Hi  Vaughan

Heitor from Bacula Latam has a script that automates the Bacula Instalation process.

Please have a look at

Best Regards

Hello,

I’m trying to the follow the installation / setup instructions here https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Installing_Bacula.html

Unfortunately, I’m finding these docs hard to follow.

The ‘Installing Bacula’ section appears to focus primarily on building Bacula from the source.

However, in my case, I have downloaded the Debian 11 binaries, so I think this section is largely irrelevant in my scenario.

I have downloaded and installed the following packages:

sudo dpkg -i bacula-common_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i bacula-client_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i bacula-console_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install dbconfig-common

sudo apt-get install dbconfig-pgsql

sudo apt-get install postgresql-contrib

sudo dpkg -i bacula-postgresql_13.0.3-1_amd64.deb

During the postgresql installation a menu appeared, and I was prompted to perform some high-level database configuration.

So, to the best of my knowledge I have installed Bacula OK and basic PostgreSQL configuration is done.

In the tutorial section https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Brief_Tutorial.html

The first step is:

 1. cd <install-directory>

But I don’t have an install directory, as I downloaded all of the binaries. So, where should I be starting from?

Step 2. Start the Database.

According to systemctl: PostgreSQL service is active.

Step 3. Start the Daemons with ./bacula start

I get no such file or directory.

The files / folders that I do have are:

/opt/bacula

/opt/bacula/scripts/bacula

/var/log/bacula

/var/lib/bacula

Would appreciate some suggestions on what to do / try next.

Also, is there by chance another installation guide / tutorial that is perhaps easier to follow than this guide. I’ve had a look on Google and YouTube and while I have found some other resources, they don’t seem to be the “answer”. So, for now, I’ve been persisting with this guide.

Thanks

Regards,

Vaughan
