Bareos is an open-source backup application that can help you backup and restore data on your system. Here is a step by step tutorial on how to install it on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before you install Bareos, it is essential to update your system to get the latest packages and bug fixes. Use the following command to update your system.
sudo zypper update
The next step is to add the Bareos repository to your system. You can achieve this by running the following commands.
sudo zypper addrepo -f http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/19.2/OpenSUSE_Leap_15.1/ bareos
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh bareos
These commands will add the Bareos repository and refresh it.
After adding the Bareos repository to your system, the next step is to install the Bareos Director, Storage Daemon, and File Daemon using the following command.
sudo zypper install bareos bareos-webui
This command will install Bareos along with the web interface.
After installing Bareos, you need to configure it to suit your needs. The configuration files are located in /etc/bareos/.
bareos-dir.conf: This file is the configuration file for the Bareos Director daemon.
bareos-sd.conf: This file is the configuration file for the Bareos Storage daemon.
bareos-fd.conf: This file is the configuration file for the Bareos File daemon.
Make necessary changes to these configuration files to customize your backup settings.
The final step is to start the Bareos service using the following command.
sudo systemctl start bareos-dir.service
This command will start the Bareos Director service.
Bareos is now installed on your system, and you can use it to backup and restore data on your system. The web interface is accessible through http://localhost/bareos-webui. You can log in with the default username and password, which is "admin" and "password" respectively. You can change these credentials later by logging in and changing the password.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
