a little confused in setting up b2_env.sh

[noidtw]

I've followed the instruction to set up the backup. Just when I run "restic snapshots", it says "Please specify repository location (-r)"

I then follow the instruction on restic intruction to creat a b2 repository. So, should I put the export repository in

b2_env.sh.template
RESTIC_REPOSITORY="b2:" ?

for example RESTIC_REPOSITORY="b2:b01555522e3"
or RESTIC_REPOSITORY="b2:xxbucket:path/to/repo"

Thanks for the excellent work.

Hey! I recommend using make install. This will copy b2_env.sh.template to /etc/restic/b2_env.sh.

It is then in /etc/restic/b2_env.sh that you should put your RESTIC_REPOSITORY value :)

If you don't use make install, you have to copy this file yourself as instructed in https://github.com/erikw/restic-systemd-automatic-backup#2-configure-your-b2-account-locally

Beware, there's a major update to this repo hopefully being merged in the next days which simplifies the instructions. You can already look at it here if you want

Yes, i used make to auto setup. However, the b2_env.sh still need manual configuration.

And what i don't understand is the RESTIC_REPOSITORY value that i have to put in it.

Is it the bucket name of my b2?

Yes correct you need to edit it

You will get the values for b2_env.sh from step 1

when you create your b2 account :)

Thanks, i missed that part. I thought the only thing i need is the b2 account. Sorry, my bad.
