JDownloader 2 — a powerful, cross-platform download manager. It grabs direct links and one-click-hoster links, handles link decryption and captcha assistance, resumes and parallelizes downloads, and can be driven remotely via My.JDownloader. This pack runs it as a browser-streamed GUI (no VNC client needed).
Single host-networked Nomad service with config and output volumes.

Open the GUI in your browser and (optionally) sign in with a My.JDownloader account for remote control. The GUI has no auth by default — put it behind an authenticating reverse proxy over TLS if exposed. Pin the job to the node holding the volumes with
constraints.
