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.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install 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.
