ezBookkeeping — a lightweight, self-hosted personal finance and bookkeeping app: accounts, transactions, categories, budgets and reports, with multi-currency and a mobile-friendly UI. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service with SQLite storage.
Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

# 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/ezbookkeeping_data/_data \ /var/lib/docker/volumes/ezbookkeeping_storage/_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.
ezBookkeeping is a lightweight, self-hosted personal finance and bookkeeping app — accounts, transactions, categories, budgets and reports, with multi-currency support and a mobile-friendly UI (and a PWA).
This pack runs ezBookkeeping as a single host-networked Nomad job with SQLite storage — no external database is required.
nomad-pack run ezbookkeeping --registry=nomploy
Then open http://<node-ip>:8080 and create the first account.

Web UI host port |
secret_key |
change me | Auth token signing key — keep stable |
Change secret_key to a long random value before deploying anywhere real and keep it
stable across deploys.
Data persists in the ezbookkeeping_data (SQLite) and ezbookkeeping_storage (uploads)
named volumes. For MySQL/PostgreSQL instead of SQLite, or other options, override the
EBK_* environment variables per the ezBookkeeping configuration docs.
