## rclone serve restic
Serve the remote for restic's REST API.
### Synopsis
rclone serve restic implements restic's REST backend API
over HTTP. This allows restic to use rclone as a data storage
mechanism for cloud providers that restic does not support directly.
[Restic](https://restic.net/) is a command line program for doing
backups.
The server will log errors. Use -v to see access logs.
--bwlimit will be respected for file transfers. Use --stats to
control the stats printing.
### Setting up rclone for use by restic ###
First [set up a remote for your chosen cloud provider](/docs/#configure).
Once you have set up the remote, check it is working with, for example
"rclone lsd remote:". You may have called the remote something other
than "remote:" - just substitute whatever you called it in the
following instructions.
Now start the rclone restic server
rclone serve restic -v remote:backup
Where you can replace "backup" in the above by whatever path in the
remote you wish to use.
By default this will serve on "localhost:8080" you can change this
with use of the "--addr" flag.
You might wish to start this server on boot.
### Setting up restic to use rclone ###
Now you can [follow the restic
instructions](http://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#rest-server)
on setting up restic.
Note that you will need restic 0.8.2 or later to interoperate with
rclone.
For the example above you will want to use "http://localhost:8080/" as
the URL for the REST server.
For example:
$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/
$ export RESTIC_PASSWORD=yourpassword
$ restic init
created restic backend 8b1a4b56ae at rest:http://localhost:8080/
Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.
$ restic backup /path/to/files/to/backup
scan [/path/to/files/to/backup]
scanned 189 directories, 312 files in 0:00
[0:00] 100.00% 38.128 MiB / 38.128 MiB 501 / 501 items 0 errors ETA 0:00
duration: 0:00
snapshot 45c8fdd8 saved
#### Multiple repositories ####
Note that you can use the endpoint to host multiple repositories. Do
this by adding a directory name or path after the URL. Note that
these **must** end with /. Eg
$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user1repo/
# backup user1 stuff
$ export RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:http://localhost:8080/user2repo/
# backup user2 stuff
### Server options
Use --addr to specify which IP address and port the server should
listen on, eg --addr 1.2.3.4:8000 or --addr :8080 to listen to all
IPs. By default it only listens on localhost.
If you set --addr to listen on a public or LAN accessible IP address
then using Authentication if advised - see the next section for info.
--server-read-timeout and --server-write-timeout can be used to
control the timeouts on the server. Note that this is the total time
for a transfer.
--max-header-bytes controls the maximum number of bytes the server will
accept in the HTTP header.
#### Authentication
By default this will serve files without needing a login.
You can either use an htpasswd file which can take lots of users, or
set a single username and password with the --user and --pass flags.
Use --htpasswd /path/to/htpasswd to provide an htpasswd file. This is
in standard apache format and supports MD5, SHA1 and BCrypt for basic
authentication. Bcrypt is recommended.
To create an htpasswd file:
touch htpasswd
htpasswd -B htpasswd user
htpasswd -B htpasswd anotherUser
The password file can be updated while rclone is running.
Use --realm to set the authentication realm.
#### SSL/TLS
By default this will serve over http. If you want you can serve over
https. You will need to supply the --cert and --key flags. If you
wish to do client side certificate validation then you will need to
supply --client-ca also.
--cert should be a either a PEM encoded certificate or a concatenation
of that with the CA certificate. --key should be the PEM encoded
private key and --client-ca should be the PEM encoded client
certificate authority certificate.
