GET /hosts/{id} renders the v1 host detail layout:
- persistent header: status dot (pulse if a job is in flight),
monospace name, tags, plus a metadata strip (os/arch, agent
version, restic version, "last seen Xs ago" or "online · last
heartbeat …").
- vitals strip: four tiles for last backup (status + relative
time), repo size, snapshot count, open alerts.
- sub-tabs: Snapshots is active; Jobs / Repo / Settings are
visible but inert until P2.
- snapshot table: short id, time (absolute), paths joined with
" · ", size, file count, restore button (disabled — wires up
in P3).
- right rail: run-now stack (backup live, forget/prune/check/
unlock disabled with the Phase tag), danger-zone remove panel
(also disabled for now).
Empty state: when a host has no snapshots yet, the table replaces
itself with a "no snapshots yet" prompt that includes the run-now
button (provided the agent is online).
Pagination cap of 50 most-recent snapshots; full pagination lands
when fleet sizes demand it.
Template helpers grew: comma() now accepts int / int32 / int64 so
templates don't fight Go's type inference; joinDot() concatenates
a []string with " · "; absTime() formats time.Time as
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS; the existing relTime() already accepts T or
*T after P1-27.
Browser-verified end-to-end with seeded fixture data.

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:

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)
