Ryot (Roll Your Own Tracker) — a self-hosted tracker for everything you consume: movies, TV, books, video games, podcasts, audiobooks, manga and more, with rich stats and reminders. Batteries-included with a bundled PostgreSQL. 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:
ryot_db
⚠ This pack bundles a database. A cold copy of the volume can be inconsistent — for a reliable backup, dump the DB (pg_dump / mysqldump) or stop the job while backing up.
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/ryot_db/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/ryot_db/_data backup:<bucket>/ryot_db
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.

Ryot runs database migrations automatically on start; the first account you register becomes the owner. Because Postgres holds all your data, pin the job to the node holding the volume with
constraintsand back it up.
