chocolatey-winbareos

Chocolatey package for Bareos Windows File daemon.

This will silently install Bareos (a client/server backup solution) File daemon on Windows operating systems via Chocolatey Machine Package Manager.

Usage examples

Chocolatey is required to use the winbareos Chocolatey package, see installation instructions.

❕ Cloning of this repository is not required to use it: packages are stored on Chocolatey server

  • Run File daemon installer with defaults settings:

    choco install winbareos
  • Run File daemon installer with custom settings by providing the installer some command line switches (via Chocolatey -installArgs option):

    • Set the name of the Bareos Director (server) to use and the password it should use to access this File daemon (otherwise installer generates a random password):

      choco install winbareos -installArgs '/DIRECTORNAME=mycompany-bareos-dir /CLIENTPASSWORD=SecretPassword'
    • PowerShell version that uses machine's domain (Windows AD) to set the Director name and address accordingly, also sets the network address of the client:

      choco install winbareos -installArgs '/DIRECTORNAME=' + $env:userdnsdomain + '-bareos-dir /DIRECTORADDRESS=bareos.' + $env:userdnsdomain + ' /CLIENTADDRESS=' + $env:ComputerName.ToLower() + '.' + $env:userdnsdomain

    The list of available command line switches can be found on the Bareos manual (section 26.1.2 Command Line (Silent) Installation). The additional /CLIENTCOMPATIBLE switch exists to enable Bacula-compatible mode (/CLIENTCOMPATIBLE=1) or to disable it (/CLIENTCOMPATIBLE=0).
