This module manages Bacula. Through declaration of the bacula class, you can configure Directors, Storage Daemons, Clients, and consoles.
The module can be obtained from the Puppet Forge. Select Download which downloads a tar.gz file. Upload the tar.gz file to your Puppet Master. Untar the file. This will create a new directory called puppetlabs-bacula-${version_number}. Rename this directory to just bacula and place it in your modulepath.
You can also use the puppet-module tool. Just run this command from your modulepath.
puppet-module install puppetlabs/bacula
- Puppet >=2.6 if using parameterized classes
- Puppetlabs/stdlib module. Can be obtained here http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/stdlib or with the command
puppet-module install puppetlabs/stdlib - Puppetlabs/mysql module. Can be obtained here http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/mysql or with the command
puppet-module install puppetlabs/mysqlDeclare the mysql::server class to set up a mysql server on the bacula director node and setmanage_dbto true to have bacula manage the mysql database. - Puppetlabs/sqlite module. Can be obtained here http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/sqlite or with the command
puppet-module install puppetlabs/sqliteDeclare the mysql::sqlite class so it's available for the bacula class to use.
There is one class (bacula) that needs to be declared on all nodes managing any component of bacula. These nodes are configured using one of two methods.
- Using Top Scope (e.g. Dashboard) parameters
- Declare the bacula class on node definitions in your manifest.
NOTE: The two methods can be mixed and matched, but take care not to create the same Top Scope parameter and class parameter simultaneously (See below for class parameters and their matching Top Scope parameter) as you may get unexpected results. Order of parameter precendence:
- Class Parameter
- Top Scope Parameter
- Hard Coded value
Steps:
- Add the
baculaclass to the nodes or groups you want to manage any bacula component on. - Add the parameters (See below) to the nodes or groups to configure the bacula class
Grouping and Classifying Nodes
Declaration example:
class { 'bacula':
is_storage => true,
is_director => true,
is_client => true,
manage_console => true,
director_password => 'XXXXXXXXX',
console_password => 'XXXXXXXXX',
director_server => 'bacula.domain.com',
mail_to => 'bacula-admin@domain.com',
storage_server => 'bacula.domain.com',
}The following lists all the class parameters the bacula class accepts as well as their Top Scope equivalent.
BACULA CLASS PARAMETER TOP SCOPE EQUIVALENT DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMON PARAMETERS:
db_backend bacula_db_backend Which database backend system you want to use to store the catalog data
mail_to bacula_mail_to Address to email reports to
is_director bacula_is_director Whether the node should be a director
is_client bacula_is_client Whether the node should be a client
is_storage bacula_is_storage Whether the node should be a storage server
director_password bacula_director_password The director's password
console_password bacula_console_password The console's password

manage_bat bacula_manage_bat Whether the bat should be managed on the node
clients *See Adding Clients section*
UNCOMMON PARAMETERS:
manage_db_tables bacula_manage_db_tables Whether to manage the SQL tables in te database specified in db_backend. Defaults to true
manage_db bacula_manage_db Whether to manage creation of the database specified by db_database. Default to false. In order
for this to work, you must declare the `mysql::server` class
director_package bacula_director_package The name of the package to install the director
storage_package bacula_storage_package The name of the package to install the storage
client_package bacula_client_package The name of the package to install the client
director_sqlite_package bacula_director_sqlite_package The name of the package to install the director's sqlite functionality
storage_sqlite_package bacula_storage_sqlite_package The name of the package to install the storage daemon's sqlite functionality
director_mysql_package bacula_director_mysql_package The name of the package to install the director's mysql functionality
storage_mysql_package bacula_storage_mysql_package The name of the package to install the storage's sqlite functionality
director_template bacula_director_template The ERB template to use for configuring the director instead of the one included with the module
storage_template bacula_storage_template The ERB template to use for configuring the storage daemon instead of the one included with the module
console_template bacula_console_template The ERB template to use for configuring the bconsole instead of the one included with the module
use_console bacula_use_console Whether to configure a console resource on the director
console_password bacula_console_password The password to use for the console resource on the director
Additionally the following (uncommon) parameters can be passed to the bacula::client class:
client_conf - File name of bacula-fd configuration file
client_conf_template - Template for bacula-fd configuration file
client_service - The name of bacula-fd service
package_provider - Package provider (for solaris only)
pid_dir - The bacula-fd pid dir
working_dir - The bacula-fd working dir
To back up clients on your network, you need to tell the director about them. The director is whichever node you included the
bacula class and you specifed the parameter is_director to true. The way to add clients is different depending on if
you're using an ENC such as Dashboard or if you're using parameterized classes. Both need to know the parameters of the client
PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION
fileset Which FileSet to assign to the client
schedule Which schedule to assign to the client
template Which template to use for client config.Default: bacula/client_config.erb
The bacula class takes a clients parameter. The value for clients must be a hash with the keys of the hash being
the FQDN of the client. The value of the client needs to be a hash containing the parameters for the client.
$clients = {
'node1.domain.com' => {
'fileset' => 'Basic:noHome',
'schedule' => 'Weekly',
'template' => 'bacula/client_config.erb'
}
}
class { 'bacula':
is_storage => true,
is_director => true,
is_client => true,
manage_console => true,
director_password => 'XXXXXXXXX',
console_password => 'XXXXXXXXX',
director_server => 'bacula.domain.com',
mail_to => 'bacula-admin@domain.com',
storage_server => 'bacula.domain.com',
clients => $clients,
}The bacula module will look for parameters of a certain format to build its clients list. For each client, make a parmaeter of this format: bacula_client_client1.domain.com with value: fileset=MyFileSet,schedule=MySchedule

The Bacula module comes with templates that set default Fileset resources. To configure different Filesets, copy the bacula-dir.conf.erb file out of the bacula/templates directory to another location in your manifests (can be another module). Make the modifications you want and set the director_template parameter (listed above) to point to the path where you have stored the custom template.
Currently this module only configures the Bacula client on Solaris. Bacula Directors and Storage Daemon are not supported yet.
To use bacula::client with the Solaris CSWbaculaclient package set the following class paramenters:
class { 'bacula::client':
director_server => 'bacula.domain.com',
director_password => 'xxxxxxx',
client_package => 'CSWbaculaclient',
package_provider => "pkgutil",
client_conf => "/opt/csw/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf",
client_service => "cswbacula",
working_dir => "/opt/csw/var/bacula/working",
pid_dir => "/opt/csw/var/bacula/run"
}- Add ability to set custom Filesets for clients.
