======== PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite databases

Bacula director supports different databases backends, if you want to switch
away from the default PostgreSQL one you need to change the "libbaccats" (the
catalogue library) symlink to the real library. The following examples use
version 5.2.4, substitute it with the version you have installed.

Show the current database backend:

# alternatives --display libbaccats-5.2.4.so
libbaccats-5.2.4.so - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.4.so
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.4.so - priority 50
 slave libbaccats.so: /usr/lib64/libbaccats-5.2.4.so
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3-5.2.4.so - priority 40
 slave libbaccats.so: /usr/lib64/libbaccats-5.2.4.so
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.4.so - priority 60
 slave libbaccats.so: /usr/lib64/libbaccats-5.2.4.so
Current `best' version is /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.4.so.

To change to a different backend (i.e. MySQL), issue the following command:

# update-alternatives --set libbaccats-5.2.4.so /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.4.so

======== Quick installation guide with the default PostgreSQL backend

Perform the following commands to install Bacula with its default configuration
and all daemons and consoles in one server.

1) Install packages

# yum -y install postgresql-server bacula-director bacula-storage \
	bacula-client bacula-console bacula-console-bat

2) Create database

# postgresql-setup initdb
# systemctl enable postgresql.service
# systemctl start postgresql.service
# su - postgres
$ cd /usr/libexec/bacula
$ ./create_bacula_database
$ ./make_bacula_tables
$ ./grant_bacula_privileges

3) Change passwords in /etc/bacula/*conf with something you like. The default
   configuration prevents startup if there is any "filler" password in the
   configuration files.

# sed -i -e 's/@@DIR_PASSWORD@@/dir-Fedora/g' \
        -e 's/@@FD_PASSWORD@@/fd-Fedora/g' \
        -e 's/@@SD_PASSWORD@@/sd-Fedora/g' \
        -e 's/@@MON_DIR_PASSWORD@@/mon-dir-Fedora/g' \
        -e 's/@@MON_FD_PASSWORD@@/mon-fd-Fedora/g' \
        -e 's/@@MON_SD_PASSWORD@@/mon-sd-Fedora/g' \
        /etc/bacula/*conf

4) Enable daemons and check they are working

# systemctl enable bacula-dir.service
# systemctl enable bacula-sd.service
# systemctl enable bacula-fd.service

# systemctl start bacula-dir.service
# echo status bacula-dir | bconsole

# systemctl start bacula-sd.service
# echo status bacula-sd | bconsole

# systemctl start bacula-fd.service
# echo status bacula-fd | bconsole

5) Install the docs and read them!!

# yum -y install bacula-docs
