# Installation Baculum API from rpm binary packages

Note Before start using Baculum API and Baculum Web version 9.0.0 please backup your Bacula configuration in safe place. It is specially important because on first save config action the Bacula configuration is joined into one file per Bacula component.

For rpm binary there are the following packages:

- baculum-api - main Baculum API package with application files
- baculum-api-httpd - Apache web server configuration files for Baculum API
- baculum-api-lighttpd - Lighttpd web server configuration files for Baculum API
- baculum-common - Common files for Baculum API and Baculum Web
- baculum-web - main Baculum Web package with application files
- baculum-web-httpd - Apache web server configuration files for Baculum Web
- baculum-web-lighttpd - Lighttpd web server configuration files for Baculum Web

## Add the Baculum rpm repository

To add the Baculum repository, first you must import the Baculum public key:

    rpm --import http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/baculum.pub

Once the key is imported, the next step is to add the repository definition. First you must create the following file:

    /etc/yum.repos.d/baculum.repo

The for CentOS 7, put the following in the file just created:

    [baculumrepo]
    name=Baculum CentOS repository
    baseurl=http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/centos
    gpgcheck=1
    enabled=1

For Fedora 25 the bacula.repo file should have the following contents:

    [baculumrepo]
    name=Baculum Fedora repository
    baseurl=http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/fedora
    gpgcheck=1
    enabled=1

## Installation for the Apache

Install the Baculum API for the Apache Web server as follows:

    yum install baculum-common baculum-api baculum-api-httpd

Restart your Apache Web server:

    service httpd restart

## Installation for Lighttpd

Installation on system with access via Lighttpd is as follows

    yum install baculum-common baculum-api baculum-api-lighttpd

Please note that in case CentOS distribution the Lighttpd web server is available in the distribution packages after enabling the EPEL repository.

Start Baculum as application using the Lighttpd Web server:

    service baculum-api-lighttpd start

## Access to bconsole via sudo for Apache and Lighttpd

Baculum API requires access to Bconsole and to Bacula JSON programs. To configure Bconsole sudo access and the Bacula JSON programs access there can use following entries in newly created Baculum sudoers.d file (usually in path /etc/sudoers.d/baculum):

In case default Apache user, the file contents must be:

    Defaults:apache !requiretty
    apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bconsole
    apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bdirjson
    apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bsdjson
    apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bfdjson
    apache  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bbconsjson

In case default Lighttpd user the file contents must be:

    Defaults:lighttpd !requiretty
    lighttpd  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bconsole
    lighttpd  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bdirjson
    lighttpd  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bsdjson
    lighttpd  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bfdjson
    lighttpd  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bbconsjson

# Installation Baculum API from deb binary packages

Note Before start using Baculum API and Baculum Web version 9.0.0 please backup your Bacula configuration in safe place. It is specially important because on first save config action the Bacula configuration is joined into one file per Bacula component.

For deb binary there are the following packages:

- baculum-api - main Baculum API package with application files
- baculum-api-apache2 - Apache web server configuration files for Baculum API
- baculum-api-lighttpd - Lighttpd web server configuration files for Baculum API
- baculum-common - Common files for Baculum API and Baculum Web
- baculum-web - main Baculum Web package with application files
- baculum-web-apache2 - Apache web server configuration files for Baculum Web
- baculum-web-lighttpd - Lighttpd web server configuration files for Baculum Web

## Add the Baculum deb repository

To add the Baculum repository, first import the Baculum public key:

    wget -qO - http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/baculum.pub | apt-key add -

Once the key is imported, the next step is to create a new baculum file:

    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/baculum.list

For Debian 8 Jessie the contents should be:

    deb http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/debian jessie main
    deb-src http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/debian jessie main

For Debian 9 Stretch the contents should be:

    deb http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/debian stretch main
    deb-src http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/debian stretch main

For Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial the contents should be:

    deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/ubuntu xenial main
    deb-src http://bacula.org/downloads/baculum/stable/ubuntu xenial main

After adding repository definition, please refresh repository indexes:

    apt-get update

## Installation for Apache

To install Baculum API access via Apache Web server by using apt packages manager use the command:

    apt-get install baculum-common baculum-api baculum-api-apache2

Next you must enable mod_rewrite module for Apache, with the following command:

    a2enmod rewrite

and include Baculum VirtualHost definition in the Apache configuration with:

    a2ensite baculum-api

The restart your Apache server with:

    service apache2 restart

## Installation for Lighttpd

Example installation with access via Lighttpd web server looks following:

    apt-get install baculum-common baculum-api baculum-api-lighttpd

Start Baculum API as application available through Lighttpd web server:

    service baculum-api-lighttpd start

## Access to bconsole via sudo for Apache and Lighttpd

Baculum API requires access to Bconsole and to the Bacula JSON programs. To configure Bconsole sudo access we strongly recommend that you create a Baculum sudoers.d file, which should be in /etc/sudoers.d/baculum:

Note, please define sudo for the Bacula JSON programs only when you are going use Bacula configuration module in the Baculum.

