="/etc/restic-password"
# Ensure /data directory exists
mkdir -p /data
# Strategy: Store password in shared storage (/data) to survive reinstalls
# Priority: shared storage > local existing > generate new
if [ -f "$SHARED_PASSWORD" ]; then
echo "[INSTALL] Using existing password from shared storage"
cp "$SHARED_PASSWORD" "$LOCAL_PASSWORD"
echo "[INSTALL] Password restored from shared storage"
elif [ -f "$LOCAL_PASSWORD" ]; then
echo "[INSTALL] Backing up existing local password to shared storage"
cp "$LOCAL_PASSWORD" "$SHARED_PASSWORD"
chmod 600 "$SHARED_PASSWORD"
echo "[INSTALL] Password backed up to shared storage"
else
echo "[INSTALL] Creating new password (first installation)"
head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 16 > "$LOCAL_PASSWORD"
cp "$LOCAL_PASSWORD" "$SHARED_PASSWORD"
chmod 600 "$SHARED_PASSWORD"
echo "[INSTALL] New password created and stored in shared storage"
fi
chmod 644 "$LOCAL_PASSWORD"
```
**Impact:** ✅ Password survives uninstall/reinstall
---
#### Change 2: Safe Repository Initialization (Lines 51-75)
**Purpose:** Never delete existing backup data
**Before:**
```bash
# Initialize repository
echo "[INSTALL] Initializing repository..."
export RESTIC_PASSWORD=$(cat /etc/restic-password)
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=/data
if restic snapshots >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "[INSTALL] Repository already exists and is accessible"
else
echo "[INSTALL] Initializing new repository..."
rm -rf /data/* 2>/dev/null || true # ⚠️ DESTROYS ALL DATA
restic init
echo "[INSTALL] Repository initialized successfully"
fi
```
**After:**
```bash
# Initialize repository (SAFE - preserves existing backups)
echo "[INSTALL] Initializing repository..."
export RESTIC_PASSWORD=$(cat /etc/restic-password)
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=/data
# Check if repository is accessible with current password
if restic snapshots >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo "[INSTALL] Repository already exists and is accessible"
SNAPSHOT_COUNT=$(restic snapshots --json | jq '. | length' 2>/dev/null || echo "0")
echo "[INSTALL] Found $SNAPSHOT_COUNT existing snapshot(s)"
else
# Try to initialize - only works on empty/new repositories
echo "[INSTALL] Attempting to initialize repository..."
if restic init 2>/dev/null; then
echo "[INSTALL] New repository initialized successfully"
else
# Repository might exist but with different password or corrupted
echo "[INSTALL] WARNING: Repository initialization failed"
echo "[INSTALL] This could mean:"
echo "[INSTALL] 1. Repository already exists (safe to ignore)"
echo "[INSTALL] 2. Password mismatch with existing repository"
echo "[INSTALL] 3. Permission issues"
echo "[INSTALL] Please check repository manually if backups are missing"
fi
fi
```
**Impact:** ✅ No data deletion, shows snapshot count
---
### 2. `manifest.jps`
#### Change 1: Documentation Header (Lines 8-10)
**Purpose:** Document shared storage requirement
**Added:**
```yaml
# IMPORTANT: This addon requires /data to be mounted to shared storage
# Ensure your environment has Shared Storage mounted to /data before installation
# The backup repository and password file are stored in /data for persistence
```
**Impact:** ✅ Clear documentation
---
#### Change 2: Global Variables (Line 23)
**Purpose:** Explicit repository path declaration
**Before:**
```yaml
globals:
envName: "${env.name}"
scriptPath: "/home/litespeed/mb-backups"
logPath: "/home/litespeed/mb-backups/logs"
```
**After:**
```yaml
globals:
envName: "${env.name}"
scriptPath: "/home/litespeed/mb-backups"
logPath: "/home/litespeed/mb-backups/logs"
backupRepoPath: "/data"
```
**Impact:** ✅ Centralized configuration
---
#### Change 3: Installation Sequence (Lines 25-29)
**Purpose:** Validate storage before installation
**Before:**
```yaml
onInstall:
- checkAddons
- installRestic
- importScripts
```
**After:**
```yaml
onInstall:
- checkAddons
- validateStorageMount # NEW: Validate /data exists and is writable
- installRestic
- importScripts
```
**Impact:** ✅ Fail early if storage not available
---
#### Change 4: New Storage Validation Action (Lines 187-210)
**Purpose:** Ensure /data is properly mounted
**Added:**
```yaml
validateStorageMount:
- cmd[cp]:
user: root
commands:
- |
echo "[VALIDATION] Checking storage mount at /data..."
