This pack stores data in one Docker named volume:
activemq_data
restic
# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first: # export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>" # export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>" # export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key> AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret> restic backup \ /var/lib/docker/volumes/activemq_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/activemq_data/_data backup:<bucket>/activemq_data
Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.
Apache ActiveMQ Artemis is a high-performance, multi-protocol message broker. One broker speaks AMQP, MQTT, STOMP, OpenWire and core JMS, with durable queues and topics, large-message and flow control, clustering, and a web management console (Hawtio) for queues, addresses and diagnostics.
This pack runs ActiveMQ Artemis as a single host-networked Nomad service.
nomad-pack run activemq --registry=nomploy \
--var admin_password=$(openssl rand -hex 16)
