SFTPGo — a fully featured, self-hosted SFTP, FTP/S and WebDAV server with a web admin UI. Manage users and folders, set per-user quotas and bandwidth limits, use virtual/shared folders, and back accounts with local disk or object storage. Great for giving people or apps a secure file drop without exposing system accounts.
Single host-networked Nomad service exposing HTTP (admin/client UI) and SFTP, with persistent data and config volumes.

First run: open
http://<host>:8080/web/adminand create the admin account, then add users. A prestart init task chowns both volumes to uid1000(SFTPGo runs unprivileged). Point clients at the SFTP port (2022). Pin the job to the node holding the volumes withconstraints.
