Borg UI is a modern web-based interface for BorgBackup to manage backup operations through a clean and intuitive graphical environment. It removes the need to interact directly with Borg’s command-line interface, making it easier to create, monitor, and restore backups with minimal setup.
Designed for self-hosted environments, Borg UI runs as a lightweight service, typically via Docker, and supports both local and remote repositories. It provides full visibility into backup processes, along with tools for scheduling, notifications, and archive browsing, making it suitable for home labs, servers, and small-scale deployments.
This is free and open source software.
