Use s3 like backend exclude rest-server like restic client will make rest-server a bridge between client and the backend with append-only support and user isolated repo

This is a duplicate of #39. That issue was closed, but I would actually be interested in reopening it. It would probably not be too hard to add pluggable filesystem backends with the new Repo abstraction.

@wojas what is the difference between this approach over rclone serve restic --append-only?

wojas commented 3 years ago

Ah, looks like rclone server restic is pretty feature complete.

With the current feature set there is no strong case for a rest-server S3 backend then. This might change in the future as we add new features to rest-server.

How to handle retention if rclone serve restic with --append-only is used?

Raboo commented 2 years ago

Kind of ugly but I would setup a second rclone serve restic without the --append-only maybe an endpoint that listens to loopback only and then you have a restic forget cronjob against the second rclone.
