Setup Amazon S3 backup on QNAP using s3cmd - amazon-s3

I own a QNAP-219P and I want to set this up manually using s3cmd.
I did quite a bit of research on this, and here are the references I got:

I'm trying to get the s3cmd to work on my TS-219P.
I got everything to work (on command line), even running the script file (s3-backup.sh) on command line:
#!/bin/bash <-- I also tried #!/bin/sh
/share/maintenance/s3cmd-1.5.0-rc1/s3cmd --rr sync -rv /share/all-shared-folders/emilie/ s3://kingjim-backup/kingjim-nas/emilie/ >> /share/maintenance/log/s3cmd/backup_`date "+%Y%m%d-%H-%M"`.log <-- I also tried running s3cmd via python by adding /usr/bin/python on the front.
If I run using the SSH command prompt, it seems to work perfectly.
The problem though, is the cronjob. I can confirm the cronjob trigger, and it was run, because my log file (the one above) was generated, but the log is always empty, even though I'm sure there are some new files created/modified.
This is my cronjob task:
14 3 * * * /share/maintenance/s3-backup.sh 2>&1 | logger
I've done a number of different variations on the above, but couldn't find out what was missing.
I feel like some dependency is missing when the crontab is running, as compared to when I run it on command prompt. But I don't know how to debug crontab.

Found out that the problem was that the s3cmd configuration file was not found when running s3cmd.
So the fix was simply to copy this .s3config file to a safe shared folder, and then call the s3cmd with the "--config" parameter followed by the file.
Like this:
/share/maintenance/s3-backup/s3cmd/s3cmd --config
/share/maintenance/s3-backup/s3cmd.config --rr sync -rv /share/MD0_DATA/ s3://xxx-backup/xxx-nas/ >> /share/maintenance/s3-backup/logs/backup_`date "+%Y%m%d-%H-%M"`.log 2>&1

Github Actions, permission denied when using custom shell

I am trying to use a shell script as a custom shell in Github Actions like this:
- name: Test bash-wrapper
shell: bash-wrapper {0}
run: |
echo Hello world
However, when I try to run it, I get Permission denied.
Background: I have set up a chroot jail, which I use with QEMU user mode emulation in order to build for non-IA64 architectures with toolchains that lack cross-compilation support.
The script is intended to provide a bash shell on the target architecture and looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
sudo chroot --userspec=`whoami`:`whoami` $CROSS_ROOT qemu-arm-static /bin/bash -c "$*"
It resides in /bin/bash-wrapper and it thus on $PATH.
Digging a bit deeper, I found:
Running bash-wrapper "echo Hello world" in a GHA step with the default shell works as expected.
Running bash-wrapper 'echo Running as $(whoami)' from the default shell correctly reports we are running as user runner.
Removing --userspec from the chroot command in bash-wrapper (thus running the command as root) does not make a difference – the custom shell gives the same error.
GHA converts each step into a script file and passes it to the shell.
File ownership on these files is runner:docker, runner being the user that runs the job by default.
Interestingly, the script files generated by GHA are not executable. I suspect that is what is ultimately causing the permission error.
Indeed, if I modify bash-wrapper to set the executable bit on the script before running it, everything works as expected.
I imagine non-executable script files would cause all sorts of troubles with various shells, thus I would expect GHA would have a way of dealing with that – in fact I am a bit surprised these on-the-fly scripts are not executable by default.
Is there a less hacky way of fixing this, such as telling GHA to set the executable bit on temporary scripts? (How does Github expect this to be solved?)
When calling your script try running it like this:
- name: Test bash-wrapper
shell: bash-wrapper {0}
run: |
bash <your_script>.sh
Alternatively, try running this command locally and the commit and push the repository:
git update-index --chmod=+x <your_script>.sh

Apache Airflow command not found with SSHOperator

I am trying to use the SSHOperator to SSH into a remote machine and run an external application through the command line. I have setup the SSH connection via the admin page.
This section of code is used to define the commands and the SSH connection to the external machine.
sshHook = SSHHook(ssh_conn_id='remote_comp')
command_1 ="""
cd /files/232-065/Rans
bash run.sh
"""
Where 'run.sh' runs the shell script:
#!/bin/sh
starccm+ -batch run_export.java Rans_Model.sim
Which simply runs the commercial software starccm+ with some options I have specified.
This section defines the task:
inlet_profile = SSHOperator(
task_id='inlet_profile',
ssh_hook=sshHook,
command=command_1
)
I have confirmed the SSH connection works by giving a simple 'ls' command and checking the output.
The error that I get is:
bash run.sh, error: run.sh: line 2: starccm+: command not found
The command in 'run.sh' works when I am logged into the machine (it does not require a GUI). This makes me think that there is a problem with the SSH session and it is not the same as the one that Apache Airflow logs into, but I am not sure how to solve this problem.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
There is no issue with SSH connection (at least from the error message). However, the issue is with starccm+ installation path.
Please check the installation path of starccm+ .
Check if the installation path is part of $PATH env variable
$ echo $PATH
If not, then install it in the standard locations like /bin or /usr/bin etc (provided they are included in $PATH variable), or export the installed director into PATH variable like this,
$ export PATH=$PATH:/<absolute_path>
It is not ideal but if you struggle with setting the path variable you can run starccm stating the full path like:
/directory/where/star/is/installed/starccm+ -batch run_export.java Rans_Model.sim

Why is $PATH different when executing commands via SSH and libssh?

