5 Bweb works well with 1.39 release or later.
9 3) initialize your configuration file
10 4) do some sql stuff (for postgresql or mysql 5 users)
11 5) use the -n option on bconsole so that it works with Expect
12 6) get bacula log more useful
14 8) using sudo with autochanger
17 11) setting mysql read-only account
18 12) get more statistics
20 ################ FILE COPY #####################################
21 # you must get bweb svn files
22 svn checkout https://bacula.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bacula/trunk/gui/bweb bweb
24 # or get them from the released tar files or from the apt or rpms.
27 # Once you have the gui directory loaded, follow the instructions below
28 # or edit the environment variables in the file install_bweb
29 # then execute it. install_web does everything to the next
33 # first, copy the bweb Perl library into your PERL5 INC path
37 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/lib/*.pm /usr/share/perl5
39 # copy the bweb perl program to your cgi location
40 mkdir -m 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
41 install -m 755 -o root -g root bweb/cgi/*.pl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb
44 mkdir -m 755 /etc/bacula
45 chown root:bacula /etc/bacula
46 echo '$VAR1 = { template_dir => "/usr/share/bweb/tpl" };' > /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
47 chown www-data /etc/bacula/bweb.conf
49 # copy the bweb template file
50 mkdir -p /usr/share/bweb/tpl
51 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/tpl/*.tpl /usr/share/bweb/tpl
53 # copy the bweb graphics elements (bweb elements must reside in /bweb)
55 install -m 644 -o root -g root bweb/html/*.{js,png,css,gif,ico,html} /var/www/bweb
59 WARNING : Your www-data (or wwwrun on SuSE) user must be able to execute bconsole and able
60 to read the bconsole.conf file!
61 You can create an bconsole group for that.
63 ################ USE FRENCH VERSION ############################
65 Simply use lang/fr/tpl/*.tpl files instead of tpl/*.tpl
67 ################ INSTALL PERL LIBRARY ##########################
70 - DBI (with mysql or postgresql support DBD::Pg and DBD::mysql)
71 (SQLite is not supported)
79 You can install perl modules with CPAN
83 Or use your distribution
84 apt-get install libgd-graph-perl libhtml-template-perl libexpect-perl
85 apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl libdbd-pg-perl libdbi-perl libtime-modules-perl
87 Note: the best way to test if you have all the dependencies
88 fullfilled for Perl is to:
90 cd /var/www/cgi-bin/bweb
93 you might also want to try:
97 To make sure the graphing modules are loaded. However, running it
98 will spray binary graphics data on your terminal. Otherwise, you will
101 That should show you if any of the pre-requisites are missing.
102 On SuSE 10.2, I was able to load all the appropriate modules via rpms,
103 with the exception of Expect and Time::ParseDate, which I loaded manually
106 If you experience problems, always consult the Apache error_log
109 ################ APACHE CONFIGURATION ##########################
111 It could be a good idea to protect your bweb installation (optional).
113 Put this in your httpd.conf, and add user with htpasswd
115 <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bweb>
116 Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
118 AuthName MyPrivateFile
119 AuthUserFile /etc/apache/htpasswd
124 On SuSE 10.2, the following in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf works.
125 However, it is not secure:
127 Directory "/srv/www/cgi-bin/bweb">
129 Options +ExecCGI -Includes
135 ################ CONFIGURATION #################################
137 Note, this is automatically installed by the install_bweb script.
139 /etc/bacula/bweb.conf looks like : (you can edit it inside bweb)
141 'graph_font' => '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf',
143 'config_file' => '/etc/bacula/bweb.conf',
144 'bconsole' => '/usr/sbin/bconsole -n -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf',
154 'device' => '/dev/changer',
160 'mtxcmd' => '/usr/sbin/mtx',
166 }, 'Bweb::Autochanger' )
169 'template_dir' => '/usr/share/bweb/tpl',
170 'dbi' => 'DBI:mysql:database=bacula',
174 'email_media' => 'eric@localhost'
178 ################ BRESTORE ######################################
180 If you want to use brestore with bweb, you must associate a mime type
181 text/brestore with your brestore.pl, and you must install brestore.
182 See gui/brestore/README for instructions on installing brestore.pl.
184 ################ POSTGRESQL AND MYSQL5 NOTES ####################
186 If you want to use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, you must add
187 a function to the PostgreSQL Bacula database to get Bweb to work.
