Table of Contents

Overview

This module install and configures Bacula-Web, a web based reporting and monitoring tool for Bacula.

Requirements

  • Bacula-Web 8.6.0 or later (due to breaking changes in this release)
  • A webservice like Apache or Nginx, puppetlabs/apache is recommended.
  • A supported version of PHP (PHP-FPM is strongly recommended), puppet/php is recommended.

Beginning with baculaweb

All parameters for the baculaweb module are contained within the main baculaweb class, so for any function of the module, set the options you want. All configuration parameters can be assigned hiera. The default values are also lookuped up by hiera. See the common usages below for examples.

Usage

Install and enable baculaweb

include baculaweb

Default User and Password for fresh installs

After installation the default user is admin and the default password is password. You should change this after installation.

See: https://docs.bacula-web.org/en/latest/02_install/finalize.html#reset-user-password

The default application.db is only deployed once. Data is persisted between upgrades in baculaweb::data_dir.

Configure bacula catalog databases

To get baculaweb up and running configure at least one bacula catalog database with the paramter catalog_db.

See the following example for the different catalog database types:

class { 'baculaweb':
  catalog_db => [
    {
      'label'    => 'EXAMPLE: MySQL backup catalog',
      'host'     => 'localhost',
      'login'    => 'bacula',
      'password' => 'verystrongpassword',
      'db_name'  => 'bacula',
      'db_type'  => 'mysql',
      'db_port'  => 3306,
    },
    {
      'label'    => 'EXAMPLE: PostgreSQL backup catalog',
      'host'     => 'localhost',
      'login'    => 'bacula',
      'password' => 'verystrongpassword',
      'db_name'  => 'bacula',
      'db_type'  => 'mysql',
      'db_port'  => 3306,
    },
    {
      'label'   => 'EXAMPLE: SQLite backup catalog',
      'db_name' => '/path/to/database',
      'db_type' => 'sqlite',
    },
  ]
}

Using Hiera:

baculaweb::catalog_db:
  - label: 'EXAMPLE: MySQL backup catalog'
    host: 'localhost'
    login: 'bacula'
    password: 'verystrongpassword'
    db_name: 'bacula'
    db_type: 'mysql'
    db_port: 3306
  - label: 'EXAMPLE: PostgreSQL backup catalog'
    host: 'localhost'
    login: 'bacula'
    password: 'verystrongpassword'
    db_name: 'bacula'
    db_type: 'pgsql'
    db_port: 5432
  - label: 'EXAMPLE: SQLite backup catalog'
    db_name: '/path/to/database'
    db_type: 'sqlite'

Configure custom installation options

Configure custom directories, ownerships and version:

class { 'baculaweb':
  version           => '8.6.3'
  root_dir          => '/var/www/html/bacula-web',
  extract_base_dir  => '/opt/bacula-web',
  user              => 'apache',
  group             => 'apache'
}

Using Hiera:

baculaweb:
  version: '8.6.3'
  root_dir: '/var/www/html/bacula-web'
  extract_base_dir: '/opt/bacula-web'
  user: 'apache'
  group: 'apache'

Configure baculaweb

You find an overview of the baculaweb settings here: http://docs.bacula-web.org/en/latest/02_install/configure.html

See the following example to configure the settings:

class { 'baculaweb':
  language              => 'en_US',
  hide_empty_pools      => true,
  show_inactive_clients => true,
  datetime_format       => 'Y-m-d H:i:s',
  enable_users_auth     => false,
  debug                 => false,
  catalog_db            => [
    {
      'label'    => 'MySQL backup catalog',
      'host'     => 'localhost',
      'login'    => 'bacula',
      'password' => 'verystrongpassword',
      'db_name'  => 'bacula',
      'db_type'  => 'mysql',
      'db_port'  => 3306,
    },
  ]
}

Using Hiera:

baculaweb:
  language: 'en_US'
  hide_empty_pools: true
  show_inactive_clients: true
  datetime_format: 'Y-m-d H:i:s'
  enable_users_auth: false
  debug: false
  catalog_db:
    - label: 'MySQL backup catalog'
      host: 'localhost'
      login: 'bacula'
      password: 'verystrongpassword'
      db_name: 'bacula'
      db_type: 'mysql'
      db_port: 3306
