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 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.

      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.

        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.

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

      • adONisOP

        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

      • adONisOP
        1•1 year ago

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

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

      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.
