Resticity - a cross-platform frontend for restic

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
  
  Resticprofile is also a good one, and supports windows.
  
  I tried it and it didn’t work well for me (can’t remember why, it was awhile ago).

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

Awesome, I'm just getting into restic!

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.

Awsome, nice work! Ill try it out sometime

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