Removed /.docker (small, contains registry auth config worth keeping)
and /Library/Parallels (small app support; the actual VM disks live in
~/Parallels) from the default excludes.
Added recommended excludes for data that should never be backed up:
- Language/toolchain caches (npm, cargo, rustup, go modules, maven,
vagrant boxes, node_modules, __pycache__, .venv)
- VM disk images (Parallels, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, OrbStack, UTM)
- Downloaded LLM models (ollama, LM Studio)
- Cloud-synced storage (~/Library/CloudStorage, iCloud Drive) — synced
elsewhere, and dataless placeholder files would be force-downloaded
- Android SDK and emulator images
The init-generated config now ships with a comprehensive home snapshot
exclude list (caches, trash, cloud-synced data, rebuildable app state,
device backups) derived from a battle-tested rsync backup script, plus
an apps snapshot for /Applications excluding Apple-redownloadable apps
(Safari, GarageBand, iWork, iMovie) and large third-party installs.
Obsolete pre-Catalina app entries (Dashboard, iTunes, DVD Player, etc.)
were dropped — OS apps live in /System/Applications on modern macOS and
never appear in /Applications.
Adds a test asserting the template parses as valid YAML with the
expected snapshot structure.
New init command writes a default config file with commented
explanations for every setting. Uses XDG config directory via
github.com/adrg/xdg for platform-appropriate paths:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/vaultik/config.yml
Linux: ~/.config/vaultik/config.yml
root: /etc/vaultik/config.yml
Config resolution now searches the XDG path before /etc/vaultik/.
Refuses to overwrite an existing file. Created with 0600 permissions.
README quickstart rewritten as a single copy-pasteable shell block
walking through install, keygen, init, edit, first backup, verify,
and cron setup.
