Smoothes the rough edges that came up exercising a live deployment.
First-run bootstrap UI: /bootstrap renders a username + password form
that uses the in-memory token directly (operator no longer copies it
out of the log); /login redirects there while bootstrap is available.
Agent reliability: failJob synthetic envelopes so command.run early
returns no longer hang the server-side job; runtime probe of restic
restore --help drives --no-ownership instead of version sniffing
(0.18.x had it removed). Server unit re-shaped: ProtectSystem=full
plus ReadWritePaths=/etc/restic-manager, no ProtectHome — restore
can now write anywhere a user might want.
Restore wizard: default target is /root/rm-restore/<job-id>/ with
clearer help text. Re-init confirm input uses .field (was .input,
which doesn't exist — text was invisible).
NS-01 host delete: store DeleteHost, admin-band /hosts/{id}/delete
with hostname-confirm danger zone, audit, FK cascade, live WS close.
NS-02 enrollment-token recovery: outstanding-tokens panel on
/hosts/new, regenerate (preserves attachments) and revoke handlers
+ audit, store-level ListOutstandingEnrollmentTokens and
DeleteEnrollmentToken.
NS-03 repo init / probe surface: migration 0020 adds
hosts.repo_status + repo_status_error; WS handler projects every
init job's outcome onto the host row (idempotent already-initialised
collapses to ready); creds-save resets status and dispatches a fresh
probe; /hosts/{id}/repo/probe retry endpoint with banner.
NS-04 dashboard live + sort + filter: query-string filter
(q/status/repo_status/tag/sort/dir), 5s htmx live poll mirroring the
alerts pattern with a localStorage live toggle, sortable column
headers, filter row + clear.
Alerts page: ack'd-by line resolves user_id ULID to username.
Compose.yaml ignored — host-specific.
Single public deliverable per tag: a multi-arch server image, with
cross-compiled agent binaries + install scripts + the systemd unit
baked under /opt/restic-manager/dist/. The /agent/binary and
/install/* handlers fall back from <DataDir>/... to that read-only
path so a fresh container Just Works without first-run staging;
operators can still drop a custom build into <DataDir>/ to override
per-host.
Architecture rationale: agent distribution already routes through
the running server, so the release surface mirrors that — there's
no second source of truth to keep in sync.
Workflow .gitea/workflows/release.yml triggers on v*.*.* tag-push
(fan-out :vX.Y.Z / :X.Y / :X, plus :latest once MAJOR>=1) and
workflow_dispatch (snapshot tag only). Pushes to the Gitea
container registry on this instance.
Both binaries grow main.commit + main.date ldflag targets. Makefile
and Dockerfile fill them; release workflow forwards from gitea.sha
plus a UTC timestamp.

Adds GET/POST handlers for /settings/account in the viewer band
(any authenticated user), account.html template with current-password
field suppressed when must_change_password is set, and audits the
change via AppendAudit.
Adds handleUIUserNewGet, handleUIUserNewPost, handleUIUserSetupLinkGet
to ui_users.go; creates web/templates/pages/user_edit.html (multi-mode
new/edit/setup-link); wires three routes in the admin band of server.go.
Replaces the 501 stub with the full handler: validates the token and
password, hashes and stores the password, deletes the setup token,
mints an 8-hour session cookie, appends a user.setup_completed audit
entry, and redirects to /. Adds TestSetupPostHappyPath covering the
full round-trip including normal-login verification after setup.
Routes are now structured into Public / Viewer / Operator / Admin bands
using requireRole middleware. Job log stream and download moved into the
Viewer band. healthz moved from New() into routes() with the other
public endpoints.
The alerts list is the one screen where staleness is genuinely
harmful — an operator can be looking at an Open tab that's already
been resolved by another admin or auto-resolved by the engine, and
take action on a row that no longer exists.
