This project convert from BARMAN command to RESTful api. Barman API support full future and all versions of BARMAN.

##Before you start Barman API needs a directory to store data.

• Barman API Server
  api@barmanapi$ sudo mkdir /var/lib/barmanapi
api@barmanapi$ sudo chown user:user /var/lib/barmanapi
api@barmanapi$ sudo chown user:user /etc/barmanapi.conf
• Barman Server

barman@backup$ sudo chown barman:barman /etc/barman.conf

####Use with the BARMAN server and Barman API Server in the same machine You don't need anything. ####Use with the BARMAN server and Barman API Server in the diffrent machine Barman API using SSH connection to BARMAN server. You must provide ssh connection BARAMAN Server and Barman API server with trust connection. ######If you don't have a ssh keygen

api@barmanapi$ ssh-keygen

######Trust connection to BARMAN server

api@barmanapi$ ssh-copy-id barman@backup

• Linux/Unix
• Python > 2.6
• Python modules:
  • Flask
  • Flask-HTTPAuth

####From pip

api@barmanapi$ sudo pip install barmanapi

####From source

api@barmanapi$ cd barmanapi

api@barmanapi$ sudo python setup.py install

Basic Auth default user

Username:memin Password:1258

####Start Server

api@barmanapi$ barmanapi runserver

Note: First usage, must call http://host:port/barman/reload?token=XX

####Directory List ######/var/lib/barmanapi/ Store BARMAN API data files.

• archive: All active folder compress by month
• active : Async commands and results store in directory
• config : Barman commands and config parameter templates store in directory
• garbage: Temp directory
• logs : All logs store in directory

######/usr/share/barmanapi/ Store some config files

• client.conf : Store user information. You can change this file location in barmanapi.conf file.
• man.conf : Store man parse options. Do not change this file location and content.
• template/config_change_template : Store code template. Do not change this file location and content.

####Client config file

[memin]
password = 26588e932c7ccfa1df309280702fe1b5
access = []
deny = []
