Packages
|
||
********
|
||
|
||
Note that if at any point the package you’re trying to use is outdated, you
|
||
always have the option to use an official binary from the restic project.
|
||
|
||
These are up to date binaries, built in a reproducible and verifiable way, that
|
||
you can download and run without having to do additional installation work.
|
||
|
||
Please see the :ref:`official_binaries` section below for various downloads.
|
||
Official binaries can be updated in place by using the ``restic self-update``
|
||
command.

Official Binaries
|
||
*****************
|
||
|
||
Stable Releases
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
You can download the latest stable release versions of restic from the `restic
|
||
release page <https://github.com/restic/restic/releases/latest>`__. These builds
|
||
are considered stable and releases are made regularly in a controlled manner.
|
||
|
||
There's both pre-compiled binaries for different platforms as well as the source
|
||
code available for download. Just download and run the one matching your system.
|
||
|
||
The official binaries can be updated in place using the ``restic self-update``
|
||
command (needs restic 0.9.3 or later):
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ restic version
|
||
restic 0.9.3 compiled with go1.11.2 on linux/amd64
|
||
|
||
$ restic self-update
|
||
find latest release of restic at GitHub
|
||
latest version is 0.9.4
|
||
download file SHA256SUMS
|
||
download SHA256SUMS
|
||
download file SHA256SUMS
|
||
download SHA256SUMS.asc
|
||
GPG signature verification succeeded
|
||
download restic_0.9.4_linux_amd64.bz2
|
||
downloaded restic_0.9.4_linux_amd64.bz2
|
||
saved 12115904 bytes in ./restic
|
||
successfully updated restic to version 0.9.4
|
||
|
||
$ restic version
|
||
restic 0.9.4 compiled with go1.12.1 on linux/amd64
|
||
|
||
The ``self-update`` command uses the GPG signature on the files uploaded to
|
||
GitHub to verify their authenticity. No external programs are necessary.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: Please be aware that the user executing the ``restic self-update``
|
||
command must have the permission to replace the restic binary.
|
||
If you want to save the downloaded restic binary into a different file, pass
|
||
the file name via the option ``--output``.
|
||
|
||
Unstable Builds
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
Another option is to use the latest builds for the master branch, available on
|
||
the `restic beta download site
|
||
<https://beta.restic.net/?sort=time&order=desc>`__. These too are pre-compiled
|
||
and ready to run, and a new version is built every time a push is made to the
|
||
master branch.
|
||
|
||
Windows
|
||
=======
|
||
|
||
On Windows, put the `restic.exe` binary into `%SystemRoot%\\System32` to use restic
|
||
in scripts without the need for absolute paths to the binary. This requires
|
||
administrator rights.
|
||
|
||
Docker Container
|
||
****************
|
||
|
||
We're maintaining a bare docker container with just a few files and the restic
|
||
binary, you can get it with `docker pull` like this:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ docker pull restic/restic
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
| Another docker container which offers more configuration options is
|
||
| available as a contribution (Thank you!). You can find it at
|
||
| https://github.com/Lobaro/restic-backup-docker
|
||
|
||
From Source
|
||
***********
|
||
|
||
restic is written in the Go programming language and you need at least
|
||
Go version 1.14. Building restic may also work with older versions of Go,
|
||
but that's not supported. See the `Getting
|
||
started <https://golang.org/doc/install>`__ guide of the Go project for
|
||
instructions how to install Go.
|
||
|
||
In order to build restic from source, execute the following steps:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ git clone https://github.com/restic/restic
|
||
[...]
|
||
|
||
$ cd restic
|
||
|
||
$ go run build.go
|
||
|
||
You can easily cross-compile restic for all supported platforms, just
|
||
supply the target OS and platform via the command-line options like this
|
||
(for Windows and FreeBSD respectively):
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ go run build.go --goos windows --goarch amd64
|
||
|
||
$ go run build.go --goos freebsd --goarch 386
|
||
|
||
$ go run build.go --goos linux --goarch arm --goarm 6
|
||
|
||
The resulting binary is statically linked and does not require any
|
||
libraries.
|
||
|
||
At the moment, the only tested compiler for restic is the official Go
|
||
compiler. Building restic with gccgo may work, but is not supported.
|
||
|
||
Autocompletion
|
||
**************
|
||
|
||
Restic can write out man pages and bash/fish/zsh compatible autocompletion scripts:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ ./restic generate --help
|
||
|
||
The "generate" command writes automatically generated files (like the man pages
|
||
and the auto-completion files for bash, fish and zsh).
|
||
|
||
Usage:
|
||
restic generate [flags] [command]
|
||
|
||
Flags:
|
||
--bash-completion file write bash completion file
|
||
--fish-completion file write fish completion file
|
||
-h, --help help for generate
|
||
--man directory write man pages to directory
|
||
--zsh-completion file write zsh completion file
|
||
|
||
Example for using sudo to write a bash completion script directly to the system-wide location:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ sudo ./restic generate --bash-completion /etc/bash_completion.d/restic
|
||
writing bash completion file to /etc/bash_completion.d/restic
|
||
|
||
.. note:: The path for the ``--bash-completion`` option may vary depending on
|
||
the operating system used, e.g. ``/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/restic``
|
||
in Debian and derivatives. Please look up the correct path in the appropriate
|
||
documentation.
