Hi there,
the infinite loop is not really a problem. it works. the same happened
with the debian-version of 3.x
But
the package does not install all required stuff:
the following was missing and needed to be installed after installation
on debian 11:
- smbclient
- samba-common-bin
only after i installed this, the backuppc-service was able to start.
you should also install
certbot python3-certbot-apache
and create lets encrypt certs, so that backuppc is running on https..
after that you need to set the following in the file:
/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/backuppc.conf
Alias /backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/
<Directory /usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin/>
AllowOverride None
# Uncomment the line below to ensure that nobody can sniff
important
# info from network traffic during editing of the BackupPC
config or
# when browsing/restoring backups.
# Requires that you have your webserver set up for SSL (https)
access.
SSLRequireSSL
Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AuthUserFile /etc/backuppc/htpasswd
AuthType basic
AuthName "BackupPC admin"
<RequireAll>
# Comment out this line once you have setup HTTPS and
uncommented SSLRequireSSL
#Require local
# This line ensures that only authenticated users may
access your backups
Require valid-user
</RequireAll>
</Directory>
you see i removed the # in front of SSLRequireSSL
and put a # in front of Require local
Have fun!
Greetings
Marcel
