Notes & docs

DumbPad — a stupidly simple, no-database notepad in your browser with autosave and optional PIN protection. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service.

nomad-pack run dumbpad --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- dumbpad

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: dumbpad_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/dumbpad_data/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/dumbpad_data/_data backup:<bucket>/dumbpad_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.

Readme

dumbpad

DumbPad — a stupidly simple, no-database notepad in your browser. Open it, type, and it autosaves; keep multiple named notes, switch between them, and optionally lock it behind a PIN. No accounts, no clutter — just a scratchpad that persists to disk.

Single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run dumbpad --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`3000`	Web UI port (`PORT`).
`pin`	`""`	Optional PIN, 4–10 digits (`DUMBPAD_PIN`). Empty = no auth.
`base_url`	`""`	Public URL (`BASE_URL`). Empty = `http://localhost:<port>`.
`site_title`	`DumbPad`	Header title (`SITE_TITLE`).
`image`	`dumbwareio/dumbpad:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`data_volume`	`dumbpad_data`	`/app/data` — your notes.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

Set a pin (or put it behind an authenticating reverse proxy) before exposing it — with no PIN, anyone who can reach the port can read and edit your notes. A prestart init task chowns the data volume to uid 1000. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
