+----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD +----------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: If upgrading from a version older than 7.2.0, a database upgrade is necessary (see the ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/bacula/update_* scripts). Also, the Director and Storage Daemons must be upgraded at the same time, but older File Daemons can be used with 7.2.x. The official Bacula documentation can be found at: http://blog.bacula.org/documentation/documentation/ Setting up the database for the Bacula Director =============================================== In this documentation, it is assumed the PostgreSQL administrator user is 'postgres' and the MariaDB one is 'root'; adapt accordingly to your setup. Replace 'dbpassword' with the bacula DB user password (configured in ${SYSCONFDIR}/bacula-dir.conf). While SQLite3 may be of interest for quickly testing a setup, it is not advised to use it in production but rather go for a full RDBMS like PostgreSQL or MariaDB. PostgreSQL ---------- Assuming you have an administrative account named `postgres', you can create the 'bacula' user like this: $ createuser -U postgres --pwprompt --no-superuser \ --createdb --no-createrole bacula Creating the database and tables: $ cd ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/bacula $ ./create_postgresql_database -U bacula $ ./make_postgresql_tables postgresql -U bacula $ ./grant_postgresql_privileges -U bacula Upgrading the schema following a Bacula version upgrade: $ cd ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/bacula $ ./update_postgresql_tables -U bacula MariaDB ------- Creating the DB, table and bacula user. $ cd ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/bacula $ ./create_mysql_database -u root -p $ ./make_mysql_tables -u root -p $ ./grant_mysql_privileges -u root -p Setting up the bacula DB user password. $ mysql -u root -p bacula MariaDB [bacula]> SET PASSWORD FOR 'bacula'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('dbpassword'); MariaDB [bacula]> QUIT Upgrading the schema following a Bacula version upgrade: $ cd ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/bacula $ ./update_mysql_tables -U bacula SQLite3 ------- Creating the DB and tables (default to ${LOCALSTATEDIR}/bacula.db). # cd ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/bacula # su -m _bacula -c ./make_sqlite3_tables Upgrading the schema following a Bacula version upgrade: # cd ${TRUEPREFIX}/libexec/bacula # su -m _bacula -c ./update_sqlite3_tables Device permissions ================== The storage daemon needs access to its storage device(s): * when backup is stored on disk, the mount points must be accessible in rw mode by the "_bacula-sd" user (and/or the "_bacula" group). * when backup is stored on tape, the corresponding device node(s) must be accessible in rw mode by the "_bacula-sd" user (and/or the "_bacula" group); alternatively the "_bacula-sd" user can be added to the "operator" group instead. e.g. for an autochanger, add the following lines in rc.conf.local(8) chgrp _bacula /dev/ch0 chgrp _bacula /dev/nrst0
