Wires JobRestore and JobDiff end-to-end at the agent layer (the wizard
backend that drives this lands in the next slice).
- internal/api: JobRestore + JobDiff JobKind constants. CommandRunPayload
grows nullable Restore + Diff sub-payloads. RestorePayload carries
snapshot_id, paths, in_place, target_dir; DiffPayload carries
snapshot_a + snapshot_b.
- internal/restic.RunRestore wraps 'restic restore <sid> --target ...
[--no-ownership] [--include p]...' with --json. New pumpRestoreStdout
parses the per-line status / summary objects (drops raw status from
log.stream — the throttled job.progress envelope covers it). New
RestoreStatus + RestoreSummary types mirror restic's wire shape.
- internal/restic.RunDiff wraps 'restic diff --json <a> <b>'.
- internal/agent/runner: RunRestore translates RestoreStatus into
job.progress (mapping FilesRestored → FilesDone etc) with a small
estimateETA helper since restic doesn't provide ETA for restore.
RunDiff is a thin streamHandler wrapper.
- cmd/agent dispatcher gains JobRestore + JobDiff cases. Both reuse
the spawn() helper from P3-X1 so cancel just works.
- Drive-by fix: lastProgress was initialised to time.Now() so the
very first status event was suppressed by the 1s throttle if the
agent reported quickly. Initialise to time.Time{} (zero) so the
first event always emits. Affects backup + restore.
Tests:
- restore_test covers restore happy path (started → progress →
finished, kind=restore on the started envelope), in-place argv
asserts no --no-ownership, new-dir argv asserts --no-ownership +
--target + --include, diff produces the expected log.stream lines.
Restage block (CLAUDE.md) is deferred to the end of the restore
sub-phase so we restage once with all changes.
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)
