Baculum (bacula-gui) is the official web graphic interface of the Bacula project (bacula.org). Version 9 contains a configuration module that allows the backup administrator to change Bacula backup settings without editing text files. Baculum also brings a new API that eases the integration with other software, interface, and consoles.

1. Installation

Baculum 9 works with other versions of Bacula, but only Bacula 9 has the json binaries – necessary for Bacula’s graphical configuration.

To install Bacula 9 from the source code, go to <http://bacula.us/compilation>.

Once you have a working Bacula deploy it is time to install Baculum API and interface, as follows.

2. Debian/Ubuntu

wget -qO - http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/baculum.pub | apt-key add -

echo "
deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/ubuntu xenial main
" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/baculum.list

apt-get update && apt-get install php-bcmath php7.0-mbstring baculum-api baculum-api-apache2 baculum-common bacula-console baculum-web baculum-web-apache2 

echo "Defaults:apache "'!'"requiretty
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bconsole
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bdirjson
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bsdjson
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bfdjson
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bbconsjson
" > /etc/sudoers.d/baculum

chown www-data /opt/bacula/etc
a2enmod rewrite
a2ensite baculum-web baculum-api
service apache2 restart

# Use the Internet browser to access and configure Baculum API http://localhost:9096/ and then Baculum http://localhost:9095/
# (replace localhost for the actual IP address if necessary)

3. Centos/RedHat

rpm --import http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/baculum.pub

echo "
[baculumrepo]
name=Baculum CentOS repository
baseurl=http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/centos
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

[baculumrepo]
name=Baculum Fedora repository
baseurl=http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/fedora
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d/baculum.repo

yum install -y baculum-common baculum-api baculum-api-httpd baculum-web baculum-web-httpd

echo "Defaults:apache "'!'"requiretty
apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bconsole
apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bdirjson
apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bsdjson
apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bfdjson
apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bbconsjson" > /etc/sudoers.d/baculum

chown -R apache /opt/bacula/etc

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=9095-9096/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

service httpd restart

# Use the Internet browser to access and configure Baculum API http://localhost:9096/ and then Baculum http://localhost:9095/
# (replace localhost for the actual IP address if necessary)




4. Configuration

First configure the API through the http://localhost:9096/ URL (admin, admin). You can test each of the settings you have made. An API access credential (user and password or oauth) will be defined, according to the following screens.

Then, access the Baculum interface (http://localhost:9095/ – admin, admin) and also configure the language, access to the Bacula database, the Baculum API and Baculum Interface credential, as follows:

Baculum 9 - Graphical Bacula Configuration, Administration and API 5 Baculum 9 - Graphical Bacula Configuration, Administration and API 6 Baculum 9 - Graphical Bacula Configuration, Administration and API 7 Baculum 9 - Graphical Bacula Configuration, Administration and API 8
