Bumping CI to v2.5.0 surfaced two new gofumpt findings (in two test files that gofumpt v2.1.6 considered fine). Local re-format with the matching tool brings them in line. Pre-commit hook config: prepend $GOPATH/bin to PATH inside the hook entry so gofumpt + golangci-lint resolve when ~/go/bin isn't on the operator's interactive shell PATH (common — go install puts them there but PATH config varies). Without this, the hooks fail with 'Executable not found' even when the tools are installed. Pin the Makefile setup target to v2.5.0 so a fresh clone gets the same binary CI runs — keeps pre-commit and CI from drifting again.
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)
