I have a self-hosted Ghost site that hasn’t launched yet. Short version: I wanted to move the VM I host it on from VMware to Proxmox and Proxmox’s automated import utility didn’t work. So I decided I’d just take a backup of the site and build a new VM. Despite being only like two weeks old and not having even launched yet, it’s failing to backup. It gets to “Backing up site” and a few seconds later, aborts with this:
‘connect EHOSTUNREACH 172.97.213.160:443’
I have no idea what the IP address is, but there’s nothing in my network remotely resembling that. When my old VM is booted up, the site is still accessible and everything else works fine.
I know there is currently a bug that prevents ghost backup from running when MFA is enabled, but I temporarily disabled it using a known workaround that has worked before, but it didn’t change this.
I’d really rather avoid doing a manual backup. Anyone know what’s up here?
Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Just ended up doing a manual backup and redoing the entire VM and Ghost setup from scratch. Now the backup command is just failing with the known 2FA bug, but not with that connection issue. No idea, but hopefully someone might be able to post a fix for future users running into this. #JustFOSSThings
