# 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>

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/babybuddy_config/_data backup:<bucket>/babybuddy_config

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.

Readme

babybuddy

Baby Buddy is a self-hosted tracker for caregivers — log a baby's sleep, feedings, diaper changes, tummy time, pumping and more, with timers, charts and daily summaries.

This pack runs Baby Buddy as a single host-networked Nomad job (the maintained LinuxServer image) with SQLite storage in the babybuddy_config volume — no external database is required.

Quick start

nomad-pack run babybuddy --registry=nomploy

Then open http://<node-ip>:8000 and sign in with the default account admin / admin — change the password immediately.

Configuration

Variable	Default	Notes
`port`	`8000`	Web UI host port
`csrf_trusted_origins`	`http://localhost:8000`	Add your public URL(s), comma-separated
`timezone`	`UTC`	Container timezone
`puid` / `pgid`	`1000`	File ownership on the config volume

When serving Baby Buddy on a domain, add that URL to csrf_trusted_origins or form submissions (login, logging entries) will be rejected. Data persists in the babybuddy_config named volume.
