BackupPC is available via the Nethforge repository but there is no mention of it in the NS8 manual.
The main setting is for a FQDN, which if I put my NS8 instance as I only have a single Node, when I select “Open backuppc” it gives a “Bad gateway” error.
Cheers.
Indeed no official documentation as such, but maybe this helps:
https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=ns8:applications:backuppc
Not really.
Cheers.
Salut @EddieA,
I wrote a document for BackuPC for SME in 2018 and updated it in 2019 for NethServer. I updated again it in july 2023 but never publish it since NS8 was coming out.
The idea of stephdl for the creation of the first module of BackupPC for NethServer was taken from the 2019 document:
https://www.micronator.org/affaires/produit/nethserver-101-cahier-11backuppc/.
I am still using the 2019 version for NethServer-7.9 and in last July, after a disaster, I recuperated using it (aroung 60GB). I just had to install a fresh NethServer-7.9, update it and restore with BackupPC. No need to install all the applications before the restoration.
I do not know if it will work with NS8 but the descriptions of the parameters for the configuration of BackupPC should be the same.
Michel-André
The configuration page for NS8 is fairly straightforward:
All I’m looking for is what to put as the FQDN. If I put my NS8 single node instance name, then when I click this:
I get this:
Or do I have to set up a BackupPC server, in which case there doesn’t seen any point in having this app on NS8.
Cheers.
Does tha fqdn is resolvable from your client and from the server
Can you catch the log after you have saving the settings
We need to understand and for this we need logs
I only have a single NS8 instance: NS8. This is reachable, via either just the hostname or the FQDN throughout my internal network:

I see this in the log:

How does that work when the URL used to open BackupPC from the Status page is https. Changing the URL to http, I do get a sign-in box, but again, that leads me to the “Bad gateway” error.
I’ll also admit to not knowing anything about how traefik routes the request, as the Cluster Admin is also using port 80 (and 443).
Cheers.
Have you tried just using a different virtual host name (backuppc.bogolinux.net, bpc.ns8.bogolinux.net…) with proper DNS settings (resolvable), instead of your server’s main FQDN ?
That looks like it’s worked.
Cheers.
I think this requirement (for most apps if not all) should be stated more clealy in the Nethserver documentation.
The differene/requirement (for an app) between the MAIN FQDN e.g. “mydomain.org” and a sub-domain e.g. “myapp.mydomain.org”
Clearly one could argue that this could be considered basic knowledge, but as always, ‘assumption is the mother of all F***ups’.
Proven once again. Just saying…
