Above was an invent-it-yourself install to bypass AUR. Might be easier to work with AUR.

Clues currently on the front page for Canary, and same clues probably apply to the Beta.

More clues:

I suspect several of the why-did-my-AUR-update-break-Duplicati have to do with unit files.  
I don’t run Linux much, but have had to learn some systemd. Are you good with systemd?

[Modify systemd unit file without altering upstream unit file](https://serverfault.com/questions/840996/modify-systemd-unit-file-without-altering-upstream-unit-file)  
[Modify systemd Config Without Touching Upstream Unit File](https://www.baeldung.com/linux/systemd-modify-config)  
[How to Change the Default Editor for Editing Unit Files in Linux](https://www.baeldung.com/linux/systemd-unit-file-editor)

might be the thing to do to customize the unit file with lower chance of overwrite on update.
