Are configs compatible when using both duplicacy CLI and duplicacy-web concurrently

[nandan]

On this forum, a lot of the advanced usage scenario instructions seem to use duplicacy CLI. Is there an article outlining how to use both duplicacy-web and -cli in a way that they share the same config and don’t step over each other? I couldn’t find it in the FAQ, though after much gnashing of keywords I did find this article [1] which makes it seem like it’s difficult/brittle.

Could someone comment if this is a commonly supported scenario? Or is this kind of usage perhaps covered in a duplicacy-utils package?

[1] CLI and WebUI - why don't they know each other?

Edit:

I also found this [2] and was reminded of my original questions:

• “Are configs compatible between -web and -cli usage”
  OR
• "Can a .duplicacy folder be ln -s'ed to the corresponding ~/.duplicacy-web/sub/tree"

[2] Web Gui can't open existing repository

Web GUI cannot import or inherit the CLI directory but you definitely can use CLI manually if you started with web GUI:

Duplicacy cli and duplicacy web

You just need to cd to the repository directory and run the CLI from there. The repository directory for backups is ~/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhost/n where n is the index of the backup, and ~/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhost/all for other commands.
