1) download the following package from your bacula4hosts download section
HostBill Backup as a Service module (reseller)
2) extract tgz file and upload into your hostbill install directory via FTP
3) log into your hostbill admin > navigate to settings > modules > search for "baas" > activate the module
4) fill in your DCE edition Hostname, IP, main admin UN (email address) and PW (API key found under settings) and test connection
For Standard Edition
Hostname = manage.bacula4hosts.com
Main IP = 96.125.182.104
UN = email address
API key = API key found under settings tab in your B4H GUI
5) Datacenter Edition ONLY - for selling backups over the WAN, ensure you have a WAN SD defined within your Bacula4Hosts Admin GUI under storage and then assign to your primary user account within Bacula4Hosts (where your LAN SDs are likely located) in order to create a WAN zone
6) For Standard Edition and Datacenter Edition customers - create your backup zones under BaaS zones in your Bacaul4hosts GUI.This allows you to group all SDs you want into a zone. For example, if you have facility 1 in New York with 5 SD's all LAN connected, you can call this NewYork-LAN. this zone can be used by your customers in your New York facility with LAN accessible SDs to their infrastructure. New servers will automatically be allocated to the SD within that zone with the most available disk space
***PLEASE NOTE - SSH keys must be installed on SD's to be attached as BaaS Storage Zones
7) In Hostbill Service Plan, to enable pricing for disk space and licenses, please do the following Hostbill Service (ie BaaS) > Components > create the following components
