Works just fine on my end.

Could you provide the output of "systemctl --user status duplicati"?

Curious if anyone else is having issues with most recent version? systemctl start duplicati --user [duplicati isn't starting]

@joolsr1 You'd have to use the "drop-in" feature of systemd(https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html).

Simply create a directory called duplicati.service.d/ with mkdir /usr/lib/systemd/system/duplicati.service.d and create a config file, say emacs 00-RunDuplicatiAsRoot.conf with contents [Service] User=root Group=root

Sorry for the delay, I didn't see your message before... I have sent an email detailing the procedure in case you're not following this comment thread anymore.

That's weird. What does "echo $DISPLAY" output?

I was getting "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" when logging in with the duplicati-user.service enabled. The fix was to add a new line with "Environment=DISPLAY=:0" inside the [Service] section, right after the "ExecStart=" line. Perhaps you can add this to the package, thanks!

Thanks this will be helpful. Also if I just want to run the web server as root (shudder), what do I need to edite to allow user=root, group=root as mentioned before?

@joolsr1, When you're running duplicati with different user, than your "normal" one, you have to make that files accessible to duplicati. You can do that in three ways: 1. Create separate group for backups, let's say, named backup. Add your user to this group, add duplicati user to this group and run duplicati with this group instead of duplicati. Then, you have to set group for your files to backup and chmod g+rwx them. 2. Use mount --bind for your backup directory to bind your folder with appropiate permissions

Hi After the recent upgrade I had no config but the Duplicati web service was running fine. I moved the config from :- /root/.config/Duplicati to /var/lib/duplicati/.config/Duplicati but I get errors when a backup tries to run as the Duplicati user can't access files of my normal user. I saw the commit in the chnage log ie 'To run Duplicati.Server.exe as root, simply use systemd's "drop-in" feature and specify User=root Group=root' but I don't know how to do this. Please help! These changes are not trivial to lesser mortals who are not necessarily developers ;-)

The new release adds the "duplicati-cli" alias, as shown in https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/wiki/Headless-installation-on-Debian-or-Ubuntu and requested by @magratheaner.
