I'm not sure I get what you're saying... the bacula server is not managed by chef, there's only one of those. It's my clients that are managed by chef.

If I understand what you're suggesting:

If client creates a config file. This file is somehow put on the bacula server. The server then somehow adds this file to the configuration.

There's no way to tell the director to add a client through bconsole?

If you're using chef I'd suggest splitting out each of your client config files into their own conf file and use chef templates to create them. Then have a cron script check if there are any new/changed conf files and reload the director config if their are. This is what I do.

I was able to successfully install bacula. Now the next step.

I use chef to spin up various systems on aws, I need to back up each of
these systems. I am able to manually go to the bacula box and add my
clients.

Is there a way to programatically (scripts, bconsole, whatever) register
a client on the bacula box? Basically add a client to bacula-dir.conf
and schedule the necessary jobs.

Thanks for your answers!
