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!

I've been trying to create an AUR package for this, but can't figure out how to build more than just the server backend (based off of the Dockerfile). Is there a way to build it without wails? I can't get that to work in the PKGBUILD.

Let's move this discussion over to GitHub, where I at least get the notifications for new messages.

I just made a PKGBUILD and commited it to the repo. Would you mind having a quick look at it and see if it's good enough?

Right now, I'm looking through the docs of the AUR on how to publish it.

Regarding how to publish the package, there are a few GitHub Actions that make it easy, like this one.

thank you, will look into it

Hi @[email protected] ! Thanks for resticity and your PKGBUILD. However, I have to modify it and replace "packaging/resticity.desktop" with "$startdir/resticity.png" and "packaging/resticity.desktop" with "$startdir/resticity.desktop"

Anyway, seems to works, I can push a backup, but when I go to repositories, resticity try to get snapshots (LOADING Snapshots) and failed with this error : "json: slice unexpected end of JSON input" Thanks for your help.

Thank you for making a PKGBUILD for this!

I just tried it, but I have the same issue when I was attempting to build mine:

I'm not familiar enough with wails to know how to build without it.

If you require it as a dependency, it would only work for Arch users with the AUR enabled, as it wails doesn't seem to be in the main repositories.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Oh wait... sorry, I forgot about it, but env GOBIN and GOPATH need to be set properly... and then wails should be invoked with $GOBIN/wails build

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Ah. I see that you're installing wails with go. I guess the problem is that $GOBIN may not be set for everyone, myself included.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Sorry, didn't see this comment... Yes, it's a $GOBIN issue... I've updated the PKGBUILD accordingly

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

wails is installed via go install, which I've included in the prepare script

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
