Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC v4 for Fedora / EPEL Update

[Bob Katz]

Thanks, Richard. I just bit the bullet and did a new install of Fedora 25, 
copied my scripts over, configured the machine, cloned it, tested the clone, 
and upgraded to 26!

Now I'm working on installing backup pc


Thanks for your fantastic help, 

Bob

You'll have to do your best with dnf and see if you can get them to
uninstall... Something like (as root):

 # dnf erase 3dm2 3ware-status

If it balks at that you can add "--allow-erasing" to see if it can come up
with a complete transaction.

Dear Richard. You are a godsend! Of course I'd like to upgrade to Fedora 
26 as it would simplify how much I have to maintain.

This is basically because the 3ware packages are apparently *very

Ahh, so no, if you're running Fedora 26 then you don't need the COPR at
all. I am maintaining 4.X on F26 and up (for now that just means Rawhide
too, but that will be branched for Fedora 27 in the near future).

This is basically because the 3ware packages are apparently *very poorly*

If you want to run Fedora 25 then yes, you'll need to enable my COPR per
the dnf instructions on the right hand side.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC v4 for Fedora / EPEL Update

[Bob Katz]

Hi, guys. Still working towards install of Backuppc on my Fedora. I 
apologize that I got Fedora and Redhat mixed up. I definitely am using 
Fedora!


At the end of the day today I somehow got it in my head that the 
COPR/EPEL installers required Fedora 26. It's all new to me so please 
excuse.


But I got this conflict during the upgrade process, which did not complete:

[SKIPPED] js-jquery-3.2.1-1.fc26.noarch.rpm: Already downloaded
Running transaction check
Transaction check succeeded.
Running transaction test
The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful 
transaction.

You can remove cached packages by executing 'dnf clean packages'.

Those conflicts are with the 3ware 3dm2 software and the 3ware status, 
which aren't working anyway. I couldn't get them to work. Those are the

all the standard and nonstandard methods for removing those packages and 
could not remove them. Any ideas how to remove these packages?  So I'm

All right, back to Fedora 25 and backuppc  :-)

 I have added a conditional that will be a part of the next build. I'll let

You should no longer need to modify rsync or anything so definitely remote
that. The package will make sure the needed perl modules are installed. If
you installed them via CPAN then you should probably attempt to uninstall
them, if you just installed packages via yum then it doesn't matter.

Ok, the "Redhat" statement bit me again, it makes me think of RHEL since
Fedora != Redhat. Fedora has been on systemd for some time so that is taken
care of by the package.

Does the EPEL and COPR installer for backuppc recognize that
backuppc has already been installed and overwrite it? I don't mind
overwriting. I just want to know if the installer covers existing
installs. I've already  installed the modified rsync, all the Perl

Yes, probably best to wipe anything you've done manually. The readme 
in the package has basic instructions on what you'll need to do after 
package install.


I'm not sure if you mentioned what version you are running but the 
package should install a SysV init script on EL 6 and the Systemd 
service file on EL 7.




I'm not running EL yet at all, not fully understanding your syntax

I could create a new package but that would require a package review and
even after all the work I've done cleaning up the package after taking over
maintenance on it I'm doubtful it would pass the current packaging
guidelines.

In either case the end user would be required to enable the Fedora EPEL
repository, it's not much more of a hurdle to install my COPR for it.
Additionally an update sits in updates-testing for two weeks before it can
be pushed to stable which means there would be a significant delay between
a new release and the end user getting it. Maybe after development
stabilizes a bit more it may be worth going through the effort.

Thanks,
Richard

I'm not sure if you mentioned what version you are running but the package
should install a SysV init script on EL 6 and the Systemd service file on
EL 7.

Does the EPEL and COPR installer for backuppc recognize that backuppc 
has already been installed and overwrite it? I don't mind overwriting. I 
just want to know if the installer covers existing installs. I've 
already  installed the modified rsync, all the Perl dependencies, etc. 
I've run the Perl install script as well, following along with


http://sgowtham.com/journal/backuppc-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux/

It seems most of the stuff is there, though I haven't launched the app 
yet. Maybe I'm just missing the inet.d script and who knows what else. 
But installing from a complete Fedora or Redhat repository instead would 
be much better of course. Should I wipe any stuff from my installation 
before venturing into a whole new install using EPEL and COPR approach?


Thanks,


Bob

Can't you name the package backuppc4 so they can have overlapping life
spans and updates?   Seems safer than putting a same-named package in
a different repo where a future update will probably accidentally pull
in some other same-named package and clobber the one you wanted to
keep.

Because there's not really an automated upgrade path with the extensiveness
of the changes there's really not a good way to do it. I don't want to
break anyone's running system.

I hate to wait for EL 8 but not sure what the options are. With the long

That's where the actual packages are stored, you need to start with

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/

I'm presented with a plethora of possible downloads and I'm completely 
lost, I don't know what to download.



Thanks for any help,



Bob Katz

Hi, and thanks for your packages.
Unfortunatly, it cannot be installed on EL6 as there's no par2cmdline 
for this version. As this is an optional feature, could you relaxe it 
? (or enclose in Requires in a conditional > el6)

It's apache, the previous maintainer defaulted the access to local machine
only... I may change that but I'd need to know how to do it in a generic
way since I have no idea what kind of subnet you're on. In my case at home
I use 192.168.0.0/24 so I had to modify /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf
from:


  # Apache 2.4
  
Require valid-user

  Require local

  


to:


  # Apache 2.4
  
Require valid-user

  Require local
  Require ip 192.168.0< HERE

  


Which would allow any computer on my subnet to access the server. After
that a "systemctl restart httpd" should work.

