This is a guide for installing BackupPC on FreeBSD 9.3.
h2. Setting up the Environment
* Start by making sure everything is up to date:
<pre>
pkg update && pkg upgrade
portsnap fetch extract
</pre>
* Install portmaster:
<pre>
pkg install portmaster
</pre>
h2. Install BackupPC
* Install BackupPC from ports:
<pre>
portmaster sysutils/backuppc
</pre>
*NOTE*: I decided to enable @[X]NMBLOOKUP@, @[X]SMBCLIENT@ and @[X]FILE_RSYNCP@ during the port configuration.
* Create a config file for backuppc:
<pre>
cp /usr/local/etc/backuppc/config.pl.sample /usr/local/etc/backuppc/config.pl
</pre>
* And then enable the service to start at boot:
<pre>
echo 'backuppc_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
</pre>
* Start backuppc:
<pre>
service backuppc
</pre>
h2. Install Nginx
* Install nginx:
<pre>
portmaster www/nginx
</pre>
* Create a configuration directory to make managing individual server blocks easier
<pre>
mkdir /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d
</pre>
* Configure Nginx by editing the *main nginx configuration* file:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
</pre>
#* And add/modify the following
<pre>
user backuppc backuppc;
worker_processes 4;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
tcp_nodelay on;
# Load config files from the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory
include /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
</pre>
* Then add a *backuppc site server block*:
<pre>
vi /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/backuppc.conf /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
</pre>
#* Add the following:
<pre>
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name _;
index index.html;
root /usr/local/www;
location ~ \.cgi$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap/fcgiwrap.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
}
}
</pre>
* And then enable the service to start at boot:
<pre>
echo 'nginx_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
</pre>
* Start nginx:
<pre>
service nginx start
</pre>
h3. Install Fcgi
Start by installing spawn-fcgi and fcgiwrap:
<pre>
portmaster www/spawn-fcgi www/fcgiwrap
</pre>
* And then enable the service to start at boot:
<pre>
echo 'spawn_fcgi_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'fcgiwrap_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'fcgiwrap_user="backuppc"' >> /etc/rc.conf
</pre>