Add an htmx poll on just the table panel:
hx-get same URL with current querystring (filters preserved)
hx-trigger every 15s, only when document is visible (no idle CPU)
hx-select #alerts-table — pull this element out of the response
hx-swap outerHTML
Polling lives on the table div, not the page root, so the filter
strip and header don't flash on each tick. Header gains a small
'live ●' label so the polling is discoverable.
RefreshURL is r.URL.RequestURI() on the server side — keeps any
status/severity/host_id/q params intact across refreshes.
Other screens (dashboard, hosts, jobs) deliberately stay manual-
refresh per the project's anti-flicker stance.
Until now the open-alert key was (host_id, kind, resolved_at IS NULL).
A host with two source groups both failing collapsed onto one
backup_failed row — second failure bumped last_seen_at and
overwrote the message but never re-fan-out. Operators saw one
alert that appeared to flap, not two distinct broken things.
Schema changes (column-level ALTER, no rebuild):
- 0015 jobs.source_group_id (FK → source_groups, ON DELETE SET NULL,
index). Populated for backup jobs in CreateJob.
- 0016 alerts.dedup_key (NOT NULL DEFAULT ''). The old alerts_open
partial index gets dropped and replaced with a UNIQUE partial
index on (host_id, kind, dedup_key) WHERE resolved_at IS NULL —
the index is now the actual dedup primitive.
Plumbing:
- RaiseOrTouch / AutoResolve / Alert struct gain dedup_key.
- engine.JobFinishedEvent gains SourceGroupID; handleJobFinished
passes it through for backup_failed only (forget/prune/check stay
repo-scoped with key='').
- ws.handler reads SourceGroupID off the freshly-loaded job row.
- dispatchJobWithPayload gains a *string sourceGroupID arg; the
per-group Run-now path and schedule.fire path pass &g.ID.
Test coverage: TestRaiseOrTouchDedupsPerSourceGroup proves two
distinct groups produce two distinct open alerts and that resolving
one does not auto-resolve the other.
Dev tool: cmd/_fake_alert gains -dedup-key flag.
Self-hosted ntfy that doesn't expose a token-mint endpoint can still
authenticate over HTTP Basic. Add Username + Password fields to
NtfyConfig; the channel sends 'Authorization: Basic …' when token is
empty and username is set. Token wins when both are configured.
Form-side: two new optional fields next to the access token, with
the same write-only placeholder treatment as smtp_password (blank
on edit means 'keep stored value'). Username is round-tripped on
edit; password is masked.
Two bugs in the channel-enabled affordance:
1. List-row toggle was a static span with no handler; the row's
row-link overlay swallowed every click and routed to /edit. Add
POST /settings/notifications/{id}/toggle backed by a new store
method SetNotificationChannelEnabled, and turn the row toggle
into an htmx-driven button that swaps in the new state. Use
event.stopPropagation() on the toggle so it beats the row link.
2. Edit-form toggle visually flipped but the underlying checkbox
reverted: the visual span lives inside the <label>, so clicking
it fired the inline JS handler AND the label's native
checkbox-toggle, cancelling out. Bind to the checkbox 'change'
event instead and let the label do the toggling — the JS just
mirrors check.checked into the .on class.
The channel form has three inputs all named 'name' (one per kind
section: webhook / ntfy / smtp), but only the visible kind's input
is filled in. PostForm.Get returns the first regardless of
emptiness, so editing an ntfy or smtp channel always read '' from
the (hidden, unfilled) webhook section's name input and rejected
with 'name required'.
Add firstNonEmpty helper that scans the slice for the first
non-blank value. Same flavour of bug as the enabled checkbox fix
in 6466f8c — both fall out of having multiple inputs share a name
across the per-kind sub-forms.
The notification channel form has a <input hidden name=enabled value=0>
plus a <input checkbox name=enabled value=1> so unchecking the box
still submits 'enabled=0' (otherwise the field would just be absent).
But Go's url.Values.Get returns the FIRST value, so even when the
checkbox is ticked the handler read '0' and persisted enabled=false.
