The diff job's full output streams to the standard live job log page,
which can be a lot of text the operator wants to grep through or paste
into a ticket. Add a Download button.
Source of truth is the persisted job_logs table — works any time
(running or finished) and doesn't need to pause the live WS stream.
The download is 'everything the server has up to right now'; if the
operator wants a fuller snapshot of a still-running job, they hit
Download again.
- New endpoint GET /api/jobs/{id}/log.{txt,ndjson} (chi {format}
matcher constrained to the two known suffixes). Auth via session
cookie. 404 on unknown job.
- internal/server/http/job_download.go writeLogsText emits a small
header + 'HH:MM:SS.mmm TAG payload' rows mirroring what the live
page shows. writeLogsNDJSON emits one self-contained {seq,ts,stream,
payload} JSON object per line — appending stays valid (each line
stands alone), and the whole file pipes cleanly into jq. NDJSON is
newline-delimited JSON; not the same as a JSON array.
- web/templates/pages/job_detail.html grows two header buttons:
'Download log' (txt) + '.ndjson' ghost variant for tooling.
Tests cover the txt format (header + per-row shape), the ndjson
format (each line round-trips through json.Unmarshal), unknown job
404, unauthenticated 401.
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)
