Hi folks,
Installing on Debian 11 is bound to fail, as the documentation and
reality are not in sync. I had this problem yesterday, and spent quite
some time figuring out what was wrong. About the package manager entry
under /etc/apt/sources.list.d, the document mentioned below states:
"# Bacula Community
deb https://www.bacula.org/packages/@access-key@/debs/@bacula-version@
@debian-version@ main"
But a working entry should be (for amd64 architecture):
https://www.bacula.org/packages/@access-key@/debs/@bacula-version@/@debian-version@/amd64
@debian-version@ main
Best regards,
Peter

Hi,
There’s a specific documentation for rpm and deb Bacula installation.

Hope it helps

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
