Vorta-Go

An implementation of Vorta in Golang to improve deployment and packaging.

Functional, but still missing some features. Use the Python version if you need something that works.

Progress

Borg Commands:

• init
• create
• info
• check
• extract
• mount
• delete
• diff
• list-archive
• list-repo
• prune
• umount and mount status
• version

Backend Functionality

• Keychain/SecretService
• Background scheduler
• Single App
• Read and parse existing SSH keys
• Create new SSH key
• Check Borg version for available features
• Tests
• Read list of WiFis
• Check Wifi before scheduled backup
• Password fallback to database
• Translations
• Notifications from scheduler
• Settings an related functionality (icon color, etc)
• Sparkle updates for macOS

Packaging (via Docker)

• macOS
• Ubuntu 19.04
• Debian 10
• Fedora 30
• Archlinux
• Windows?

Other issues:

• Exclusions
• Cancel button
• Backup status (icon, menu)
• Bug: exclusions are lost

Development

1. Follow the official steps to set up a Go project in Module Mode. E.g. for macOS

export GO111MODULE=on
go install -v -tags=no_env github.com/therecipe/qt/cmd/...
go mod vendor
git clone https://github.com/therecipe/env_darwin_amd64_513.git vendor/github.com/therecipe/env_darwin_amd64_513

2. Test app using $ qtdeploy -debug -uic=false -quickcompiler test
3. Package for deployment $ qtdeploy -uic=false -quickcompiler build or make darwin

Important folders:

• /ui has .ui files provided by Qt Designer
• /qml has icons and other assets

Deployment

See the Makefile for different deployment options. Needs Docker installed. E.g.

• $ make darwin
• $ make linux DISTRO=archlinux

For Linux, Qt5 is linked dynamically to match your distro's look and feel. Install required Qt5 packages like this:

• Ubuntu/Debian: $ apt install qt5-default libqt5qml5
• Archlinux: $ pacman -S qt5
• Fedora: $ yum install qt5-qtbase

Translations (work in progress)

• extract strings: lupdate -extensions ui ui/*.ui -ts qml/i18n/ui_en.ts
• merge .ts files: lconvert -i primary.ts secondary.ts -o complete.ts
• compile .ts to .qm: lrelease qml/i18n/ui_de.ts -qm qml/i18n/ui_de.qm
