Hello Everybody, Thanks Rob for this description about Baculum and Bacularis and for kind words :-)
All it is true. Bacularis is dynamically developing and provides more functions. It also has changed internal application architecture that is targeted to easier use without losing all advantages API and Web layers. For the Docker containers, yes, we provide them. It is not the easiest way of using Bacularis because in typical Bacularis (with enabled Bacula configuration capability) is required access to Bacula configuration files. It means that it is difficult to prepare separate containers for Bacula and Bacularis. Nevertheless, I think that people well familiar with Docker can manage it by preparing some mounts for common parts. I also observe projects in Docker Hub led by the community users that provide Bacularis in a separate container. For the Baculum and Bacularis history that Rob asked, we have a History chapter in the documentation. For people interested in, it is here: https://bacularis.app/doc/licenses/history.html Best regards, Marcin Haba (gani) On Fri, 31 May 2024 at 18:55, Rob Gerber <r...@craeon.net> wrote: > I believe that bacula beta version 15.x has changes to baculum in the > release notes.
