bareos-dir.conf Missing?

[Zach]

Hello,

Looking for a new alternative to some enterprise backup solutions, and I came across BareOS. Needless to say, I was excited to install and test it.

I followed the instructions to install BareOS/BareOS-WebUi on Centos 7 with the following link: https://www.linuxhelp.com/how-to-install-bareos-in-centos/

The epel repo downloads the latest version of Bareos and their instructions are set for 15.2.2. I went through the install process regardless and had success up to the point where I installed the WebUI.

The bareos-dir service is running with no problems until I get to the point where I add the following into /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf:

@/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/webui-consoles.conf
@/etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/webui-profiles.conf

According to VI, this wants to create a new file, which I thought was odd. Turns out, bareos-dir.conf does not exist in /etc/bareos. So I created it anyways, restarted httpd and bareos-dir services, and now I get an error when restarting bareos-dir:

Job for bareos-dir.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status bareos-dir.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Further:

Dec 29 21:53:04 brady.test.com systemd[1]: bareos-dir.service failed.

In addition, when I log into the webui, I get the initial login page, and after I log in, I get: Error: Connection refused, director seems to be down or blocking our request.

At this point, I think I'm narrowing it down to this missing bareos-dir.conf file. I went on GitHub and found a bareos-dir.conf file from 2013, so I thought inserting that into the "conf" file would fix it, but I get the same error.

Once I delete the bareos-dir.conf file that I created, the bareos-dir service starts successfully.

Any ideas/suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

if you're using 16.2 the configuration layout diretory has changed, as
indicate in the release note.

so you don't need anymore *daemon*.conf in /etc/bareos.

If you have installed the webui rpm, normally you will have their
configuration stored in bareos-dir.d/console and bareos-dir.d/profile

or you can have a sub dir called webui, and place the configuration there.

bareos-dir -t -d100 is your friend to help debugging.
