Termix — a self-hosted SSH and remote-desktop (RDP/VNC) management hub: a terminal, tunnels, a server inventory and session recording in the browser. Deployed as an all-in-one host-networked Nomad job (the Termix app + a guacd sidecar for RDP/VNC).
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:
termix_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/termix_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/termix_data/_data backup:<bucket>/termix_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.
Termix is a self-hosted SSH and remote-desktop management hub — a browser terminal, SSH tunnels, an RDP/VNC client, a server inventory and session recording, all in one place.
This pack runs Termix all-in-one as a single host-networked Nomad job:
ghcr.io/lukegus/termix:latest)Both share the host network (so termix reaches guacd over 127.0.0.1) and the
termix_data volume (inventory, settings, session recordings, RDP drive). No external
database is required.
nomad-pack run termix --registry=nomploy
Then open http://<node-ip>:8080 and create the first admin account.

Termix stores the SSH/RDP/VNC credentials for the hosts you add, so treat it as
sensitive: keep it behind your VPN or a reverse proxy that enforces authentication, and
back up the termix_data volume regularly.
