Bareos REST API using fastAPI and python-bareos

Experimental and subject to enhancements and changes.

This is an experimental backend for development purposes.

It provides a REST API using fastapi and python-bareos to connect to a Bareos director.

Guide

Installation

We recommend to create a dedicated Python environment for the installation in an own directory:

python3 -m venv env
# Activate the virtual environment inside the directory
source env/bin/activate
# Install dependencies into the virtual environment
pip install bareos-restapi

Note: The optional module sslpsk can be installed manually, if you want encrypted communication between the API and the Bareos director.

Configuration

The module directory contains a sample ini-file. Change into this directory (something like /lib/python3.x/site-packages/bareosRestapiModels on most operating systems) and copy api.ini.sample to api.ini and adapt it to your director. Make sure to generate an own secret-key for the JWT section.

Your director configuration in api.ini should look like:

[Director]
Name=bareos-dir
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=9101

Note: you will need a named console (user/password) to acces the Bareos director using this API. Read more about Consoles here: https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#console-resource

Start the backend server

From inside the module directory run:

uvicorn bareos_restapi:app --reload

Browse

The Swagger UI contains documentation and online-tests. Use "authorize" to connect to your Bareos director using a named console. Read here to learn how to configure a named console: https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#console-resource

The Swagger documentation also contains CURL statements for all available endpoints.

Future work

The API will be extended by some methods provided by the Bareos console, that are not yet implemented. It is also planned to add delete / update options for configuration in the director and REST API. If you are interested in support and / or funding enhancements, please visit https://www.bareos.com

TODO:

  • define and document response model
  • add possibility to connect to a choice of directors
  • add start-script with ini-file name as parameter
