sudo forks and execs the program. sudo also hangs around as the parent of the program waiting on the program and also forwarding signals.
sudo does not forward signals when the originator comes from the same process group. recently, there has been a change where it will
forward signals as long as sudo or the command is not the group leader (https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo/rev/d1bf60eac57f)
for us, this means that calling kill from this node process doesn't work since it's in the same group (and ubuntu 22 doesn't have the above fix).
the workaround is to invoke a kill from a different process group and this is done by starting detached
another idea is: use "ps --pid cp.pid -o pid=" to get the pid of the command and then send it signal directly

notes:
* backup root cannot come from backend. for dynamic mounts backend cannot know where it is mounted
* backupConfig is 3 parts - format / mount / password . there is also this rootPath (which should not be in db)
* password should be stored separately in settings at some point
* format has to be passed along everywhere because we allow restore from same backupConfig but different format. we do this by saving the format in the backups table
fixes#819
9c8f78a059 already fixed many of the cert issues.
However, some issues were caught in the CI:
* The TLS addon has to be rebuilt and not just restarted. For this reason, we now
move things to a directory instead of mounting files. This way the container is just restarted.
* Cleanups must be driven by the database and not the filesystem . Deleting files on disk or after a restore,
the certs are left dangling forever in the db.
* Separate the db cert logic and disk cert logic. This way we can sync as many times as we want and whenever we want.
