Re: [Bacula-users] 7.0 CentOS Bacula Packages Deploy: Postgresql and ran

Hello,

I'm travelling around Japan, so my connectivity is limited. I'm answering from my mobile.

PostgreSQL support is there, it's simply using the alternatives back end to select the library to use (PostgreSQL/MySQL/Sqlite).

Please read the README included in the bacula-common package.

Also, you might want to look at the 7.2 backport repository, which is useful if you have mixed Rhel/CentOS and Fedora versions:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/slaanesh/Bacula/

You can upgrade in place straight from the official packages.

Please search the mailing list if you want additional information regarding packaging; at the moment it's a bit difficult for me.

Regards,
--Simone

Under a standard Bacula installation using "make install" the passwords
are *random*, and any package should also create *random* passwords.
Bacula uses openssl to generate those passwords and if openssl is not
installed, it generates a pseudo-random number. I cannot say exactly
what most packages do, but from what I see they all do it more or less
correctly -- though there is evidently a problem somewhere.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
