Linux: BWeb Installation with Package Manager on Debian/Ubuntu

The following article aims at explaining how to install Bweb with the use of Package Manager on Debian/Ubuntu.

Prerequisites

Bacula Enterprise (Director) installed (click Linux: Bacula Enterprise Installation with Package Manager on Debian/Ubuntu).

Steps

Configure package manager:

Add the following to a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bacula.list

#Bacula Enterprise
deb https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@@customer@@/debs/bweb/@@bee-version@@/@@os-version@@-@@arch@@/ @@os-version@@ bweb

@@customer@@ refers to your personalized area string. You can find your personalized URL (Download Area) from the Customer Portal (Your subscription in the menu on the left). The URL has this format: https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@@customer@@

@@bee-version@@ should be replaced by the version of Bacula Enterprise you purchased (12.x.y, 10.x.y)

@@os-version@@ is the code name of the distribution (buster/stretch/jessie)

@@arch@@ Architecture: 32 or 64 bit

Note

[arch=amd64] is mandatory only for 64 bit systems

A complete example might look like this:

Debian:

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

Ubuntu:

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

Note

On Ubuntu 64 bit systems you will need to write deb [arch=amd64] instead of deb

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