Scan r.PostForm["enabled"] for any '1' instead. Caught during the
sweep — all three test channels saved with enabled=0 even though
the toggle visually rendered ON.
Spotted during the live Playwright sweep: clicking Acknowledge or
Resolve updated the alert row but never fanned out a notification.
The handlers went straight to Store.Acknowledge/Resolve, bypassing
the hub.
Add Engine.Acknowledge and Engine.Resolve that wrap the store call
and dispatch the matching event to every enabled channel. The UI
handlers prefer the engine path when wired, and fall back to the
direct store call so unit tests that construct a Server without an
engine still work.
Use context.WithoutCancel for the goroutine dispatch — the request
context is cancelled the instant the handler returns 204, so the
naive 'go e.hub.Dispatch(ctx, ...)' was racing the response and
losing the channel-list query with 'context canceled'.
Flagged in review of cd38b40: the Alerts tab badge should show the
open count from any page, not just /alerts. baseView now takes the
request and queries store.ListAlerts(Status: "open") to fill
view.OpenAlerts on every page render. All call sites updated.
- ws.HandlerDeps gains an AlertEngine *alert.Engine field; populated
from http.Deps.AlertEngine (nil until G1 constructs the engine)
- runAgentLoop calls NotifyHostOnline after MarkHostHello succeeds
- dispatchAgentMessage MsgJobFinished case calls NotifyJobFinished,
looking up the job Kind via Store.GetJob before notifying
- store.MarkHostsOfflineStaleReturnIDs added: SELECT+UPDATE in one
transaction, returns the IDs that flipped to offline
- offline sweeper in cmd/server/main.go switched to the new variant;
TODO(G1) comment marks where NotifyHostOffline calls will land
Per-snapshot size + file-count come from the embedded summary block
restic added to 'snapshots --json' in 0.17 (the source comment in
internal/restic/snapshots.go incorrectly said 0.16+). Hosts running
0.16.x leave those columns blank.
- Fix the snapshots.go doc comment: '0.16+' -> '0.17+'.
- hostDetailPage carries a LegacyRestic bool computed from the host's
reported ResticVersion via Env.AtLeastVersion(0, 17). Empty version
also counts as legacy (conservative default).
- Template attaches title='Needs restic 0.17+ on the agent host. This
host runs <ver>.' + cursor:help on the SIZE / FILES headers when
the flag is true. Hosts already on 0.17+ get no tooltip and no
extra styling.
A host upgrading restic to 0.17+ gets the columns populated on the
next backup automatically — no further code change needed.
Three small follow-ups from review:
1. Restore target is now operator-editable. Default value is the
literal '\$HOME/rm-restore/<job-id>/' (agent expands \$HOME at
run time using os.UserHomeDir(); also handles \${HOME} and ~/
prefixes). Operator can replace with any absolute path.
- ui_restore.go validates the input is either absolute or starts
with one of the recognised prefixes; other env-var refs (\$PATH
etc.) are deliberately rejected so operator paths can't pick up
arbitrary agent env values.
- host_restore.html replaces the read-only mono-text display with
a real <input>; help text spells out that \$HOME resolves
agent-side and <job-id> is substituted on dispatch.
- install.sh + the systemd unit prep /root/rm-restore so the
default works under the sandbox: ReadWritePaths gains a soft
'-/root/rm-restore' entry (the '-' makes the bind-mount soft-fail
if missing, but install.sh pre-creates it root-owned 0700).
2. --no-ownership flag now gated on restic version. The flag was
added in restic 0.17 and 0.16 rejects it. Previously dropped it
wholesale — that meant new-dir restores silently preserved
ownership against design intent on 0.17+. Now the agent threads
its detected restic version (sysinfo already collects it) through
runner.Config -> restic.Env, and RunRestore appends --no-ownership
only when AtLeastVersion(0, 17) returns true. 0.16 hosts still
restore with original uid/gid; help text in the wizard explicitly
notes this. The previous 'Original ownership is preserved' copy
was wrong for new-dir mode and is corrected.
