Closes the P1-21 remainder.
internal/server/ws/jobhub.go — new JobHub. Per-job_id set of
subscribers; each gets a 64-deep buffered channel with a writer
goroutine. Broadcast is non-blocking: if a subscriber is slow,
its channel fills and messages are dropped for that subscriber
only — the agent's read loop is never blocked by a stuck browser.
The agent dispatchAgentMessage path mirrors job.started /
job.progress / log.stream / job.finished envelopes onto the hub
in addition to its existing persistence work. The wire shape is
the same end-to-end, so client-side JS switches on env.type the
same way Go code does.
GET /api/jobs/{id}/stream is the browser endpoint. Auth via
session cookie (HTTP layer); upgrade; subscribe; pump until
context closes.
GET /jobs/{id} renders the live log page. Three states (queued/
running/succeeded/failed) drive the header pill, the progress
bar block, the failure summary panel, and the action button
(Cancel job while running, Back to host afterwards). Already-
persisted log lines are server-rendered on initial load; new
lines arrive over the WS and append to #log-stream. Auto-scrolls
unless the user scrolls up (a "⇢ Follow" pill re-attaches).
On job.finished the page reloads after 600ms to pick up the
final-state header rendered server-side.
POST /hosts/{id}/run-backup now sets HX-Redirect → /jobs/{job_id}
on success so HTMX lands the operator straight on the live log.
For non-HTMX callers (curl / plain form post) it 303s to the
same target.
store.ListJobLogs returns persisted log lines for initial render
on page load.
Browser-verified end-to-end: enrol → run a real backup against a
sibling restic/rest-server → live progress + 11 log lines stream
in → succeeded pill + final stats land after page reload.

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)
