This comes from suggestion on issue https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/issues/6056
The chosen argument was --json which produces a json that wraps the result with extended properties such as in example:
``
{
"Timestamp": "2025-03-28T15:47:01.3368160-03:00",
"UnixTimestamp": 1743187621,
"Command": "import",
"Success": true,
"ExitCode": 0,
"Messages": [
"Importing backup configuration from ../2-firstbacku.json",
"Connecting to http://127.0.0.1:8200/...",
"No database found in../data/",
"Imported \"firstbackup (5)\" with ID 8"
],
"Exceptions": [],
"Imported": {
"Id": "8",
"Name": "firstbackup (5)"
}
}
``
The documentation will reflect all commands and schemas as this makes its way into Canary
It should be noted that I was unable to completely remove IPv4 on Windows 11 to a state where it would not provide the 127.0.0.1 loopback, even when disabling Ipv4 in various ways, including with registry flags.
On ubuntu/linux, after completely disabling ipv4 the ipv6 loopback was returned.
Added support for `--portable-mode` and `--server-datafolder` for the CLI, ServerUtil, and Agent.
Fixed a few places where file reads were not cached properly.
Moved some responsibilities of UpdaterManager into DataFolderManager.
This now supports storing `machineid.txt` and `installation.txt` inside the path pointed to by `--server-datafolder` or alternatively with `--portable-mode`.
It is possible that some fringe backwards compatibility is lost with this update.
Fixed an issue with AutoUpdater crashing on check/download.
This fixes#5902
All CLI tools and executables now accept a unified set of help command variants:
"help", "/help","--help", "usage", "/usage", "--usage", "/h", "-h"
Affected executables:
Duplicati.Agent
Duplicati.CommandLine
Duplicati.CommandLine.AutoUpdater
Duplicati.CommandLine.BackendTester
Duplicati.CommandLine.BackendTool
Duplicati.CommandLine.ConfigurationImporter
Duplicati.CommandLine.SecretTool
Duplicati.CommandLine.Snapshots
Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon
Duplicati.Server
Duplicati.Service
Duplicati.WindowsService
Note that SharpAesCrypt command is not included in this because the parameter parsing is part of the SharpAesCrypt code base.
* Implemented support for emitting intermediate certificates from pfx files
* Added certificate check to crash earlier
* Fixed loading certificate on Windows
Kept the infrastructure to allow re-introducing it later if a better source for a device key is found.
Added support for not having any valid settings encryption key.
Added warnings if the user is running without a settings encryption key.
Added additional checks during startup to help with troubleshooting and configuring a setup with a settings encryption key.
Docker builds will now warn if no encryption key is set.
This fixes#5518
This commit adds the option to provide preload/preset options that change the default values for Duplicati's commandline or environment variables.
This fixes#5480