if [ ! -d "/data" ]; then
echo "[ERROR] /data directory does not exist!"
echo "[ERROR] This addon requires /data to be mounted to shared storage."
echo "[ERROR] Please ensure Shared Storage is mounted to /data before installing this addon."
exit 1
fi
if [ ! -w "/data" ]; then
echo "[WARNING] /data is not writable, attempting to fix permissions..."
chmod 755 /data || exit 1
fi
touch /data/.mount_test 2>/dev/null || {
echo "[ERROR] Cannot write to /data directory!"
echo "[ERROR] Please check mount permissions for shared storage."
exit 1
}
rm -f /data/.mount_test
echo "[VALIDATION] Storage mount validated successfully"
echo "[VALIDATION] /data is accessible and writable"
```
**Impact:** ✅ Prevents installation if storage unavailable
---
#### Change 5: Safe Uninstall (Lines 374-393)
**Purpose:** Preserve backup data and password on uninstall
**Before:**
```yaml
removeScripts:
- cmd[cp]:
user: root
commands:
# Remove the crontab entry for the add-on
- (crontab -l | grep -v "${globals.scriptPath}/manage_backup_schedule.sh" | crontab -) || true
# Stop any running backup processes
- pkill -f "restic" || true
- pkill -f "mb-backups" || true
# Remove script directory
- rm -rf "${globals.scriptPath}"
# Remove backup repository completely
- rm -rf /data/backups # ⚠️ Wrong path
# Remove password file
- rm -f /etc/restic-password # ⚠️ CRITICAL DATA LOSS
# Remove log rotation config
- rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/backup-addon
# Remove any restic cache
- rm -rf /home/*/cache/restic || true
- rm -rf /root/.cache/restic || true
```
**After:**
```yaml
removeScripts:
- cmd[cp]:
user: root
commands:
# Remove the crontab entry for the add-on
- (crontab -l | grep -v "${globals.scriptPath}/manage_backup_schedule.sh" | crontab -) || true
# Stop any running backup processes
- pkill -f "mb-backups" || true
# Remove script directory
- rm -rf "${globals.scriptPath}"
# PRESERVE BACKUP DATA: DO NOT delete /data (repository stored on shared storage)
# PRESERVE PASSWORD: DO NOT delete /etc/restic-password (needed to access backups after reinstall)
# Note: Password is now stored in /data/.restic-password for persistence
# Remove log rotation config only
- rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/backup-addon
# Remove restic cache only (safe to delete)
- rm -rf /home/*/cache/restic || true
- rm -rf /root/.cache/restic || true
# Log the preservation
- echo "[UNINSTALL] Backup repository and password preserved for future use" | tee -a /var/log/backup_addon.log
```
**Impact:** ✅ No data loss on uninstall

## 📊 Impact Summary
| File | Lines Changed | Lines Added | Lines Removed |
|------|--------------|-------------|---------------|
| `scripts/install-restic.sh` | ~40 | ~35 | ~5 |
| `manifest.jps` | ~50 | ~30 | ~3 |
| **Total** | **~90** | **~65** | **~8** |
## 🎯 Critical Changes
### 🔴 Removed (Dangerous)
1.`rm -rf /data/*` - Deleted all backups
2.`rm -f /etc/restic-password` - Lost access to backups
3.`rm -rf /data/backups` - Incorrect path
4.`pkill -f "restic"` - Could interrupt backups
### 🟢 Added (Protective)
1. ✅ Password storage in `/data/.restic-password`
2. ✅ Storage mount validation
3. ✅ Repository preservation on uninstall
4. ✅ Snapshot count reporting
5. ✅ Detailed logging and error messages
## 🔄 Data Flow Changes
### Old Flow (Broken):
```
Install → Generate Random Password → Store in /etc
Uninstall → DELETE Password → DELETE Repository
Reinstall → Generate NEW Password → Can't Access Old Backups ❌
```
### New Flow (Fixed):
```
Install → Generate/Restore Password → Store in /etc AND /data
Uninstall → PRESERVE Password → PRESERVE Repository
Reinstall → RESTORE Password from /data → Access All Backups ✅
```
## 🧪 Verification Points
After deploying these changes, verify:
1. ✅ Password exists in both locations: `/etc/restic-password` AND `/data/.restic-password`
2. ✅ Passwords are identical: `diff /etc/restic-password /data/.restic-password`
3. ✅ Repository accessible: `restic -r /data snapshots` works
4. ✅ Snapshots preserved after uninstall/reinstall
5. ✅ Can restore from old backups
