install-bareos-client

A role to install the bareos client onto an Ubuntu machine and open up the required firewall ports (9102) so that it can communicate with the bareos-director server component.

    install_bareos_client_client_password: "Some very long string password here (47 characters)"

Which (numerical) version of Ubuntu you are installing this onto (default = 18.04)

    install_bareos_client_bareos_ubuntu_install_version: "18.04"

Dependencies

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: your_server
      vars_files:
        - vars/main.yml
      roles:
        - { role: stancel.install-bareos-client }

or

    - hosts: your_server 
      vars:
        install_bareos_client_client_password: "Some very long string password here"
        install_bareos_client_bareos_ubuntu_install_version: "16.04"
      roles:
        - { role: stancel.install-bareos-client }
