Thank you for this thread rich in all sorts of important details.

You can go here, to the bacula community website under rpm/ Deb / osx
downloads. https://www.bacula.org/bacula-binary-package-download/
Heads up that the email sent to you on registering might not send. If so
directly after entering your email address and name, a page will load and in
the middle of that page will be a link saying the click 'here'. That link
contains the path component you want.
I recommend saving a copy of that page because the information isn't available
to return to readily without re-registering. I also recommend saving a copy of
your community license key.
If installing under RHEL 9 / RL 9 / AL 9 etc be aware that the bacula community
distribution (version 13.x, at least) hashes its files with sha1, and that hash
algorithm has been deprecated for security reasons. You'll need to re-enable it
if you get error messages related to this.
If you want a GUI to manage bacula (probably do), you'll probably want
bacularis over baculum. Bacularis is a friendly fork of baculum. Dev Marcin is
on this list. :)
Bacula-web is also available maintained by Davide, also on this list.
bacula-web only provides reporting functionality, not management.
I recommend you follow your current course of action and continue seeking
packages from the official repository, as opposed to outdated packages from the
OS repositories. Be careful not to mix and match packages from the OS
repositories with packages from the official repos. I blacklisted bacula
packages on the OS repos for this reason.
Bacula-dir, bacula-sd must be the same version. Traditionally, bacula-fd did
not have to be same version, could be version <= bacula-dir/bacula-sd. However,
I have seen reports that this backwards compatibility for FD is partially
broken now in bacula 13.x. so an FD for 9.x might still work with bacula-dir
13.x but maybe error reporting doesn't work right, which is dangerous. So I
recommend you ensure your FD are same version or at least same major version.
At no point can your FD be a greater version than bacula-dir/bacula-sd. Always
<=.

Hi
I am installing Bacula Community for the first time in a Fedora environment.
According to the white paper Bacula Community Installation Guide, section "6.2
yum Package Manager Configuration", I should configure the repository using
the, and I quote, "path component sent in the registration email". Which
registration is this ? Where can I register ? Searching the bacula.org website,
I can't find anything to register for.
Best to all,Eduardo_______________________________________________
