I'm running Debian 13 (Trixie) on an AMD64 system.
I've been struggling to get bconsole to connect to the storage-director.
After initially trying to set up a reverse lookup for the server name, I
took the easy way out and replaced the name with the IP address in the
autochanger section of bacular-dir.conf. That didn't help.
The reason I was doing all this is immediately above the Address - line
in that section, it specifically says "Do not use "localhost" here".
Furthermore, the line itself says "N.B. Use a fully qualified name here".
However, it appears that localhost, or more specifically 127.0,0.1, is
the only address that works.
From what I've been reading, if you do follow the "N.B.", you need to
ensure that there is a working reverse DNS lookup for it in order to
work. However that need should be removed by using an IP address
instead. But if you are running the bacula director on the same device
as the storage director, it appears that you must use the Localhost IP
(127.0.0.1).
Can someone please revise the comments to be more reflective of a
typical situation?
