Installation server components

Introduction

In general, you should get the binary packages from your download area on www.bacula.org.  You can either download what you need or setup a repository pointing to the download area that will allow you to use your installer program such as apt to ensure that all the dependencies a met.

This will install these components:

• Database Server PostgreSQL
• Bacula Director
• Bacula Storage Server

Setup the repository

apt-get install apt-transport-https
wget https://bacula.org/downloads/Bacula-4096-Distribution-Verification-key.asc
apt-key add Bacula-4096-Distribution-Verification-key.asc

Add to your /etc/apt/sources.list file the following entries:

# Bacula
deb https://www.bacula.org/packages/65f518dfc0382/debs/13.0.4 bookworm main

Installation

apt-get update
apt-get install dbconfig-common postgresql
apt-get install bacula-postgresql

I choose the name of the application as password for the Postgre Database. There is small untilitiy installed with the director: bconsole.
