Resticity - a cross-platform frontend for restic (lemmy.world)

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!

Looks great. I’ll probably wait for a flatpak and try it out.

I’ve already automated Restic with bash scripts and systemd timers but… used to use Vorta with Borg and did like having a GUI.

You might like autorestic as an alternative to automating it with bash scripts

I tried it and it didn’t work well for me (can’t remember why, it was awhile ago).

Resticprofile is also a good one, and supports windows.

This looks perfect! I've been waiting for something like this because I really don't like interacting via CLI with my backups.

Going to give it a try, do you take donations? I'll send one if I end up using it!

[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Thank you, still working on my GH profile and donation page.

[–] Pete90@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

Awesome, I'm just getting into restic!

[–] rambos@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

Awsome, nice work! Ill try it out sometime

[–] Father_Redbeard@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

That looks nice! I tried to my brain wrapped around Restic CLI (and others) and just didn't click for my smooth brain. I'll have to try this.

Can I also use RClone with this? I use restic to backup daily, and RClone to back up the repo remotely. Would be great to have it integrated

[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Restic has a feature where you can copy snapshots from one repo to another, if that's what you mean

[–] spez_@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That could work but I'm worried about potential data corruption. RClone is well tested for sending data through the internet, even on the dogiest of connections

[–] ad_on_is@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Good point... I might add rclone as a feature later on.
