Security and Permissions Considerations

Community

In order to allow the different elements of your Bacula to communicate, you need to open the following network ports:

Director: 9101 (TCP)
Storage Daemon: 9103 (TCP)
File Daemon: 9102 (TCP)

If your database is located on another server please also open the appropriate ports:

postgresql: 5432 (TCP and UDP)

Please set up your IPtables or Packet Filters rules to enable this communication. Also check your SELinux/App Armor security rules to enable the following processes to run and be accessible:

/opt/bacula/bin/bacula-dir running as user bacula
/opt/bacula/bin/bacula-sd running as user bacula
/opt/bacula/bin/bacula-fd running as user root
