Hello Philippe,
every method has disadvantages, so why not give it a try? ;-) ... one
dis of this method is, that the client constantly keeps a connection to
the director open. If this connection dies for some reason, it has to be
reestablished. But this should happen automatically. I use this setup
internally for > 20 clients, which cannot be contacted by the director
directly, and all works as expected.
Of course, you also can change the client port in bareos-fd, but as
mentioned before, you also have to notify systemd to check another port
after starting the daemon. Missing this, systemd will always throw an
error. Also you will have to change firewall rules or NAT settings
involved in your setup. In my opinion this is much more complicated than
simply using client initiated connections.
Bye,
Andreas

Thanks Andreas,
I had not seen this option in the documentation before, but it is wirtten in
the doc that this method has disadvantages.
I do not understand why we cannot change the port since it's a paramameter in
the confid. Is-it hard coded somewhere in the source? For a special reason?

Hello,
I wouldn't change the port, but recommend to use client initiated
connections. So both clients behind the firewall would be able to
connect to the bareos director.

Hello everybody,
All my hosts run on Debian 9.
I have 2 clients behind a firewall.
I setup the first in passive mode and default port 9102, it is ok.
I setup the second with port 9104 but it does not work.
My client : /etc/bareos/bareos-fd.d/client/myself.conf :
Client {
Name = es2-fd
# FD Address = 9104
FD Port = 9104
}
I change also : /etc/init.d/bareos
...
NETWORK_PORT=9104
...
But I do not succeed to start the service : service bareos-fd start ->
Job for bareos-filedaemon.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
and journalctl ->
bareos-filedaemon.service: PID file /var/lib/bareos/bareos-fd.9102.pid not
readable (yet?) after start: No such file or directory
It seems that the port 9102 is still used for my second client... where is-it
configured?
Thanks in advance.
