postgresql-setup initdb

systemctl enable –now postgresql

sudo su - postgres

$ createuser bacula

Now you should uncomment the following setting in the /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file:

listen_addresses = 'localhost'

Now you need to change the connection configuration to the following format in the /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf file:

connection configuration of bacula on centos

Finally, you must restart the service using the following command to apply the changes:

systemctl restart postgresql.service

dnf install bacula-director bacula-storage bacula-console bacula-client

You can create databases, tables, and privileges by following the instructions below. Note that you must run them on behalf of the newly created Bacula user:

cd /usr/libexec/bacula/

sudo -u bacula ./create_postgresql_database

sudo -u bacula ./make_postgresql_tables

sudo -u bacula ./grant_postgresql_privileges
