Agent calls restic snapshots --json after each successful backup
(60s timeout, separate from the backup ctx) and ships the projection
over the existing snapshots.report WS envelope. Failure here is
logged but doesn't fail the job — the next successful backup catches
the projection up.
Server-side ReplaceHostSnapshots is delete-then-insert plus a
hosts.snapshot_count update in one transaction so the dashboard's
per-host count stays consistent with the projection. New read
endpoint GET /api/hosts/{id}/snapshots returns the cached list with
a refreshed_at marker so the UI can show staleness when an agent
has been offline.
Schema: dropped the unused snapshots.repo_id FK (repos as a
first-class entity is P2 work), added short_id and refreshed_at
columns, switched the time index to DESC for the most-recent-first
list query. api.Snapshot gains short_id; size_bytes/file_count come
from the embedded summary block on restic 0.16+ and stay zero on
older clients.
Tests cover round-trip, authoritative replacement after forget+prune
shrinkage, and empty-after-wipe.

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)
