Restic User Interface

Community

Restic is certainly used most on the console. But one or the other may need a UI.

I taught myself a little Python & PyQT5, the result can be found here → Frank / restic-ui-public · GitLab

The program code should be far from perfect but it works. I hope :wink:

And thanks for Restic - the best backup tool!

I fixed this error with the command:

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install --upgrade pip

but I still have an init error

Unfortunately i don’t know what your problem is. I just tried the whole process again on my test machine. Debian 11 Bullseye with Linux Mint Cinnamon

Here my log for you → restic_ui - Pastebin.com

And please open an issue on gitlab.com if the problem persists. Thanks

Greetings

Nice job @FrankM !

Have you tried Relica? It’s a cross-platform UI for restic. It was developed by Matt Holt, author of Caddy Web server, CertMagic and more.
