Hey guys,
I’ve been building a frontend for restic the past couple of weeks, and it’s at the stage where the app is finally ready and usable. So I wanted to share it with the world. Oh, and it’s FOSS of course.
It’s intended to be used either as a cross-platform desktop app (built using wails) or to be run in a Docker container, for homelab uses, etc.
PRs and feature requests are more than welcome :-)
Right now, I could also use some help for distributing it across the different platforms, AUR, Flatpak, etc.
I hope you guys like it. Cheers!
First im hearing of restic, Haven’t looked too much into it but it seems like it could be an alternative to rclone for me in some aspects
Sometimes. Depends what you’re backing up to. In some cases it would work in tandem with rclone.
I really like its architecture. The efficiency is really nice when pushing to the cloud and not making so many transactions.
I also like that with the rest-server you can configure it with append-only, so even if someone wants to encrypt or delete the data they are not able to modify the existing backup
This looks nice, good job!
On a related note, does anyone have any good reasons as to why I should be using Restic instead of Borg? (my Borg backups are all local btw - generally they’re snapshots of various projects I’m working on, so I don’t need any cloud features).
I use restic but I switched from Borg because of the cloud features. Outside of that, there’s not a lot of differences really. If you’re happy with Borg keep with it.
