[Martina Ferrari]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Martina Ferrari <***@debian.org>

* Package name : rest-server
Version : 0.13.0-1
Upstream Author : The restic backup program

Programming Lang: Go
Description : High performance HTTP server for Restic's REST backend API

Rest Server provides a secure and efficient way to backup data remotely,
using the restic backup client with rest: URLs.
.
To authenticate users, the server supports using a .htpasswd file, and
per-user private repositories can be enabled to restrict what each user can
access. It also supports using HTTPS as a transport instead of HTTP.
.
An append-only mode allows creation of new backups but prevents deletion
and modification of existing backups. It also supports
.
It can also expose Prometheus metrics, and a sample Grafana dashboard is
included in the package.
.
Rest Server uses exactly the same directory structure as local backend,
so you should be able to access it both locally and via HTTP, even
simultaneously.
