I have been watching some youtube videos of bacula setup and I see mention to setting up the listening ports and IP addresses. When I go look at the bareos director config file in /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/director I see a much different format and no mention of ports of ip addresses. I think I installed version 16.2.
Bareos and Bacula are diverging, you may be better served looking at Bareos resources.
1. Is there a guideline somewhere to show me what are the minimum and suggested settings such as setting up to listen on ip address other than localhost.
Yup, the docs have a section on it: http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#x1-38000028
2. Is there a way to check the config for each component I.E. director, storage, client, etc. I would like to spend the time to get the config perfect so it works either the first time or close to it.
My experience is that building a simple configuration and get it working is best, and then add things to it. Don't try to do everything you want to accomplish in one leap. Start with a simple backup that is all on one host (Director, Storage Daemon, and File Daemon) and doing backups to disk. Then grow from there.
3. Is there something someplace that has a step by step installation guide for red hat that yields a working config. I have found the Bareos doc itself to lack important details I.E. it does not mention that postgres packages are a required install before you can install bareos postgres component. I assumed bareos installed its own version of postgres separate from generic red hat posts install - wrong.
The documentation is your best source for this. It isn't RedHat specific, but frankly there aren't too many things about Bareos that are OS dependent. (Excepting Windows of course.) I use FreeBSD and I found that the only OS specific parts I had to deal with were some tape drive settings.
