hi,

Ok I am confused.   The way I read it,

- for File Daemons bacularis-api-fd,
 - for Storage Daemons bacularis-api-sd,
 - for Directors bacularis-api-dir.

All have the particular bacula daemon built in?    I dont need a daemon, I already have all the daemons running and have been for 6 odd years now.     What I was hoping for was to have a web interface on top of Bacula. The docker container is running on the bacula director so it is local  stuff. So I have to remove  the bacula-director and add in the  bacularis-api-dir instead?

If I need to do serious alterations to the running setup, that is a step to far for me.


regards

Steven

Hello Steven,

Thanks for your question and feedback after installing the bacularis-web container. I will try to explain it below.

For your question if the Bacularis Web wizard wants a Bacularis API - yes Bacularis Web in this container connects to external Bacularis API. Description and purpose of each of these container images you can find in the "About this image" section in each of the Bacularis Docker Hub repositories. This description for the 'bacularis-web' container is the following:

====
It contains a pure the Bacularis web interface without API layer. It can be used to connect external Bacularis API server(s) in containers or outside them. If you would like to connect Bacularis API ran in containers, you can use dedicated for this purpose images:

 - for File Daemons bacularis-api-fd,
 - for Storage Daemons bacularis-api-sd,
 - for Directors bacularis-api-dir.
====

The Bacularis Web to work needs at least one API host with bconsole and catalog access (and Bacula configuration capability if needed). So you can set up the Bacularis API in any way (installing binary packages, container, Composer, tar archives) and then connect it using the wizard from the bacularis-web container.

Worth mentioning is that for the Bacula configuration part Bacularis API needs access to Bacula config files so easier is to work with Bacularis API instances outside the container. Otherwise you need to bind the Bacula configuration paths to Bacularis API container or use Bacula config files from Bacula in container.

Your question also indicated me that this first step section needs to be better explained in the documentation. I will try to prepare it soon.

Thanks!

Best regards,

    Hi,

    Seeing the release I thought I would give bacularis a go.    I
    have the
    bacularis-web docker container running but I cant see any
    documentation
    telling me how to connect it to my existing bacula setup.

    The wizard wants a baculum API?  but this isnt explained.

    Is there any set by set explanation of how to connect the
    bacularis-web
    docker container to an existing bacula setup ?


    TY