3. golangci-lint misspell locale switched US -> UK and the codebase
swept (73 corrections, mostly behaviour/serialise/recognise/honour).
Wire-format ErrorCode 'unauthorized' -> 'unauthorised' is a tiny
contract change but the agent doesn't parse those codes today and
no external API consumers exist yet. Tests passed before + after.
Tests:
- internal/restic/version_test.go covers Env.AtLeastVersion across
edge cases (empty, exact match, patch above, minor below, non-
numeric) and expandHome on \$HOME / \${HOME} / ~/, plus
pass-through for absolute paths and refusal of other env vars.
- ui_restore_test updated: TargetDir now starts '\$HOME/rm-restore/'
with the job_id substituted into the placeholder.
Live verified on the smoke env: default target restored to
/root/rm-restore/<job-id>/ as the agent's expanded \$HOME (2 files,
14 bytes); custom override '/tmp/custom-restore/<job-id>/' restored
into the agent's PrivateTmp namespace (1 file, 6 bytes); both jobs
'succeeded', exit 0.
The diff job's full output streams to the standard live job log page,
which can be a lot of text the operator wants to grep through or paste
into a ticket. Add a Download button.
Source of truth is the persisted job_logs table — works any time
(running or finished) and doesn't need to pause the live WS stream.
The download is 'everything the server has up to right now'; if the
operator wants a fuller snapshot of a still-running job, they hit
Download again.
- New endpoint GET /api/jobs/{id}/log.{txt,ndjson} (chi {format}
matcher constrained to the two known suffixes). Auth via session
cookie. 404 on unknown job.
- internal/server/http/job_download.go writeLogsText emits a small
header + 'HH:MM:SS.mmm TAG payload' rows mirroring what the live
page shows. writeLogsNDJSON emits one self-contained {seq,ts,stream,
payload} JSON object per line — appending stays valid (each line
stands alone), and the whole file pipes cleanly into jq. NDJSON is
newline-delimited JSON; not the same as a JSON array.
- web/templates/pages/job_detail.html grows two header buttons:
'Download log' (txt) + '.ndjson' ghost variant for tooling.
Tests cover the txt format (header + per-row shape), the ndjson
format (each line round-trips through json.Unmarshal), unknown job
404, unauthenticated 401.
Bug fixes from the Playwright sweep against the live smoke server:
1. Snapshot-picker layout. The .snap-row class was used in the wireframe
but never landed in web/styles/input.css; rows rendered as vertical
blocks instead of a 6-column grid. Added the token (mirrors host-row
shape with restore-specific column widths).
2. Tree expansion. hx-target='closest .tree-row + .tree-children' isn't
a valid HTMX selector — modifiers don't chain. Replaced HTMX-driven
expansion with a small window.__rmTreeToggle helper that uses plain
fetch + .tree-pair wrapper structure for trivial sibling lookup.
Caches loaded state per node.
3. --no-ownership flag dropped. Restic 0.17 introduced --no-ownership;
0.16 rejects it ('unknown flag') before doing any work. Since the
agent runs as root in the systemd unit, restored files keep their
original uid/gid either way and the parent dir is root-owned, so
the 'cp without sudo' rationale doesn't hold. Drop the flag entirely.
4. Default target dir moved to /var/lib/restic-manager/restore. The
systemd unit pins ReadWritePaths to /etc/restic-manager +
/var/lib/restic-manager (with ProtectSystem=strict making the rest
of /var read-only); writes to /var/restic-restore failed with
'read-only file system'.
5. Confirm summary HTML escaping. defaultTarget JS literal evaluates
to a string with literal angle brackets; insertion into innerHTML
must escape them. Added an inline HTML-escape pass.
tasks.md ticked for the Restore sub-phase with a sweep summary
covering the live end-to-end test.
