[tor-talk] Borg SSH could not resolve hostname

[anan <anan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I'm trying to run BorgBackup through Tor for some small backups.
Borg uses SSH for remote backups.

I installed Tor on my local and remote computers.
I configured an onion SSH service in the remote one, where my Borg
server is.
I can SSH the remote computer through Tor without a problem.

To run Borg, in my local script I have

BORG_REPO=ssh://iamusininthismessagethisfakeversion3onionaddressinsteadofmyrealone.onion:2222/path/to/repo

and have "torsocks" before the "borg create" command.

That does the job, the backups are done,
however I am getting some name resolution error (please see below).

Do you have any advice?

Thank you!

PS. I sent this message to the tor-onions mailing list, but I only
received an automatic message saying my message was waiting for
moderator approval. That was one week ago. That's why I'm sending it
here now.
