How to Install Pastila on Ubuntu Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Pastila on Ubuntu Server. Pastila is a tool that allows you to take backups of your MySQL databases and store them either locally or at a remote location. Follow these simple steps to install Pastila on your Ubuntu Server.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have a clean installation of Ubuntu Server with the above packages.

Step 1: Download Pastila

You can download Pastila from its official website. Run the following command to download it:

$ wget https://pastila.nl/pastila.tgz

This command will download a compressed tar archive file named pastila.tgz.

Step 2: Extract Pastila

Once the download is complete, extract the archive by running the following command:

$ tar -xzf pastila.tgz

This command will extract the contents of the archive to a folder called pastila.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

The next step is to install the necessary dependencies for Pastila to run correctly. Run the following command to do so:

$ sudo apt-get install libdatetime-perl libdbd-mysql-perl liblog-log4perl-perl libnet-smtp-ssl-perl libnet-ssh2-perl libparallel-forkmanager-perl libterm-readkey-perl libyaml-perl

This command will install several Perl dependencies to run Pastila successfully.

Step 4: Configure Pastila

Open the configuration file, pastila.conf, in the pastila directory using a text editor:

$ nano pastila/pastila.conf

Configure the settings according to your database and backup requirements by adjusting the following lines:

db_user=user_name
db_pass=user_password
db_name=database_name
db_host=localhost
smtp_relay=smtp_server
bkp_location=/backup/backup_temp/
backup_type=single

Once you have configured these settings, save the configuration file.

Step 5: Create a Backup

You can now create a backup of your database by running the following command:

$ ./pastila/pastila.pl -c ./pastila/pastila.conf -b

This command will create a backup of your database according to the configuration settings specified in the pastila.conf file.
