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
Edit the configuration file to set your desired options (such as data directory, authentication, TLS, etc.).
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.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install restic-server, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install restic-server
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
