name: reolink-remote-backup

description: Set up reliable off-site Reolink camera backup when cameras are remote (4G/5G/LTE) and home inbound networking is constrained (CGNAT/locked routers). Use for architecture decisions, VPS relay setup, FTP/FTPS ingest, local/NAS pull sync, retention, and troubleshooting upload/auth/path failures.

# Reolink Remote Backup

Implement resilient backup using:

1. Reolink camera FTP/FTPS upload -> VPS relay

2. Local machine pull from VPS -> NAS/local archive

3. Retention + health checks

Use this flow when direct camera->home ingest is impractical.

Inputs to collect

  • Camera model + hardware version
  • Whether FTP/FTPS options are visible in app/client
  • VPS host/IP and SSH access method
  • Local destination path (NAS mountpoint)
  • Desired pull interval (default 10 min)
  • Desired VPS retention window (default 30 days)

    • Workflow

    1) Validate architecture constraints

  • If home inbound routing is locked/CGNAT, prefer VPS relay.
  • Keep NAS off public internet.
  • Use local pull from VPS (never rely on VPS pushing into home NAT).

    • 2) Configure VPS ingest

    Run `scripts/setup_vps_vsftpd.sh` on VPS as root. It:

  • installs vsftpd + ufw
  • creates `reolinkftp` ingest user
  • sets up `/srv/reolink/incoming`
  • opens SSH + FTP passive ports

    • Then set camera FTP/FTPS target to VPS.

    3) Configure local pull

    Run `scripts/setup_local_pull.sh` on local machine. It writes:

  • `/home/$USER/bin/reolink_pull.sh`
  • systemd user service + timer with `Persistent=true`

    • This ensures catch-up after downtime.

    4) Set retention safety

    Run `scripts/setup_vps_retention.sh` on VPS to prune old files if local sync is offline for prolonged periods.

    5) Verify

  • Trigger camera upload or run camera FTP test.
  • Confirm files appear on VPS: `/srv/reolink/incoming`
  • Run local pull script once manually.
  • Confirm files appear on destination path.
  • Confirm timer active: `systemctl --user list-timers | grep reolink-pull`

    • Troubleshooting

    Read `references/troubleshooting.md` for response-code and log-driven fixes.

    Fast checks:

  • VPS service status: `systemctl status vsftpd`
  • VPS logs: `journalctl -u vsftpd -n 120 --no-pager`
  • FTP logs: `tail -n 120 /var/log/vsftpd.log`
  • Mount status (local): `mountpoint -q <mountpath>`

    • Security baseline

  • Use SSH keys for VPS admin access.
  • Keep FTP user isolated from admin users.
  • Prefer FTPS after initial debugging.
  • Enforce retention so VPS disk cannot fill.
  • Rotate any credential exposed in chat/logs.
