We are proud to let you know that we released a new major Bacularis version 4.0.0.

This is a new major Bacularis release. It provides in the install wizard a new capability to install and configure complete Bacula environment to work with Bacularis. It means that to install Bacularis first time having the Bacula environment is no longer required. This function can be specially useful for new users who don't know Bacula and they would like to try Bacula in easy way. At start the Bacularis wizard supports nineteen various Linux distributions and versions. This move is a first step in organized by the Bacularis Project a global action named "Bacula for Everybody!" which the main goal is to popularize using Bacula. More information about it you can find in a separate news.

In addition, we added some new functions and improvements such as bulk run job action in the job list, the repository auth configuration on deployment page or a new deployment function to deploy the catalog database. They updated the SELinux module as well. At the end the we fixed some bugs reported by the Community.

 Binary packages

Since version 4.0.0 we changed a way of accessing repositories with Bacularis binary packages. Now they are available after registering in the Bacularis user panel at users.bacularis.com More information about the new package repositories you can find on this page.

What does this change mean for you?

The binary package users will need to update the repository definition on hosts with Bacularis.

The Bacularis Docker container image users - nothing changes.

The Bacularis Composer project users - nothing changes.

The Bacularis users who use the manual installation/updates - nothing changes.

New Bacularis.com service

In the Bacularis project we are in place where the Project needs financing. Because of that we started a new website where we offer additional services for Bacularis. So far Bacularis was developed in free time after regular job time. Now we have an opportunity to focus on Bacularis in 100%. We hope that is a big chance for the Project to be intensively developed in next years.
