The smoke runbook caught a real bug: ConsumeEnrollmentToken was
inserting into host_credentials (FK -> hosts) inside the same tx as
the token burn, but the host row didn't exist yet — CreateHost
runs in the *next* statement. The agent saw a generic 401 with no
clue why.
Fix: drop the host_credentials insert from ConsumeEnrollmentToken;
the HTTP handler now does Consume -> CreateHost ->
SetHostCredentials. SetHostCredentials failure is logged loudly
but doesn't fail the enrol — operator recovers via PUT
/api/hosts/{id}/repo-credentials.
Adds slog.Warn lines on both 401 paths in handleAgentEnroll so the
underlying cause is visible in server logs (the wire response stays
generic to avoid leaking which step failed).
Test: TestEnrollmentTransfersRepoCreds rewritten to mirror the new
order (consume -> create host -> SetHostCredentials).
Runbook (docs/e2e-smoke.md): rest-server moved off 8000 (commonly
in use); URLs use trailing slash on the rest path; clarified that
secrets_key is minted on first agent start, not at enrol time.

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.
Full architecture diagram and component breakdown:
spec.md §3.

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)
