Bug fixes from the Playwright sweep against the live smoke server:
1. Snapshot-picker layout. The .snap-row class was used in the wireframe
but never landed in web/styles/input.css; rows rendered as vertical
blocks instead of a 6-column grid. Added the token (mirrors host-row
shape with restore-specific column widths).
2. Tree expansion. hx-target='closest .tree-row + .tree-children' isn't
a valid HTMX selector — modifiers don't chain. Replaced HTMX-driven
expansion with a small window.__rmTreeToggle helper that uses plain
fetch + .tree-pair wrapper structure for trivial sibling lookup.
Caches loaded state per node.
3. --no-ownership flag dropped. Restic 0.17 introduced --no-ownership;
0.16 rejects it ('unknown flag') before doing any work. Since the
agent runs as root in the systemd unit, restored files keep their
original uid/gid either way and the parent dir is root-owned, so
the 'cp without sudo' rationale doesn't hold. Drop the flag entirely.
4. Default target dir moved to /var/lib/restic-manager/restore. The
systemd unit pins ReadWritePaths to /etc/restic-manager +
/var/lib/restic-manager (with ProtectSystem=strict making the rest
of /var read-only); writes to /var/restic-restore failed with
'read-only file system'.
5. Confirm summary HTML escaping. defaultTarget JS literal evaluates
to a string with literal angle brackets; insertion into innerHTML
must escape them. Added an inline HTML-escape pass.
tasks.md ticked for the Restore sub-phase with a sweep summary
covering the live end-to-end test.
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)
