Hello,
I have Bacula Community Edition installed and I have successfully performed a test backup using bconsole. So, at a very basic level, I have a working configuration.
However, bconsole is not the most user-friendly program that I have ever used, and I’m wanting to try an alternative Bacula client to manage Bacula: Webmin.
I’ve installed Webmin, but when I try to configure webmin to connect to the bacula installation it says “failed to login to the database”.
FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user “bacula”
I’m pretty sure this is the correct user, and I know the password that I supplied for this user during the installation.
However, as webmin is unable to connect, I’d like to check the user details in postgresql, in case I have made a mistake.
I am trying to follow the instructions here
But when I enter the first command
psql -U postgres
psql: error: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"
Would appreciate troubleshooting suggestions
Thanks
VW
