restic-server

This snap packages the REST server backend for Restic.

Configuration and Daemon Management

To simplify management of the REST server daemon, a configuration file (rest-server.conf) is provided in the snap package. This file allows you to easily customize the behavior of the REST server without modifying the wrapper script or service definition.

Location

The configuration file is located at:

/var/snap/restic-server/common/rest-server.conf

Usage

1. Edit the configuration file to set your desired options (such as data directory, authentication, TLS, etc.).
2. After making changes, restart the daemon to apply the new configuration:

  sudo snap restart restic-server

The wrapper script (rest-server-wrapper.sh) automatically loads and applies the settings from rest-server.conf when starting the REST server.

This approach makes it easy to manage and update the service configuration, ensuring changes are persistent and straightforward.
