You do not need to install anything else because you have everything that is needed. The Deployment => Hosts does not detect your installed Bacula components because to detect it, the Software Management feature needs to be enabled. This is one of the API capabilities that enable Bacularis to install Bacula components. If you installed Bacularis in a typical way by going through the install wizard and by adding Bacularis to existing Bacula installation, then the Software Management API feature is disabled by default. And this is probably the reason why your Bacula components are not detected on the Deployment page. To enable the Software Management, you can do it in the API panel in: [Main menu] => [Page: Settings] => [Tab: Software management] and there you can configure it. But in your case this is not needed at all because, as you wrote, you already have the local API host and this is sufficient. > (and why I got here: the restore test job also fails, because it seems > not to be able to correctly contact the API host) For the Ransomware Detection, the one important thing to check is if the IP address in API host configuration and Address in client configuration (used for Restore Destination) are the same. Otherwise you can experience the problem with not valid API host in the Restore Verification. To check the IP address please go in the web interface to: [Main menu] => [Page: Security] => [Tab: API hosts] => [Table: Row with 'Main' host] => [Button: Edit] => [Field: IP Address/Hostname] and [Main menu] => [Page: Clients] => [Tab: Clients] => [Table: Row with your local client] => [Button: Edit] => [Field: Address] Please check if these two fields contain the same value: [Field: IP Address/Hostname] is equal [Field: Address] If for example in one field you have 'localhost' and in another '127.0.0.1' please unify them to the same value. After that the Ransomware Detection should start working. Please let us know about the results. Good luck.
