Back up this pack

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume: metube_downloads

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/metube_downloads/_data

rclone (sync to S3/R2)

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/metube_downloads/_data backup:<bucket>/metube_downloads

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

metube

MeTube — a clean, self-hosted web UI for yt-dlp. Paste a video or playlist URL, choose the format and quality, and it downloads straight to your server — great for archiving talks, music, and playlists to your own storage.

Single host-networked Nomad service with a downloads volume.

Deploy

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

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`8081`	Web UI port (`PORT`).
`downloads_volume`	`metube_downloads`	`/downloads` — where files are saved.
`uid` / `gid`	`1000` / `1000`	Ownership of downloaded files (`UID`/`GID`).
`image`	`ghcr.io/alexta69/metube:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`resources`	`{ cpu = 500, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

Paste a URL and download; files land in the downloads_volume (point a media pack like jellyfin or navidrome at them). MeTube has no authentication — keep it internal or behind an authenticating reverse proxy, and only download content you have the rights to. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