189 psql -U bacula bacula < script/bweb-postgresql.sql
191 Tips: PL must be enabled in your cluster, you can do this with postgres user
192 postgres:~$ echo 'CREATE PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql;' | psql bacula
195 To get database size with mysql5, edit Bweb.pm and change the DB_SIZE macro
197 # with mysql < 5, you have to play with the ugly SHOW command
198 DB_SIZE => " SELECT 0 ",
199 # works only with mysql 5
200 # DB_SIZE => " SELECT sum(DATA_LENGTH) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES ",
202 ################ BCONSOLE NOTES ################################
204 You must use bconsole without conio/readline support. For that, use
205 the bconsole -n option. This is done automatically with the standard
206 configuration file. In addition, please ensure that the binary
207 bconsole file can be executed by your web server. It is normally
208 located in /usr/bin/bconsole (or some such file), and must have
209 modes 755 or it will not be executable by your web server. The
210 normal Bacula installation usually sets mode 750.
212 ################ BACULA LOG ####################################
214 If you want Bweb to be able to show listings of the Job output,
215 you must add a "catalog = all, !skipped, !saved" to your
216 messages resource in bacula-dir.conf and restart your Bacula
217 server. This is shown below:
222 operator = root@localhost = mount
223 console = all, !skipped, !saved
224 append = "/tmp/bacula/var/bacula/working/log" = all, !skipped
226 catalog = all, !skipped, !saved
230 ################ BWEB LIMITATION ###############################
232 To get bweb working, you must follow these rules
233 - Media, Storage and Pool must have [A-Za-z_0-9\.-]+ (no space)
234 - AutoChanger name must be same as Device and Location name in bacula
236 ################ SUDO CONFIGURATION ############################
238 If you use sudo, put this on you /etc/sudoers
240 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer transfer *
241 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer status
242 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer load *
243 www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/mtx -f /dev/changer unload *
245 ################ BFILEVIEW SETUP ###############################
247 At this time, bfileview works only with PostgreSQL.
249 Alias /bweb/fv /var/spool/bweb
250 <Directory "/var/spool/bweb">
252 AllowOverride AuthConfig
257 mkdir /var/spool/bweb
258 chmod 700 /var/spool/bweb
259 chown www-data /var/spool/bweb
261 You have to remove "<!-- Remove this to activate bfileview" and "-->" from
262 tpl/display_job_zoom.tpl.
264 You must use brestore.pl -b to initialize the database, and
265 you can use bfileview.pl mode=batch jobid=xxx where=/ to compute tree size.
267 At this time, it's a good idea to schedule brestore.pl -b after your
271 Name = "BackupCatalog"
273 # This creates an ASCII copy of the catalog
274 RunBeforeJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula Pei0ahm9"
275 # This deletes the copy of the catalog
276 RunAfterJob = "/opt/bacula/etc/delete_catalog_backup"
277 RunAfterJob = "/usr/local/bin/brestore.pl -b"
280 To upgrade from an old installation, you can use :
281 ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Size int8;
282 ALTER TABLE brestore_pathvisibility ADD Files int4;
284 ################ ACCESSING TO BWEB ############################
286 Now, you are able to launch firefox/mozilla and go on
287 http://your-server/bweb
289 ################ SETTING MYSQL ACCOUNT ########################
291 At this time, Bweb needs a write access to :
296 - Media::RecyclePoolId (it will change soon)
298 If your doesn't use Location feature, you can use ReadOnly access
299 for all tables, or setup something like :
301 GRANT SELECT ON bacula.* TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
302 GRANT INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON bacula.Location
303 TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
304 GRANT INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON bacula.LocationLog
305 TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
306 GRANT UPDATE (LocationId,Comment,RecyclePoolId) ON bacula.Media
307 TO 'bweb'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
309 ################ GET MORE STATISTICS ###########################
311 You keep Jobs informations across retention into a job_old table.
312 You have to setup stat_job_table = job_old in bweb configuration.
314 CREATE TABLE job_old (LIKE Job);
316 And run this on crontab when you want :
318 (SELECT * FROM Job WHERE JobId NOT IN (SELECT JobId FROM job_old) );
