Barman Configuration Check Fails for Directories

[Tomáš Tunys]

Hi,

I am coping with a peculiar problem with the configuration of Barman. I tried to configure Barman as described in the documentation and then run barman check command which says:

Server main:

ssh: OK

PostgreSQL: OK

archive_mode: OK

archive_command: OK

directories: FAILED (Permission denied)

compression settings: OK

I assume that I have some directory permissions set up wrong. But what directories? Could you please give me a hint. Thank you very much in advance.

T.T.

Hi Tomas,

thanks for using Barman and welcome to the list!

This happens when the directories where Barman needs to store files, do
not exist and cannot be created.

I was wondering if you followed the "Pre-requisites" section in the
documentation: http://docs.pgbarman.org/#_prerequisites

You can get a list of directories used by a specific server in Barman
through the "barman show-server" command.

This will return the list of directories that barman looks for,
according to the configuration file.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Gabriele

Thanks for such a fast reply!

I have controlled everything and think what, I have made a mistake in forgetting to set up the permissions 

to barman_home directory <after> mounting a volume for the backup data on it!

Now everything is working :).
