= How do I create a backup account for a member? = The steps for creating a backup account for a member are: * Use iz.mayfirst.org (for now). * Edit the iz.pp file in puppet * Add a stanza in the following format: {{{ m_backupninja::server::configure_member_backup{ "$group": username => "$username", ssh_key => "$ssh_key" } }}} $group should be replaced by the member's short group name (if you are not sure what that is - you can login to their mosh. It's the name in their sites directory that comes after /home/members/ (e.g. May First's directory is: /home/members/mayfirst.org/sites/mayfirst.org and "mayfirst" is our group name). $username should be the login used on the backup server. The easiest format is to add "-sync" to their group name (e.g. mayfirst-sync). $ssh_key should be the ssh public key that provide to you, including the "ssh-rsa" part at the beginning and (optionally) including the {{{user@domain}}} tag at at the end. * Commit your changes, push the changes to origin and then to iz. The member should now be able to ssh into the server with `ssh $username@iz.mayfirst.org`. You may direct them to the [wiki:faq/backup-setup user's backup help page].
