Spotted during the live Playwright sweep: clicking Acknowledge or Resolve updated the alert row but never fanned out a notification. The handlers went straight to Store.Acknowledge/Resolve, bypassing the hub. Add Engine.Acknowledge and Engine.Resolve that wrap the store call and dispatch the matching event to every enabled channel. The UI handlers prefer the engine path when wired, and fall back to the direct store call so unit tests that construct a Server without an engine still work. Use context.WithoutCancel for the goroutine dispatch — the request context is cancelled the instant the handler returns 204, so the naive 'go e.hub.Dispatch(ctx, ...)' was racing the response and losing the channel-list query with 'context canceled'.
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)
