How To Use

Desktop

# Run in GUI mode
$ resticity

# Run in background mode (useful for autostart)
$ resticity --background

# Run with custom configuration path
$ resticity --config /path/to/config.json

Docker

Note

Make sure to set the hostname for the container since it gets changed after each restart.

# Run within Docker
# Add the paths that you want resticity to grant access to
$ docker run -d --name resticity -h myHostnameChangeMe -p 11278:11278 -v /path/to/config.json:/config.json -v /mnt:/mnt -v /home:/home ghcr.io/ad-on-is/resticity

Docker compose

version: "3"
services:
  reseticity:
  image: ghcr.io/ad-on-is/resticity
  container_name: resticity
  hostname: myHostnameChangeMe
  ports:
    - 11278:11278
  volumes:
    - /mnt:/mnt # Add the paths that you want resticity to grant access to
    - /home:/home
    - /path/to/config.json:/config.json # changeMe

Configuration

Resticity looks for a configuration file in the following order:

1. Custom file location with the --config path/to/config.json flag
2. RESTICITY_SETTINGS_FILE environment variable
3. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/resticity/config.json

Troubleshooting

Set RESTICITY_LOG_LEVEL=debug as environment variable for detailed debug messages (and log files).

Warning

This produces larger log files, so it is advised not to run it in production.
