-====== Installing Bacula on Ubuntu Server 9.10 ======
+====== Installing Bacula 5.0.x on Ubuntu Server 9.10 ======
-FIXME this is work in progress! Don't use it yet!
+As Ubuntu is shipping with Bacula 2.4 and there is no more recent version available in the backports repository, using bacula 5.0.x on Ubuntu 9.10 means compiling it from scratch - this is meant to be a short copy-n-paste instruction on how to do this.
+===== Preparing MySQL =====
+  aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client
+  # choose secure password
+edit ''~/.my.cnf'' to contain the following lines:
+  [client]
+  user="root"
+  password="<enter your literal password here>"
+===== Preparing the System =====
+create a system (''-r'') account:
+  useradd -r -m -c "Bacula System Account" -s /bin/noshell bacula
+  addgroup bacula tape
+(using /bin/noshell is a security measure. If you ever have to become bacula, use the command\\ ''su - bacula -s /bin/bash'')
+As we are going to compile bacula with TCP Wrapper support, make sure it can be accessed locally by adding the following linew to ''/etc/hosts.allow'':
+  ALL: LOCAL
+  ALL: 127.0.0.1
+  ALL: <ip number of system>
+Install the tool(s):
+  aptitude install mtx
+===== Installing bacula =====
 Install packages (needed on a fresh installed server)

+Setup MySQL for bacula:

+Hit Enter at the password prompt (initial password is **empty**, which is not the same as **no password**. Enter at the SQL prompt:
+  set password = password('<enter new literal bacula mysql password here') ;
+  quit
+remove MySQL history as it contains the unencrypted password:
+  rm -v ~/.mysql_history
+continue with setting up MySQL for bacula:
+  /bin/sh ./create_mysql_database
+  /bin/sh ./make_mysql_tables
+__Fix file permissions as root:__\\
+(this is needed, as we do not want to run the storage deamon and the director as root)

+===== Reinit database =====
+This will destroy all information about previous backups!!! It's only noted here to get rid of data produced by testruns!
+  cd /opt/bacula/scripts
+  /bin/sh ./drop_mysql_tables
+  /bin/sh ./make_mysql_tables
+You might want to "clean" your tape as well:
+   (stop Bacula or unmount the drive)
+   mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
+   mt -f /dev/nst0 weof
+(These two hints are from the [[http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Installing_Configuring_MySQ.html#SECTION004130000000000000000
+|bacula manual]])
+I recomment to clean the working directory as well:
+  rm -rv /opt/bacula/working/*
+===== Build client only =====
+  ./configure --prefix=/opt/bacula-5.0.1-client \
+    --sbindir=/opt/bacula-5.0.1-client/bin \
+    --sysconfdir=/opt/bacula-5.0.1-client/etc  \

+NB: ''--enable-static-fd'' didn't work for me
+===== Further Reading =====
+There is a lot of documentation on the projects web page. Especcially useful for configuration is the [[http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Director_Index.html|Directors index]].
