Michael Gisbers 8375673d93 global-functions: implement notifications via Matrix

Matrix is an open network for secure, decentralized communication - and
it has a web api.

A warning on message type: Using 'm.notice' breaks rendering on Element
for Android (no fixed width font) and does not pop up desktop
notification. Thus we use 'm.text'. Should be safe as we do not send the
messages in response to other messages.

Upload backup to server

◀ Go back to main README

🛈 This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.

Description

This script uploads binary backup (/ system backup save) and complete configuration export (/ export terse) to external server.

Requirements and installation

Just install the script:

$ScriptInstallUpdate upload-backup;

Configuration

The configuration goes to global-config-overlay, these are the parameters:

BackupSendBinary: whether to send binary backup
BackupSendExport: whether to send configuration export
BackupPassword: password to encrypt the backup with
BackupRandomDelay: delay up to amount of seconds when run from scheduler
BackupUploadUrl: url to upload to
BackupUploadUser: username for server authentication
BackupUploadPass: password for server authentication

Also notification settings are required for e-mail, matrix and/or telegram.

Issues with SFTP client

The RouterOS SFTP client is picky if it comes to authentication methods. I had to disable all but password authentication on server side. For openssh edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add a directive like this, changed for your needs:

Match User mikrotik
    AuthenticationMethods password

Usage and invocation

Just run the script:

/ system script run upload-backup;

Creating a scheduler may be an option:

/ system scheduler add interval=1w name=upload-backup on-event="/ system script run upload-backup;" start-time=09:25:00;
