DocuSeal — an open-source document signing platform (a self-hosted DocuSign alternative): build fillable PDF forms, send them for signature, and collect legally-binding e-signatures, with an API and audit log. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service using SQLite with a persistent data volume.
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:
docuseal_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/docuseal_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/docuseal_data/_data backup:<bucket>/docuseal_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.

Single host-networked Nomad service using SQLite with a persistent data volume.
nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run docuseal --registry=nomploy
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
port |
3026 |
Web UI port (PORT). |
secret_key_base |
change-me-… |
SECRET_KEY_BASE — signs sessions/cookies. Change it (openssl rand -hex 64). |
data_volume |
docuseal_data |
/data — SQLite database and uploaded documents. |
image |
docuseal/docuseal:latest |
Container image. Pin a tag in production. |
resources |
{ cpu = 500, memory = 512 } |
Task resources. |
On first run, open the UI to create the admin account. Uses SQLite by default; to switch to PostgreSQL,
add a DATABASE_URL env var to the task. To email signing requests, configure SMTP (SMTP_ADDRESS,
SMTP_PORT, SMTP_USERNAME, SMTP_PASSWORD). Serves plain HTTP — front it with a reverse proxy for TLS.
Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
