Hi all,
BackupPC install via EPEL
# rpm -qa | grep -i backup
BackupPC-4.4.0-1.el8.x86_64
BackupPC-XS-0.62-1.el8.x86_64
Also, dnf info backuppc does suggest looking at README.setup found under
/usr/share/doc/BackupPC/
Using su -s /bin/bash -l backuppc I can generate ssh keys and set up
passwordless logins to clients.
Still the wrong ownership of /var/lib/BackupPC is an issue with the install
packages.
Fixed with chown -R backuppc.root /var/lib/BackupPC , problem with that is
SELINUX, you will have problems with SELINUX and have to do some selinux stuff
for everything to work properly, and yes SELINUX should always be enabled.
For me the following worked.
# /sbin/restorecon -R -v /var/lib/BackupPC
# cat my-BackupPCAdmin.te
module my-BackupPCAdmin 1.0;
require {
type httpd_t;
type unlabeled_t;
class file { getattr read write };
class dir read;
}
#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:dir read;
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:file { getattr read write };
# semodule -X 300 -i my-BackupPCAdmin.pp
Will look into
https://kifarunix.com/how-to-install-and-configure-backuppc-as-a-backup-server-on-ubuntu-18-04/#backuplinuxwithbackuppc
for configuring clients with rsync
Með kveðju / Best regards,

Have a look at technical.network , there is a guide there that mainly uses
backuppc user (not root) to backup clients via rsync.

Hello!
Something's fishy there, I followed the same guide recently (although for
Ubuntu) and for me /var/lib/backuppc is owned by backuppc.
Looking at the Backuppc-Ubuntu guide there is a step adding a backuppc user
and setting a homedir as /var/lib/backuppc.
https://kifarunix.com/install-and-setup-backuppc-server-on-ubuntu-20-04/
Maybe the guide for CentOS needs to be tweaked a bit?
Otherwise, why not just chown the folder to the right permissions?
