Homer — a dead-simple, static dashboard for your self-hosted services, configured with a single YAML file and served as a fast static page. 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:
homer_assets
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/homer_assets/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/homer_assets/_data backup:<bucket>/homer_assets
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.
Homer is a very simple, static
dashboard (start page) for your self-hosted services. There's no database and no
build step: you describe your services, groups and links in a single config.yml
and Homer renders a fast, good-looking static page with search, themes, custom
icons and optional service status/ping.
This pack runs Homer as a single host-networked Nomad service.
nomad-pack run homer --registry=nomploy
Open http://<node-ip>:8080. Homer seeds an example config.yml into the assets
volume on first run — edit it to add your own services.
