I've just released version 1.3 of the Bacuview web application to
its home on RubyForge, <http://bacuview.rubyforge.org/>, where you can
go for screen shots and to read the NEWS, ChangeLog, and INSTALL
files.
In addition to the usual minor bug fixes, this release has one fairly
major improvement: It now supports Bacula installations that use MySQL
as their database engine.
All that's needed to support a MySQL database is to set the adapter to
mysql in the config/database.yml file. Bacuview picks this up and
performs behind-the-scenes magic to deal with the naming differences
between Postgres and MySQL databases.
I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have, and to hear of any
suggestions that you have for this project. I hope that you find it
useful.
Thank you for this. I installed it yesterday from scratch. Here are
some suggestions for the INSTALL page.
RUBY
----
In this section you should also describe installation of IRB. I don't
know if this gets installed as part of building ruby from source, but in
Fedora Core 4 it is a separate rpm package and you need
"yum install irb".
I don't know if it was necessary, but I also installed the rpms for
ruby-devel and ruby-mysql.
GEM INSTALL
-----------
For mysql users you can skip the "gem install postgres" and instead do
"gem install mysql". If that fails (it did for me) you can try
"gem install mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/lib/mysql/mysql_config" or
something similar. Frankly, I tried so many things that I'm not sure
what finally worked.
Is there any chance this program could be extended to allow file
searches within the database? I'd love to be able to enter a partial
name of a file and get back a list of all occurrences of that name along
with the file dates and the jobs that contain it. Then I could go to
bconsole and jump right to the correct job for restoration.
Ultimately, could it be a complete front end for file restoration?
Thanks again,
Mark Nienberg
