📄 Description

Hi, adding TimeNest under the Backups section.

What it is

TimeNest is a self-hosted network Time Machine server for macOS. Three-container Docker stack:

Samba 4.18 with `vfs_fruit` - per-user Time Machine shares with quota enforcement
Avahi - advertises the server over Bonjour as a `TimeCapsule8,119` so Finder picks it up natively
FastAPI + Jinja + htmx admin UI on port 8080 with Prometheus `/metrics`

Runs on Mac mini, Raspberry Pi 4/5, and generic `linux/amd64` or `linux/arm64` home servers via a single `docker compose up -d`.

Why it fits the Backups section

It is strictly backup software: the only job is to be the Time Machine target for Macs on a LAN. Comparable entries already listed (UrBackup, Minarca) cover similar multi-client network-backup territory for Windows/Linux/macOS.

License

MIT, no telemetry, no cloud dependency. Source at https://github.com/momenbasel/timenest

Happy to adjust the entry wording if the format needs to change.
