======== PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite databases
Bacula director supports different databases backends, if you want to switch
away from the default PostgreSQL one you need to change the "libbaccats" (the
catalogue library) symlink to the real library. The following examples uses
version 5.2.4, substitute them with you running version.
Show the current database backend:
# alternatives --display libbaccats-5.2.4.so
libbaccats-5.2.4.so - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.4.so
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.4.so - priority 50
slave libbaccats.so: /usr/lib64/libbaccats-5.2.4.so
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3-5.2.4.so - priority 40
slave libbaccats.so: /usr/lib64/libbaccats-5.2.4.so
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.4.so - priority 60
slave libbaccats.so: /usr/lib64/libbaccats-5.2.4.so
Current `best' version is /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.4.so.
To change to a different backend (i.e. MySQL), issue the following command:
# update-alternatives --set libbaccats-5.2.4.so /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.4.so
======== Quick installation guide with the default PostgreSQL backend
Perform the following commands as root to install Bacula with its default
configuration and all daemons and consoles in one server. Tune your commands
accordingly.
1) Install packages
# yum -y install postgresql-server bacula-director bacula-storage \
bacula-client bacula-console bacula-console-bat
2) Create database
# postgresql-setup initdb
# systemctl enable postgresql.service
# systemctl start postgresql.service
# su - postgres
# cd /usr/libexec/bacula
# ./create_bacula_database
# ./make_bacula_tables
# ./grant_bacula_privileges
3) Change passwords in /etc/bacula/*conf with something you like
# sed -i -e 's/@@DIR_PASSWORD@@/dir-Fedora/g' \
-e 's/@@FD_PASSWORD@@/fd-Fedora/g' \
-e 's/@@SD_PASSWORD@@/sd-Fedora/g' \
-e 's/@@MON_DIR_PASSWORD@@/mon-dir-Fedora/g' \
-e 's/@@MON_FD_PASSWORD@@/mon-fd-Fedora/g' \
-e 's/@@MON_SD_PASSWORD@@/mon-sd-Fedora/g' \
/etc/bacula/*conf
4) Enable daemons and check they are working
# systemctl enable bacula-dir.service
# systemctl enable bacula-sd.service
# systemctl enable bacula-fd.service
# systemctl start bacula-dir.service
# echo status bacula-dir | bconsole
# systemctl start bacula-sd.service
# echo status bacula-sd | bconsole
# systemctl start bacula-fd.service
# echo status bacula-fd | bconsole
5) Install the docs and read them!!
# yum -y install bacula-docs
