Building Bareos RPMs on Ubuntu 16.04

Following on from my previous post on how to build Bareos (Backup Archiving Recovery Open Sourced) RPM packages on CentOS 6 & 7 (https://www.spheron1.uk/2018/03/14/building-bareos-rpms-on-centos-6-7/), the following instructions will show you how to build .deb versions of the packages on Ubuntu 16.04.

Building Bareos RPMs on CentOS 6 & 7

Bareos (Backup Archiving Recovery Open Sourced) is a popular open source backup system originally forked from the Bacula project, but they only publicly publish packages for the first release of each major version; updates are reserved for paying customers. The source code is available on GitHub however, so you can pretty easily build your own packages, even if exactly how...

Remove CDP 2.0 cPanel integration

A handy feature of R1Soft CDP Server 2.0 (now known as Enterprise Edition) is that it can integrate with cPanel so that your users can restore their own files from your backups using a self service interface. If you want to remove this integration for any reason, then R1Soft provide a BASH shell script to do this for you: /usr/lib/buagent/control-panels/cpanel/remove-cpanel-integration.sh...

R1Soft CDP 3.0 with Atomic Secured Linux and PAX

If you want to run R1Soft CDP 3.0 on a system protected by Atomic Secured Linux and the ASL enhanced kernel with PaX/grsecurity then you need to disable memory protection for the CDP 3.0 binary. You do this by using paxctl to set the NOMPROTECT flag for the CDP 3.0 binary. /sbin/paxctl -m /usr/sbin/r1soft/bin/2-6/cdp-2-6 Unfortunately the CDP 3.0 binary lacks...

R1Soft CDP 3.0 – java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost UnknownHostException

When you launch the CDP 3.0 web interface for the first time, you are prompted to activate your license, or at least you should be. If instead you get a Java error then take a look in /usr/sbin/r1soft/log/monitor.log and you will probably see something like this: INFO | buserver | 2011/05/29 16:21:59 | May 29, 2011 4:21:59 PM org.zkoss.zk.ui.impl.UiEngineImpl handleError:1253...

R1Soft CDP scheduler issues

After spending quite some time with R1Soft support investigating some bizarre issues where the CDP 2.0 scheduler was skipping over some tasks seemingly at random, we eventually discovered that the issue was caused by setting the e-mail reporting task to run every minute. Decreasing the frequency of this task allowed all scheduled CDP tasks to run as normal. R1Soft are...

DomU kernel panic under Xen with R1Soft CDP agent

I ran into a weird problem on a freshly installed server today where one of the DomU virtual machines kept locking up with a kernel panic message: BUG: soft lockup – CPU#1 stuck for 10s! All of the other Xen DomU virtual machines running on the box were fine, so I was pretty sure it wasn’t a hardware bug. The...
