[Bacula-users] running Bacula client on Synology
Hi all, Synology RS1221+ 8-Bay NAS specifically. Are there any officially supported fairly recent clients and installation guides available? If not Synology what other budget NAS brands are supported best?

I have not tried Bacula on Synology, but I can tell you one thing for free: Don't even THINK about trying to run a current Bacula on QNAP. There are obsolete Bacula packages for SOME QNAP models in QNAP's proprietary package format, but absolutely no way to install a current Bacula version. I tried it once and couldn't even figure out how to get a viable build environment set up. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Much depends on what QNAP NAS you have, what part of Bacula you want to run on it, which features you want and what kind of support you expect. I only run the SD on the NAS; never tried Director or FD, though. YMMV. There are obsolete Bacula packages for SOME QNAP models in QNAP's proprietary package format, but absolutely no way to install a current Bacula version. I tried it once and couldn't even figure out how to get a viable build environment set up. I've just tried cross-building 13.0.0 for QNAP/ARM: it just took a few minutes. (I explicitly left OpenSSL out, since I don't use it, so I don't know if it would work). Unfortunately I cannot test this at least until September. I'll happy provide the binaries (of course as-is) if you need them. In any case I have binaries for: _ 9.4.2, SD only: I believe it was compiled directly on a Zyxel NAS; not used anymore by me, but used to work; _ 9.6.3 (build through QNAP cross-compilier): SD happily running on a QNAP TS-212P, a QNAP TS-231, two Zyxel NSA-310 and a Zyxel NAS-326; FD/Director untested; _ 13.0.0 (build through QNAP cross-compilier): completely untested. If anyone wants them, just ask. bye av. P.S. I know the original question was about Synology, but I never had the chance to put my hands on any of these. ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

I couldn't find any useful information on that and QNAP support flatly refused to provide any. It's only academic curiosity at this point though, as I returned the QNAP NAS because it manifestly could not do the things I wanted to do with it.

It all stated from here: https://sourceforge.net/p/bacula/mailman/message/36443243/ Since I'm normally using FreeBSD, I created a Slackware VM in VirtualBox just for this. (Starting with manage it in any sensible way beyond pushing buttons in its point-and-drool web management interface, which I quickly found to be full of You Can't Do That.) Can't comment on that. After I put Bacula-SD on the NASes, usually my work is done. Occasionally I use SSH to check/delete some volumes. bye av. ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
