Hi,
I would like to deploy a Debian machine running a restic server and I’d like to use a barebone restic server without docker. Is there a step-by-step tutorial for that?
Thank you
Is the documentation here not enough?
Download the rest-server binary for your platform, copy it to a location you wish it /usr/local/bin/ being a good start. Grab a copy of the systemd template here and install and adjust to your requirements (i.e. where you put the binary, where you want the backups to go etc)
It’s a precompiled binary so doesn’t require much.
Personally I just run it using the dtach command like so (this is my crontab entry)
@reboot /usr/bin/dtach -n /tmp/rest-server /usr/local/bin/rest-server --path /home/tim/rest-server --no-auth --listen :4321 --log /home/tim/rest-server.log
Starts up automatically anytime I reboot my server for a kernel upgrade etc.

Hi Tim,
thank you for your message.
You’re right, I didn’t read the documentation 
Then I did it, installed GO and made the build and the crontab stuff.
