Gogs — a painless, lightweight self-hosted Git service with a tiny footprint (single binary, SQLite by default): repositories, issues, pull requests, wikis and webhooks. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service.
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:
gogs_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/gogs_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/gogs_data/_data backup:<bucket>/gogs_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.
Gogs is a painless, self-hosted Git service designed to be lightweight — it runs as a single binary with a tiny memory footprint and uses SQLite by default, so it's happy on the smallest hardware. It offers repositories, issues, pull requests, wikis, webhooks, and a clean web UI.
This pack runs Gogs as a single host-networked Nomad service.
nomad-pack run gogs --registry=nomploy
Open http://<node-ip>:3000 and complete the one-time install form (the SQLite
defaults work as-is), then create the admin account.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
image |
gogs/gogs:latest |
Container image (pin a tag in production). |
http_port |
3000 |
Host port for the web UI. |
ssh_port |
2222 |
Git-over-SSH port (kept off 22 / the host sshd). |
data_volume |
gogs_data |
Volume for repos, SQLite DB and config (/data). |
resources |
300 MHz / 256 MB | CPU and memory for the task. |
Everything (repositories, database, config) persists in data_volume. For
larger instances you can point Gogs at an external MySQL/PostgreSQL during the
install step instead of SQLite.
