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.
restic-manager
Self-hosted, browser-based, single-pane-of-glass for managing restic backups across a fleet of Linux and Windows endpoints.
Status: pre-alpha. Phase 0 (project bootstrap) complete; Phase 1 (MVP) in progress. See
spec.mdfor the design andtasks.mdfor the roadmap.
What it does (target)
- Central visibility into backup state for every endpoint
- Trigger any restic operation remotely (
backup,forget,prune,check,unlock,snapshots,stats,diff,restore) - Manage per-host backup schedules from the UI
- Live job progress streamed back to the UI
- Restore wizard (browse snapshots, pick paths, restore to original or alternate host)
- Repo health surfacing (size, dedup ratio, last check, lock state)
- Alerting on failure or staleness
- Cross-platform agent (Linux + Windows)
- Ransomware-resistant repo access via append-only credentials
Architecture (one-line summary)
A small Go control-plane on the Proxmox host, lightweight Go agents on each
endpoint that hold an outbound WebSocket to the control-plane, and a
restic/rest-server on Unraid that holds the actual backup data. The
control-plane never touches backup bytes.

Local development
Requires Go 1.25+ (built and tested on 1.26). The floor is set by
modernc.org/sqlite v1.50.
make build # builds cmd/server and cmd/agent into ./bin
make test # runs go test ./...
make lint # runs golangci-lint
make run-server # runs the server (dev defaults)
