SEC.01
The playbook
The run starts read-only: the recon probes decide what happens next. The steps that follow are adapted to the distribution and state found — a real machine is rarely clean.
- 01reconrestic already installed?
- 02recondoes the source folder exist?
- 03actInstall resticverify
- 04actInitialize the repositoryverify
- 05actSchedule (${schedule})verify
SEC.02
What it verifies
Each step ships its own check. The run only moves on when the check passes, so what the recipe reports as done is what is actually on the server.
- 01verifyInstall resticVerified by
restic version - 02verifyInitialize the repositoryVerified by
true - 03verifySchedule (${schedule})Verified by
systemctl list-timers 2>/dev/null | grep -c restic

How a recipe runs in Servor
Servor is zero-knowledge: the platform cannot execute anything on its own. When you launch this recipe, a run reads the reconnaissance, plans the steps and asks for your approval. Each approved command is signed by your browser — with a key the server never sees — then relayed verbatim to the agent, which verifies the signature locally before executing.
search by intent — type “firewall”, get ufw
- 01Read-only reconnaissance before any change
- 02Every command signed by your browser, approved by you
- 03Each step verified before the run moves on, every run kept in the history

- 03Samba shareSamba file server (SMB). Destructive: creates a share and a user.
- 04Borg backupsBorgBackup + a scheduled encrypted backup of a folder.
- 05rclonerclone to sync to the cloud (S3, B2, Drive...).
