Hi, thanks for your great contribution. I have a question, i'm stopped in these steps:
[root@linuxhelp ~]# vim /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf
vim /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/webui-consoles.conf
vim /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/webui-profiles.conf
because those files don't exist in my system after execute the installation of bareos-gui
