Rsync Webmin from master VPS1 to child VPS2

vi flag

I am attempting to replicate(rsync) the etc/webmin directory from the Master VPS (VPS-1) to the Child VPS (VPS-2). However, after performing the copy, the server summary on the Child VPS still displays the IP address of the Master VPS. My goal is to retain the IP address and networking configuration of the Child VPS while only copying the Webmin configuration. I'm using Ubuntu and below is the script I am using to achieve this:


# Create a timestamp for the log file
timestamp=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)

# Log file path
log_file="/root/sync_log_${timestamp}.log"

# Function to log messages to the log file
log() {
    echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') $1" >> "$log_file"
}

# Log start of the synchronization
log "Starting synchronization..."

# Sync Webmin configuration files
log "Syncing Webmin configuration files..."
rsync -avz --delete --exclude='dns' --exclude='mail' --exclude='proc' --exclude='run' --exclude='sys' --exclude='tmp' --exclude='dev' --exclude='mnt' --exclude='var/run' --exclude='var/lock' --exclude='var/tmp' --exclude='var/log' /etc/webmin/ root@VPS-2-SERVER-IP:/etc/webmin/ >> "$log_file" 2>&1

# Dump all databases on VPS-1
log "Dumping all databases on VPS-1..."
mysqldump -u root -p'VPS-1_MYSQL_PASSWORD_FOR_USER_ROOT' --all-databases > /root/all_databases_dump.sql 2>> "$log_file"

# Copy the database dump to VPS-2
log "Copying the database dump to VPS-2..."
scp /root/all_databases_dump.sql root@VPS-2_SERVER_IP:/root/ >> "$log_file" 2>&1

# Import all databases on VPS-2 (no password needed for 'root' user)
log "Importing all databases on VPS-2..."
ssh root@VPS_2_SERVER_IP "mysql -u root -p'VPS_2_MYSQL_PASSWORD_FOR_USER_ROOT' < /root/all_databases_dump.sql" >> "$log_file" 2>&1

# Remove the local database dump file on VPS-1
log "Removing the local database dump file..."
rm /root/all_databases_dump.sql

# Log end of the synchronization
log "Synchronization completed."

# Optional: Delete old log files (older than 7 days)
# This will delete log files older than 7 days (adjust as needed)
find /root -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "sync_log_*" -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

# Exit with success status
exit 0```

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
