resticweb

Basic WEB UI for the Restic backup application built for fun using Flask framework. Application still under development so parts are likely unfinished/broken.

The app can be run with the following steps for now:

• Install python3
• Install git (looks like it's required in order to build the pipenv virtual environment due to some packages being on github)
• Install pip
• Install pipenv by using pip
• Run pipenv install in the main project folder where the pipfiles are located. (ignore if psutil and few others fail to install on Linux, as they are only used on Windows)
• Run pipenv shell to start the virtual environment.
• python ./run.py or python3 ./run.py Will start flasks' built-in web server which will listen on port 8080
  • The port can be changed within the run.py file and the host can be removed if the server should not listen over the local network.
  • The debug parameter can be set to True to enable debugging, but I would also suggest turning off the auto_reloader as otherwise it will interfere with the scheduling thread.

Note: This app does not come with a restic executable. Download one from https://github.com/restic/restic for Windows or Linux and either add it to the PATH or add the executable under resticweb\engine folder and rename it to either 'restic' or 'restic.exe'.

Some pages have a little question mark button in the upper-right hand corner. Clicking it will open up a modal with more information about said page.