Thanks,
Richard

Thank you for that clarity, Richard. 

The slight differences is how a user does this or that between the two
distros (CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu) elude me at times. For give my
ignorance, I have not used CentOS much over the years. 

The "systemctl status" for both "backuppc" and "httpd" show them both
"active (running)" but "http://ipaddress/BackupPC/; still yields "Unable
to Connect" on the webpage. 

Checked "firewalld" and added http access. 

Now, "http://ipaddress/BackupPC/; yields "Forbidden You don't have
permission to access /BackupPC/ on this server." 

Following the README.fedora I set backuppc user for web access but I am
guessing this, once again, is the different between the two distros and
I do not remember what to do? Is it permission issues between BackupPC
and Apache? Or is it user permissions? 

Any thoughts?

No, you don't need to worry about configure.pl when you're doing a package
based install, it's already taken care of...

RPM based installations are never interactive like deb packages. I may
rename it but if you look in /usr/share/doc/BackupPC-4.1.0/README.fedora it
shows you how to setup the password access for apache.

It's assumed that if you're setting up a serious backup server that you
know the basics of setting up and starting services for your distro. The
short version is:

(as root after the above is complete)
# systemctl enable backuppc
# systemctl start backuppc

As the first attempt failed, the second went just fine. 

EPEL repo installed. 

Grabbed COPR and placed into /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. 

Ran "yum update" and then "yum install backuppc" 

Just not sure what to do the start BackupPC running. The mentioned
"configure.pl" do not retrieve anything, links to a foreign (to me)
language page. 

I envisioned install and then go to http://ipaddress/BackupPC_Admin but,
during installation I was never asked to create a web access password. 

"Systemctl status backuppc" reports: 

systemctl status backuppc
● backuppc.service - BackupPC server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/backuppc.service; disabled;
vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead) 

What's next?

I didn't think so myself but this suggests that you can:
 https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/installing-rhel-epel-repo-on-centos-redhat-7-x/

Their method #2 should work in any case, and I think the version of
yum in RHEL/Centos 6 and up will handle URL's directly so you could
shorten that to:

yum install 
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Les, I am very much a novice when it cons to CentOS but I tried to
install the "EPEL-release" and yum said there was nothing to do (or
something along that line.) I took it that EPEL repo was already
available. (VM at home, I'm at work.)

Isn't it all the same?   EPEL is semi-official for Centos in that that
 you can install EPEL by running
yum --enablerepo=extras install epel-release.That is, the release
package that installs the EPEL repo is available in the Centos extras
repo which is part of the distribution.

Just a note. I had checked that I had enabled EPEL but, that would have
been the CentOS EPEL. 

More tonight.

Oops, I need to add to the instruction, you'll definitely need to have the
Fedora EPEL repo installed as well...

I could add it as a dependency but I don't like automatically installing
repos...

Thanks for this. 

First, I will admit to being a little "green" to the manner CentOS does
a few things so, I'm about to ask newbie question. 

I have fetched and located your COPR into /etc/yum.repos.d/ as
instructed. 

Ran:  # yum install BackupPC 

And get this near the end (of all the dependencies list): 

---> Package mesa-libgbm.x86_64 0:11.2.2-2.20160614.el7 will be
installed
---> Package mesa-libglapi.x86_64 0:11.2.2-2.20160614.el7 will be
installed
--> Finished Dependency Resolution

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest 

I also searched: 

yum search perl-Time-modules 

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror 

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile 

* base: mirror.steadfast.net 

* extras: mirrors.cmich.edu 

* updates: mirrors.rit.edu 

Warning: No matches found for: perl-Time-modules 

No matches found 

So, I tried adding "--skip-broken" . . . . (this is new to me.) 

And the install "Skipped (dependency problems)" that included
BackupPC.X86_64 0:4.1.0-1.el7.centos BackupPC-XS.x86_64
0:0.53-1.el7.centos rsync-bpc.x86_64 0:3.0.9.6-1.el7.centos and 49 other
packages. 

Ran: "You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest" 

Still no love! 

I will be away from my VM machine for the day and will not be available
to try again until this evening (it's early morning here, now.) 

I have been using linux since 2002. I'm a Debian/Ubuntu guy. Sorry, I am
not that familiar with some of the CentOS rudimentary things a typical
Cent user might already know. 

What to do?

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC v4 for Fedora / EPEL Update

[Richard Shaw]

Alright guys, I went ahead and created a COPR for BackupPC...

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/BackupPC/

You just have to go in and download the repository file and copy to
/etc/yum.repos.d/

It uses the same name so a simple "yum update" should pick it up...

It SHOULD save the new config.pl to config.pl.rpmnew

I recommend doing a diff -Nau config.pl config.pl.rpmnew and saving the
chunks you need and reapply them to the new config.pl... If you had
customized rsync commands you may need to re setup them up.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Thanks,
Richard

Unfortunately I’m not in that position or I would LOVE to. As of yet we don’t 
have cloud backup.

Can’t wait to update 3.3.1 to 4.1. I plan to move my 3.x data directory aside 
and start it from scratch on 4.x. I’ll trash the old stuff in a month or so.

➢ may eat babies, etc) then I can share it privately.

I've got a test package running on my little Centos 7 box and it seems to
be running really well. I'm doing some final tweaks to the packaging,
trying to be really careful. If you're interested in a testing package (it
may eat babies, etc) then I can share it privately.

Thanks,
Richard

[Moorcroft, Mark (ARC-TS)[Analytical Mechanics Associates, INC.]]

Now that 4.1 is out is there an updated idea when the EPEL package hits for 
el7? I’m itching to see how much better my performance is running parallel over 
our 10G connection, and what saturates first. The net or the CPU.
