Please refer to the btrbk project page https://digint.ch/btrbk/ for further details.
Description
ssh_filter_btrbk.sh restricts SSH commands to commands used by btrbk. It examines the
SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND environment variable (set by sshd) and executes it only if it contains commands used
by btrbk.
The accepted commands are specified by the "--source", "--target", "--delete" and "--info" options.
The following commands are always allowed:
• "btrfs subvolume show" (not affected by "--restrict-path")
• "btrfs subvolume list" (not affected by "--restrict-path")
• "readlink"
• "test -d" (only if "compat busybox" configuration option is set)
• "cat /proc/self/mountinfo"
• pipes through "gzip", "pigz", "bzip2", "pbzip2", "xz", "lzop", "lz4", "zstd" (stream_compress)
• pipes through "mbuffer" (stream_buffer, rate_limit)
Example line in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on a backup target host:
