Changing default ports

[Roman Starun]

Hello.

Several Bareos servers under one WAN IP. Backups from internet

I need to publish two Bareos boxes (two DIRs, two SDs) on the same ip. All clients are in different locations and backed up over the internet. Bareos DIR and SD are behind NAT. 9101-9103 ports are mapped on router to one of the Bareos boxes (server installations).

Thing is, i have to switch redirected ports to first Bareos server or to second manually. What's the point of automatic backups if i need to switch router rules manually? :)

So i'm trying to change dir and sd listening ports to non default. Lets say 8101, 8103. 

Here is working SD config:

Storage {

  Name = bareos-sd

  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5

  Heartbeat Interval = 60

  SDport = 9103

}

But as soon as i change SDport to 8103, SD does not start. 

Bareos ver 18.2.5, Centos 7.

Since you're using CentOS, there is a big chance that you have SELinux
enabled. So SELinux is preventing a bind to non-labeled port. You have
to label port 8103 with bacula_port_t type.

SELinux is disabled. i'll try to create new installation on Ubuntu to check if helps

Installed fresh Ubuntu server 18.04 LTS and latest bareos build. Everything is the same. Service status - stopped as soon as i change ports in cfg and start/stop service.

bareos-director.service: Can't open PID file /var/lib/bareos/bareos-dir.9101.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or dir

Ok, i've found solution.

/etc/systemd/system/@bareos-dir.service

contains line:

PIDFile=/var/lib/bareos/bareos-dir.9101.pid

While service creates pid file name based on DIR port = xxx configuration.

Just changed @bareos-dir.service manually and rebooted. Problem solved.

That problem is known. The systemd unit file hardcodes the PID-file name
and that filename contains the port-number. So changing the port-number
leads to a different PID-file which leads to systemd not finding that
PID-file.
Workaround: edit the systemd unit to look for the filename with the
changed portnumber in the name.

Andreas
