Amazon RDS Plugin Installation with Package Managers

Another way to install this plugin involves using the package manager of the used distribution.

In this instance, Debian Bullseye serves as an example of a base operative system. The process will be very similar in any version of Debian or any other Debian-based distribution (e.g., Ubuntu). In the case of using RPM-based distributions, like Red Hat Linux, Oracle Linux or Suse Linux, the primary distinction lies in switching to the appropriate package manager for that distribution, typically yum.

Steps

  1. Add the repository file suitable for the existing customer subscription and the Debian version utilized. An example would be /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bacula.list with the following content:

APT repositories
# Bacula Enterprise
deb https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@customer-string@/debs/bin/@version@/bullseye-64/ bullseye main
deb https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@customer-string@/debs/amazon-rds/@version@/bullseye-64/ bullseye amazon-rds

  1. Run the apt update:

APT update
apt update

  1. Install the plugin using:

APT install
apt install bacula-enterprise-amazon-rds-plugin

The plugin has two distinct packages that should be installed automatically with the command shown:

  • bacula-enterprise-amazon-rds-plugin

  • bacula-enterprise-amazon-rds-plugin-libs
