⚠Review·Scanned 2/18/2026

This skill manages Duplicati backups via the Duplicati REST API, mapping backup names to job IDs and reporting status. It requires the DUPLICATI_TOKEN, instructs running local commands (duplicati-server, duplicati-server-util, git clone) and issues network calls to "$DUPLICATI_URL/api/v1/*".

# OpenClaw Duplicati Skill

A professional OpenClaw (Moltbot) skill for managing and monitoring Duplicati backup jobs. This skill is built for the modern Duplicati REST API (v2.1+) and uses secure JWT Bearer tokens for authentication.

🚀 Features

  • Modern Security: Uses 10-year "Forever Tokens" instead of passing raw passwords.
  • Natural Language Support: Ask for backups by name (e.g., "Start the SSD backup") and the skill handles the ID mapping.
  • Live Status Monitoring: Get real-time updates on backup phases (Scanning, Processing, Uploading).
  • Storage Insights: Automatically reports destination free space during status checks.
  • Log Parsing: Quickly retrieves and explains recent backup failures or warnings.

🛠 Installation

Clone this repository into your OpenClaw skills directory:

cd ~/.openclaw/skills
git clone [https://github.com/robnew/duplicati-skill

 Add the configuration to your openclaw.json (replacing with your specific values):

"duplicati": {
  "enabled": true,
  "env": {
    "DUPLICATI_URL": "[http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8200]",
    "DUPLICATI_TOKEN": "YOUR_GENERATED_FOREVER_TOKEN"
  }
}

🔑 How to Get Your API Token

Since Duplicati uses secure JWT tokens, you must generate a "Forever Token" to allow the OpenClaw agent to talk to the server.

1.Enable Token Issuance: On your Duplicati server, stop the service and restart it briefly with the enable flag:

If using systemd
sudo systemctl stop duplicati
duplicati-server --webservice-enable-forever-token=true

2.Generate the Token: In a second terminal on the same server, run the utility to issue your 10-year token:

duplicati-server-util issue-forever-token

Copy the long string it spits out. This is your DUPLICATI_TOKEN.

3.Cleanup: Stop the manual process (Ctrl+C) and restart your normal service:

sudo systemctl start duplicati

4.Configure OpenClaw: Add the token to your openclaw.json environment variables.
