#resticprofile — Public Fediverse posts

Maybe I'm blind but is there any way to monitor a running #resticProfile job?

I know for a plain #restic process I could keep a watcher attached to stdout and tell it to send me json status updates.

From what I gather resticprofile can toggle pre/post/success/fail hooks and write a statusfile after a job is done - I'm mainly interested in how far along a job is though..

@stfn I am also playing around with restic and it feels intuitive. Love that it can use rclone.

I tried to set a global exclude file variable (as I assumed it would exist when you can set the repo and encryption key) and saw the discussion [1] around environment variables (since 2017). Sadly no exclude file var in sight.

I found resticprofile [2] that comes to the rescue. Has exactly what I was looking for.

@schenklklopfer Absolut. Kennst du schon den freundlichen Wrapper rund um #Restic namens #resticprofile?

@bent0_b0x So Moin, etwas Zeit gefunden. Der Thread wird etwas länger. 😇
Der jetzige Stand hat sich über Jahre entwickelt und es gab immer wieder Veränderungen.

TLDR:
- #nextcloud #selfhostet auf eigener Hardware im #homelab
- Passwort-Safes #keepass #keepassXC #bitwarden #vaultwarden
- #backup mit #restic und #resticprofile auf #s3 #verschlüsselt mit #deduplizierung auf #s3storage und externen Festplatten
- EMails über Dienstleister #managedHosting… (1/18)

After procrastinating for way too long, I have finally set up regular backups of my laptop and achieved the 3-2-1 strategy 🙌

But the reason I was procrastinating this is because I couldn't decide on a good #restic wrapper! And, to this day, none of the options appeal to me

- #Backrest can't do stdin, --keep-within-*, and passwords from command
- #autorestic can't do stdin, and scheduled check/forget
- #resticprofile is too complicated and has a different mental model
