Schedules CRUD now takes {cron, enabled, source_group_ids[]} with cron
parsed via robfig/cron/v3 and group membership scoped to the host.
New source-groups CRUD lives at /api/hosts/{id}/source-groups; delete
refuses with 409 if any schedule still references the group, returning
the schedule list so the UI can prompt 'remove from these schedules
first.' Repo-maintenance GET/PUT manages forget/prune/check cadences
on host_repo_maintenance — no version bump, the server-side ticker
(P2R-06) drives execution.
Per-source-group Run-now (POST /hosts/{id}/source-groups/{gid}/run)
resolves the group's includes/excludes/retention/tag and dispatches a
backup command.run with the new structured CommandRunPayload fields
(Includes/Excludes/Tag). Old per-host /hosts/{id}/run-backup and
/hosts/{id}/init-repo return 410 Gone with a redirect message.
schedule_push.go is rebuilt: buildScheduleSetPayload assembles the
slim wire shape, pushScheduleSetOnConn ships it during the on-hello
window, pushScheduleSetAsync fires after every CRUD mutation, and
dispatchScheduledJob handles agent schedule.fire by iterating the
schedule's source groups and dispatching one backup per group with
actor_kind=schedule and scheduled_id pointing at the schedule.
Auto-init at first WS connect: when the host has repo creds bound and
no init job in its history, server dispatches restic init. Restic's
'config file already exists' soft-success means re-runs against an
existing repo no-op; we don't auto-retry on failure (operator triggers
re-init manually via the danger zone in P2R-09).
api.Schedule drops Kind/Paths/Excludes/Tags/RetentionPolicy/Manual etc.
in favour of {id, cron, enabled, source_groups: [...]}. The agent
scheduler stops checking sch.Manual; cmd/agent's backup dispatch reads
Includes/Excludes/Tag instead of Args.
Tests cover the new HTTP surface end-to-end: source-groups CRUD with
in-use refusal, schedule validation (bad cron / missing groups /
foreign group), repo-maintenance auto-seed and validation, the 410
route, and buildScheduleSetPayload's wire-shape correctness. Full
suite passes; smoke env exercises auto-init dispatch on hello,
async push after schedule create, and per-source-group Run-now
landing the right paths/excludes/tag at the agent.
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)
