MinIO — a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage server. Store files, backups, and artifacts and access them with any S3 client or SDK, with a built-in web console for buckets and users. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent data volume.
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:
minio_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/minio_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/minio_data/_data backup:<bucket>/minio_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.
MinIO — a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage server. Use it as a drop-in S3 backend for backups, application uploads, build artifacts, and anything that speaks the S3 API, with a web console for managing buckets, users, and access keys.
Single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent /data volume.

root_user |
minioadmin |
MINIO_ROOT_USER (≥ 3 chars). |
root_password |
change-me-… |
MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD — change it (≥ 8 chars). |
data_volume |
minio_data |
/data — all buckets and objects. |
image |
minio/minio:latest |
Container image. Pin a tag in production. |
resources |
{ cpu = 500, memory = 512 } |
Task resources. |
Open the console at http://<node-ip>:9001, or point an S3 client at
http://<node-ip>:9000 (region us-east-1). Serves plain HTTP — front it with a reverse proxy for
TLS. This is a single-node deployment (great for backups/artifacts/app storage); pin it to the
node holding the volume with constraints. Pairs well with the backup pack (restic → S3).
