ansible-role-bareos

Role for installing and managing BareOS director, storages and client.

Requirements

This role requires you to have Apache and PostgreSQL (>=12.10) preinstalled on the director host. Installation and configuration of these pacakges is not subject of this role. Also, the hostgroup in your inventory file which contains the director should be named bareos_director.

Role variables

All role variables are documented in role defaults or are self-explanatory.
