Walk through Ubuntu 22.04 and Bareos 23

[Jason Chard]

Sorry, every time i post in groups or forums i feel like a newbie.

However, i've spend 3 days trying to install Bareos on Ubuntu 22.04 and am not successful.

I've reverted my VM back to template 6 times.

I've created documentation each time i run through.

I run into the same errors. If i start to try to work around the errors i end up doing 6-8 hours of going down rabbit holes only to get to a point where i stop and think it can't be this hard!

So, has anyone created a walk though for a successful install on Unbuntu 22.04 and Bareos 23.

Here are my notes if anyone is interested or in the future if anyone has the same issues.

Go to the correct version directory

   https://download.bareos.org/current/xUbuntu_22.04/

find

   add_bareos_repositories.sh

in the list and then copy the link

   https://download.bareos.org/current/xUbuntu_22.04/add_bareos_repositories.sh

Open Putty client (login to Ubuntu)

   wget https://download.bareos.org/current/xUbuntu_22.04/add_bareos_repositories.sh

Add the repo

   sudo bash add_bareos_repositories.sh

Now that it is added update

   sudo apt-get update

If we stay on script, it seems it assumes PostGreSQL is installed, so we will install them both from an instructional page.

sudo apt install bareos postgresql bareos-database-postgresql

mail server will be

   YOUR_MAIL_SERVER

Follow the next instructions to create admin user

  https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-bareos-on-ubuntu/

And it all falls apart, the user doesn't have the roles, but if i try to work around it just gets worse... so, once again, if anyone has a walk through, with Ubuntu 22.04 and Bareos 23 clean install, please shoot me the URL, i'd really appreciate it.

We've published a video a while ago which shows install from scratch:
