OpenShift: Installation

CommunityEnterprise

The Bacula File Daemon and the OpenShift Plugin can be installed outside of the OpenShift cluster on a server which has access to the OpenShift API, or inside a protected cluster in a Container/Pod. The OpenShift Plugin can be installed on different operating systems and distributions, so the Bacula Enterprise File Daemon for the correct operating system and platform has to be used.

There is no need, or in some solutions (when K8S is a cloud service like GKE or EKS), it is even a possible to install a Bacula File Daemon and the OpenShift Plugin on a OpenShift Master Server (etcd, control pane).

Prerequisites

The Plugin Directory directive of File Daemon resource in /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-fd.conf must point to where the kubernetes-fd.so plugin file is installed. The standard Bacula plugin directory is /opt/bacula/plugins

FileDaemon {
  Name = bacula-fd
  Plugin Directory = /opt/bacula/plugins
  ...
}