I'm trying to run a command on a remote host via libssh2 as wrapped by the ssh2 Rust crate.
So I would like to run the command cargo build, but when I try to run it via libssh, I get the error:
cargo: command not found
However, when I ssh into the server manually from the command line everything works fine.
I have noticed that the $PATH is different when running ssh from the command line and libssh as well:
for instance when I echo $PATH
ssh gives me:
/home/<user>/.cargo/bin:/usr/share/swift/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bi
while libssh gives me:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
So it looks like what's happening is that the modifications made to $PATH inside .bashrc and .profile are not making it in when running via libssh.
I also get the same behavior if I run /bin/bash -c "echo ${PATH}"
Why would this be the case, and is there any way to get the same behavior in both these cases?
Please take a look at that question.
TL;DR A login shell first reads /etc/profile and then ~/.bash_profile. A non-login shell reads from /etc/bash.bashrc and then ~/.bashrc.

How to attach Bucket to Google Compute Engine VM on Startup?

I would like to, on startup, copy contents of my bucket to the VM with the Container Optimized OS. When the server shuts down I'd like to save the changes back to the bucket.
I've tried making a startup script
#!/bin/bash
toolbox
gsutil cp -r gs://my-bucket/
However, this causes the VM to fail on startup despite this script working if I run it manually.
I think I found a reasonable solution. My script has changed to
#! /bin/bash
toolbox --bind=/home/username/bucket-folder:/my-bucket <<< "gsutil cp -r /my-bucket/* gs://my-bucket"
So what happens is we need to call toolbox --bind to bind a folder from the server to the toolbox container. Then we use <<< to pass the whole command to the container when it starts up so we copy to the newly bound directory so it goes back to the server.
Now when I bound the directory in my docker container, everything is there!
I just tried:
#! /bin/bash
gsutil cp -r gs://my-bucket /
And it worked for me. What is the toolbox command that you are executing previously?
Anyway you can see what is failing in the Serial Port Output.
EDIT: In the Container Optimized OS this does not work as this OS does not have the gsutil package preinstalled. Refer to #DanBaba answer.

Running .sh scripts in Git Bash

I'm on a Windows machine using Git 2.7.2.windows.1 with MinGW 64.
I have a script in C:/path/to/scripts/myScript.sh.
How do I execute this script from my Git Bash instance?
It was possible to add it to the .bashrc file and then just execute the entire bashrc file.
But I want to add the script to a separate file and execute it from there.
Let's say you have a script script.sh. To run it (using Git Bash), you do the following: [a] Add a "sh-bang" line on the first line (e.g. #!/bin/bash) and then [b]:
# Use ./ (or any valid dir spec):
./script.sh
Note: chmod +x does nothing to a script's executability on Git Bash. It won't hurt to run it, but it won't accomplish anything either.
#!/usr/bin/env sh
this is how git bash knows a file is executable. chmod a+x does nothing in gitbash. (Note: any "she-bang" will work, e.g. #!/bin/bash, etc.)
If you wish to execute a script file from the git bash prompt on Windows, just precede the script file with sh
sh my_awesome_script.sh
if you are on Linux or ubuntu write ./file_name.sh
and you are on windows just write sh before file name like that sh file_name.sh
For Linux -> ./filename.sh
For Windows -> sh file_name.sh
If your running export command in your bash script the above-given solution may not export anything even if it will run the script. As an alternative for that, you can run your script using
. script.sh
Now if you try to echo your var it will be shown. Check my the result on my git bash
(coffeeapp) user (master *) capstone
$ . setup.sh
done
(coffeeapp) user (master *) capstone
$ echo $ALGORITHMS
[RS256]
(coffeeapp) user (master *) capstone
$

I had a similar problem, but I was getting an error message
cannot execute binary file
I discovered that the filename contained non-ASCII characters. When those were fixed, the script ran fine with ./script.sh.
Once you're in the directory, just run it as ./myScript.sh
If by any chance you've changed the default open for .sh files to a text editor like I had, you can just "bash .\yourscript.sh", provided you have git bash installed and in path.
I was having two .sh scripts to start and stop the digital ocean servers that I wanted to run from the Windows 10. What I did is:
downloaded "Git for Windows" (from https://git-scm.com/download/win).
installed Git
to execute the .sh script just double-clicked the script file it started the execution of the script.
Now to run the script each time I just double-click the script
#!/bin/bash at the top of the file automatically makes the .sh file executable.
I agree the chmod does not do anything but the above line solves the problem.
you can either give the entire path in gitbash to execute it or add it in the PATH variable
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/the/script
then you an run it from anywhere
