Readeck — a lightweight, self-hosted read-it-later and bookmark app: save a link and it stores a clean, readable copy of the article (text, images, and highlights) so it stays available forever. A modern Pocket alternative. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service using SQLite 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:
readeck_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/readeck_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/readeck_data/_data backup:<bucket>/readeck_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.

Create the admin account on first run, then save links via the web UI, the bookmarklet, or a browser extension.
Articles are stored as clean readable copies in the data volume. Serves plain HTTP — front it with a reverse
proxy for TLS. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
