Thank You. I install GUI now [duplicati-2.1.2.0\_beta\_2025-08-20-linux-x64-gui.deb]. So it’s like server? and on other machines I can install agents packages?  
Regards.

Not really… each Duplicati instance is stand-alone and runs by itself.  
You can run it as either the GUI (with a small tray icon) or as the Server (has a web-based UI) or as the Agent, which connects to the [Duplicati console](https://app.duplicati.com).

The different ways are described in a bit more detail here:
