-
Run File daemon installer with defaults settings:
choco install winbareos
-
Run File daemon installer with custom settings by providing the installer some command line switches (via Chocolatey
-installArgs
option):-
Set the name of the Bareos Director (server) to use and the password it should use to access this File daemon (otherwise installer generates a random password):
choco install winbareos -installArgs '/DIRECTORNAME=mycompany-bareos-dir /CLIENTPASSWORD=SecretPassword'
-
PowerShell version that uses machine's domain (Windows AD) to set the Director name and address accordingly, also sets the network address of the client:
choco install winbareos -installArgs '/DIRECTORNAME=' + $env:userdnsdomain + '-bareos-dir /DIRECTORADDRESS=bareos.' + $env:userdnsdomain + ' /CLIENTADDRESS=' + $env:ComputerName.ToLower() + '.' + $env:userdnsdomain
The list of available command line switches can be found on the Bareos manual (section 26.1.2 Command Line (Silent) Installation). The additional
/CLIENTCOMPATIBLE
switch exists to enable Bacula-compatible mode (/CLIENTCOMPATIBLE=1
) or to disable it (/CLIENTCOMPATIBLE=0
). -
