Foundational for the restore wizard's tree browser. The wizard needs to lazy-load directory contents from a snapshot as the operator drills down; this lands the transport. - internal/api adds MsgTreeList (server → agent) + MsgTreeListResult (agent → server) with TreeListRequestPayload / TreeListEntry / TreeListResultPayload types. Reply correlates by Envelope.ID. - internal/restic.ListTreeChildren wraps 'restic ls --json' and filters its recursive output to direct children of the requested path. Parser + path-normalisation + isDirectChild are unit-tested. - internal/server/ws/rpc.go introduces a generic SendRPC helper on Hub: register a buffered channel keyed by ULID, send the request, block on ctx.Done()/timeout/reply. Reply routing piggybacks on the existing dispatchAgentMessage by adding a MsgTreeListResult case that forwards to the registered waiter; if no waiter is registered (caller already gave up) the stray reply is dropped quietly. - cmd/agent gains a tree.list handler that runs ListTreeChildren on a fresh per-call context (60s ceiling) and ships the matching tree.list.result envelope. Errors surface in result.Error rather than as transport failures so the server-side waiter can render a sensible UI message. - internal/server/http/tree_cache.go is the per-wizard-session cache layer (~30min TTL, sweep-on-access) that fetchTreeWithCache uses before falling through to SendRPC. Cached on success only; agent errors aren't cached so a transient failure doesn't poison the session. Tests: - internal/restic/ls_test.go covers parseLsChildren at root / mid-tree / leaf, plus normalizeTreePath and isDirectChild edge cases. - internal/server/ws/rpc_test.go unit-tests the registry: round-trip, release semantics, concurrent waiters, ctx-cancel. - internal/server/http/tree_rpc_test.go is the full round-trip: server SendRPC → fake-agent over a real WS → reply → server gets the payload. Plus a timeout test that confirms ~300ms timeouts terminate in ~300ms rather than waiting forever. The cache is plumbed but no UI handler hits fetchTreeWithCache yet — that lands with P3-01 (wizard backend). The unused-linter is suppressed via nolint until the wizard wires it in.
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)
