I believe that bacula beta version 15.x has changes to baculum in the
release notes. So no, baculum isn't dead, per se. Being found in the bacula
community repositories, baculum seems be the official bacula community web
interface.

Bacularis is a friendly fork from a baculum developer, Marcin. (Maybe
Marcin is the only baculum developer? I don't know.) Bacularis aims to make
bacula itself more accessible and easier to manage, in addition to various
small changes to the UI. Marcin is active on this list, and I've seen him
commit patches for various bacularis issues very quickly. So I'd argue that
bacularis is better supported in the community, but they do share a common
code base and various features or changes made do make their way between
both projects, in both directions.

So to answer your question, as far as I know, Baculum isn't dead, and
Bacularis isn't the official bacula project UI.

I think Bacularis offers more ways to use bacula than baculum does. There
are Bacularis docker containers, extensive installation and setup
instructions. When I go to the baculum site, I don't see anywhere near as
much information on the same subjects. The bacularis Docker containers also
offer various bacula components, something that isn't done with baculum. I
think one of the goals of bacularis is to enable modularizing management of
various bacula components and instances with docker containers. This isn't
the only goal, but it is one thing Marcin appears to have put effort into.

Please understand that with bacularis you can certainly install it directly
on your server from a repository. It is not necessary to have it bundled
with bacula, or to use it in a docker container.

Compare https://baculum.app/ and https://bacularis.app/ and you'll see how
the bacularis site has way more information. I'm sure Marcin could shed
more light on the historical reasons why Bacularis exists in a world where
baculum also exists.
