Suites: noble
Components: bweb
Signed-By: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/BaculaSystems-Public-Signature-08-2017.asc

Note

In old distros you might need to use the old repository .list format, namely:

# Bacula Enterprise BWeb
deb https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/Customer-123456/debs/bweb/14.0.6/buster-64/ buster bweb

for Debian, or

# Bacula Enterprise BWeb
deb [arch=amd64] https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/Customer-123456/debs/bweb/14.0.6/bionic-64/ bionic bweb

for Ubuntu.

Update your package manager and verify your BWeb Management Suite repository is correctly configured:

apt-get update

Install BWeb

apt-get install bacula-enterprise-bweb

This will pull a lot of Perl dependencies that must be installed because BWeb depends on them.

4. As mentioned in the install output, you need to run the following script to finalize the installation of BWeb

/opt/bweb/bin/install_bweb.sh

Result

Bweb is installed.

Post-installation Suggestions

Start and enable the BWeb system service:

systemctl start bweb.service

systemctl enable bweb.service
