Hi,

I was attempting to use this role to install Bareos on ubuntu 20.04.

I was getting tripped up with the monitoring packages install.

• name: Install packages for monitoring
  apt:
  name:
  - python-psycopg2
  - python-mysqldb
  - python3-psycopg2
  - python3-mysqldb

Apparently the python 2 versions are not avail on Ubuntu 20. I changed it and added a variable 'bareos_apt_monitoring_packages' which defaults to the list of 4 packages above, but lets me override and remove the python 2 versions.

eg.

• name: Install packages for monitoring
  apt:
  name: "{{ bareos_apt_monitoring_packages }}"

Does this seem like a reasonable approach? I'm not too experienced with ansible, and just getting started with bareos.

I also added an Ubuntu20.yml file to my vars folder, which was pretty straightforward.

thanks,
Craig

What do you think about this as a feature? It would add the webui admin console file if the variable (ie. bareos_webui_admin_console) is set

something like:

bareos_webui_admin_console:
name: admin
password: secret
tlsenable: false

Then the corresponding admin.conf would be created in the console folder. Could use template ansible task to do this iff the variable is present.

I would be happy to implement and submit a PR if you think this would be useful, and open to suggestions if you would like to tweak implementation suggested above.

cheers,
Craig

Hi,

we are trying to use the role to execute a client-side script (one-liner) to exclude files from the backup.

According to the documentation of BareOS, we should be able to define this:

Type:

“\\|command-client”

as so

File = "\|sh -c 'df -l | grep "^/dev/hd[ab]" | grep -v ".*/tmp" | awk "{print \$6}"'"

in the playbook.

But, it does not work. We end up with a list of "File =" containing each of the character in the command.
i.e.

File =
File = |
File = s
File = h
etc ...

Can you tell me if it's a limitation of the role and how can we fix it.

Thanks in advance for your help in the matter.
