Latest news

We're happy to announce the release of Bacularis 6.1.0. This update brings quite a long list of changes, definitely more than we originally planned when we started preparing this release.

New global resource search

One of the highlights of this release is the new global Bacula resource search. It's modern, user-friendly, and fully configurable.

Our goal was to provide a simple way to search across clients, storage, jobs, and many other resources - all in one place. We hope this feature will be useful both in large environments with many resources and in smaller setups as well.

Dashboard improvements

We've introduced several enhancements to the dashboard, including a new time range selector for charts. Instead of relying only on fixed ranges, you can now dynamically adjust the time scope whenever needed.

The static range option is still available and remains the default setting.

Upcoming OS support

We've added support for upcoming distributions (not yet officially released at the time of writing):

• Ubuntu 26.04 Resolute Raccoon (LTS)
• Fedora 44

This support also includes new OS profiles for deploying Bacula and Bacularis instances on remote hosts. We've prepared binary package repositories for these systems and updated the SELinux policy module accordingly.

API updates

On the API side, we've added several new endpoints and extended existing ones with additional parameters to provide more flexibility.

UI and navigation tweaks

We've also made a number of smaller improvements to the dashboard and breadcrumb navigation. These include visual refinements and text corrections to improve overall usability.

Bug fixes

This release includes several bug fixes. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our community members for their engagement and support. It really means a lot.

Technical note

When upgrading to version 6.1.0, we recommend updating both:

• the web interface host
• and the API host

This is required for the new search feature to work correctly.

If your web interface and API are running within the same local Bacularis instance, or if you don't plan to use the search feature, this does not apply to you.

We wish you smooth installations and upgrades, and a great time using Bacularis!
