Role Variables

Here are some variables you can customize for this role:

---
bareos_tls_path: /etc/bareos/tls
bareos_tls_certs: your.bareos.dir.com

bareos_fd:
  director:
    - name: your-dir
      description: Director that can contact this file daemon.
      password: DIRAver@gEStr0ngPaSSw0rd
      tls_enable: "yes"
    - name: your-mon
      description: Description for restricted Director monitor
      password: MONAver@gEStr0ngPaSSw0rd
      monitor: "yes"
      tls_enable: "yes"
  client:
    - name: your-client
      description: Your Bareos client
      fdport: 9102
      max_jobs: 20
      tls_enable: "yes"
  messages:
    - name: your-messages
      description: Messages description
      server: your-dir

These variables are optional. If you don't provide them, the tasks using these variables will be skipped. You can set one, some, or none at all, and it will still install Bareos-FD with the default settings.

You can also enable Percona XtraBackup for MySQL by adding this variable:

---
percona_xtrabackup: "yes"

Make sure to use this only if you have 'mysql-community-server' installed.

Additionally, you can use HashiCorp Vault to store client certificates (if you're using Bareos with TLS). Here's the optional variable for that:

---
hashicorp_vault:
  address: your.vault.com
  token: your_token
  path: your-path-to-certs
  clients:
    - name: host1.client1
      client: client1
      role: role1
      ttl: 24h
    - name: host2.client1
      client: client1
      role: role1
      ttl: 18h
    - name: host01.client2
      client: client2
      role: client2
      ttl: 12h
    - name: host02.client2
      client: client2
      role: client2
      ttl: 96h

You can also remotely add client configurations to your main Bareos Director server with this optional variable:

---
bareos_server: you.bareos.dir.server

bareos_dir:
  client:
    - name: your-client
      description: Your client configuration
      address: 10.0.0.1
      fdport: 9102
      max_jobs: 20
      passive: "yes"
      tls_enable: "yes"
      jobs:
        - name: client-job1
          description: Job1 for client
          client: client.name.com
          jobdef: your-jobdefs1
        - name: client-job2
          description: Job2 for client
          pool: your-pool
          fileset: "your-fileset"
          schedule: "your-schedule"
