Topic: [ANNOUNCE] smeserver-bacula

[ASPerience]

Hi,

I'm afraid none of the team didn't respond to this thread. I have never saw this thread before today.
There was someone in our team that left us that had to publish the code and documentation, and respond to questions.
I think he didn't had enough time to do all his missions.
I'll try to respond to some questions. We'll try to make some updates as well in the next months.


"Sounds interesting, any docs/howto's ?!"
I'm afraid there aren't many. We tried to make the plugin as friendly as possible and we've put most of documentation in the screens.


"Not Found
The requested URL /bweb/cgi-bin/bweb.pl was not found on this server."
Yes, we must delete the frame

"supplying template fragments in the templates-custom tree"
Could you be more precise?

"As a last part you make extensive use of pre/post macros which should be kept to a bare minimum."
In fact, making a full working configuration and having the ability to restore an old configuration has lead us to write the plugin as it is.
Even if it's not like other plugins. But this plugin is far more consequent as some other plugins because bacula is a very complex tool

"Please read up on the SME Server Developers Guide and adjust and fix your RPM accordingly."
We can evolve a little, but we won't rewrite the plugin. We've no budget for that. This plugin is installed for many client where we just use the plugin.

"SRPS are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/smeserverbacula/files/"
Yes. Full open source. You know, if you want to correct the plugin to add features or be more "SME Server Developers Guide" friendly, I can put some hours in our budgets to re-read, test and release the new code

To install on SME:

yum install smeserver-bacula bacula-mysql bacula-mtx
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

There is a note in corrections to do:
sed -i 's/DomainName/domainName/g' /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/FormMagick/Panel/misajourBacula.pm

mkdir /bacula
chown bacula:bacula /bacula

mkdir dist /backup
chown bacula:bacula /backup/dist/
mkdir local /backup
chown bacula:bacula /backup/local/

verify server date


I'm ready to respond to new questions

Hi,

The db directory in your SRPM holds all kind of files that should not be there IMHO as well as in formats that are not expected there.

Just looked. As bacula is far more complex to configure as some other tools, we've pre-filled databases with datas in order to help users. I we delete this, I'm afraid the plugin wouldn't serve anymore.

What do you think? bacula-fileset is the most useful

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to reply in this forum to my direct email to yourself.

I am more than happy to assist in getting your contrib cleaned up (caveat: I am not very familiar with the inner workings of SME Server - yet), is it possible to have your contrib re-released so that the when installing the client, we don't get a message that that it conflicts with the other files in you contrib? (I am trialing it on SMEServer Beta 8.05.)

What data did you need to pre-load into SQL tables?

Cheers
Douglas.

you don't need to install a client."yum install smeserver-bacula bacula-mysql bacula-mtx" should be the only installation needed. no data to pre-load neither. data is in SME db files

i'll try next to install in SME 8.0

I have managed to get the client installed, (not sure how, it was on an older VMware image I had) 

Would it be possible to also provide the en-us locale information, not just the french so the forms display properly, for example, the form title just shows 'FORM_TITLE", etc, as I note that the en-us locale is the default - I use en-nz which would default to en-us but there are not locale files there.

Cheers
Douglas.

Perhaps it would be a good thing to add it to SME Server CVS, benefits are that the package can be translated using the translation interface we have as well as it being distributed through the SME Server SME Contribs repository, simplifying installation.

If you want to make the translations, you're welcome... I'll try to do it this summer if not overbooked
