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.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
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.
