DBGate — a web-based database manager for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, SQLite, Redis, and more in one GUI: browse and edit data, run queries, design tables, and export/import. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent volume for saved connections.
Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume:
dbgate_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/dbgate_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/dbgate_data/_data backup:<bucket>/dbgate_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.

Add connections from the web UI; co-located databases on the same node are reachable at
127.0.0.1. You can also predefine connections with CONNECTIONS / LABEL_* / SERVER_* env vars
(see the DBGate docs). The UI is unauthenticated by default — keep it internal, front it with a
reverse proxy, or set LOGIN / PASSWORD env vars to require a login. Pin the job to the node
holding the volume with constraints.