Both for Apache and Lighttpd user the file contents can be:

    Defaults:www-data !requiretty
    www-data  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bconsole
    www-data  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bdirjson
    www-data  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bsdjson
    www-data  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bfdjson
    www-data  ALL=NOPASSWD:  /usr/sbin/bbconsjson

# Debugging your First Baculum API Login

At each step of the initial login to Baculum, the screen will have a test button that will allow you to check to see if your parameters were correctly entered. If not, you will see error message on the wizard page. You can also get additional detail by examining the Apache error log, that is usually found at:

    /var/log/httpd/baculum-api-error.log

If you use Lighttpd thento get additional detail you can check:

    /var/log/lighttpd/baculum-api-error.log

In addition, special debug output is placed by Baculum in the file:

    /usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/API/Logs/baculum-api.log

The debug you can enable in file:

    /usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/API/Config/api.conf

by switching in [api] section option debug to "1".

With the information in those two files, you can usually quickly find and correct most problems.

# Installation from the Source Tar File

You may also install Baculum from the source bacula-gui tar archive.

To prepare Baculum runtime files one uses the Makefile file. To do this, after unpacking bacula-gui archive please go to Baculum main directory:

    cd ./web/baculum/

Then please run (depending on used distribution):

For rpm-based distributions (example with /tmp/baculum-runtime destination directory):

    make build DESTDIR=/tmp/baculum-runtime

For deb-based distributions (example with /tmp/baculum-runtime destination directory):

    make build DESTDIR=/tmp/baculum-release SAMPLETYPE=deb-template \
    HTTPDNAME=apache2 HTTPDSITECONF=sites-available

After execution above command, in path /tmp/baculum-runtime should contain all required runtime files.

The Base Baculum source files will be located in:

    /tmp/baculum-runtime/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/

These are the files that should be placed in web server's document root (or Virtual Host document root) directory.

Please note that for language files (including English) symbolic links must be created as shown below:

    /usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/baculum.mo
     => /tmp/baculum-runtime/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/Lang/en/baculum.mo

    /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/baculum.mo
     => /tmp/baculum-runtime/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/Lang/pl/baculum.mo

    /usr/share/locale/pt/LC_MESSAGES/baculum.mo
     => /tmp/baculum-runtime/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/Lang/pt/baculum.mo

    /usr/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/baculum.mo
     => /tmp/baculum-runtime/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/Lang/ja/baculum.mo

Please also update the symbolic link to the Baculum settings directory in the following paths:

    /tmp/baculum-runtime/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/API/Config
    /tmp/baculum-runtime/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/Web/Config

Other files are: web servers configuration files, systemd units, SELinux policy module and others. Please select and copy appropriate files to your system environment and edit their content if needed.

You must set read/write privileges for the Web server user to the files and directories listed below:

    ./baculum/assets/
    ./baculum/protected/Web/Config
    ./baculum/protected/API/Config
    ./baculum/protected/Web/baculum.users
    ./baculum/protected/API/baculum.users
    ./baculum/protected/runtime/

# OAuth2 authorization

Baculum API can use OAuth2 for authorization and authentication.

To obtain tokens there is used Authorization Code Grant flow. Authorization and access token URLs are as follows:

    Authorization URL: /api/auth/
    Access Token URL: /api/token/

Baculum API doesn't use refresh tokens. After expiration token the client application has to re-authorize again.

Default expiration time for authorization code is 7 seconds, for access token 60 seconds. These values are changed in:

    /usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/Common/Class/OAuth2.php

in constants AUTHORIZATION_ID_EXPIRES_TIME and ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_TIME.

Default OAuth2 callback URL in Baculum Web is following:

    https://baculumgui:9095/web/redirect

## Before running OAuth2

Important note before using OAuth2

When you decide to use OAuth2, you must change default HTTP Basic authorization setting. Otherwise OAuth2 will not work. It is for enabling OAuth2 acces for /api/ endpoints but still keep HTTP Basic protection for the Baculum API panel pages.

For Apache the change is about switching in Baculum API Apache config the Location tag from / to /api/page.

    # NOTE: When you use OAuth2 then change this location section
    # From: <Location />
    # To:   <Location /api/page>
    #
    <Location />
            AuthType Basic
            AuthName "Baculum Auth"
            AuthUserFile /usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/API/Config/baculum.users
            Require valid-user
    </Location>

For Lighttpd the change is about uncommenting in API Lighttpd config lines as described in comment below.

    #
    # Uncomment this line and closing braces below when you use OAuth2
    #
    # $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/web/page/.*$" {
            auth.backend = "htpasswd"
            auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/usr/share/baculum/htdocs/protected/API/Config/baculum.users"
            auth.require = ( "/" => (
                    "method" => "basic",
                    "realm" => "Baculum Auth",
                    "require" => "valid-user"
                    )
            )
    # }
