Uptime Kuma — a self-hosted uptime/status monitoring tool (HTTP, TCP, ping, DNS, and more) with a slick dashboard and alerting. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent Docker 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:
uptime_kuma_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/uptime_kuma_data/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/uptime_kuma_data/_data backup:<bucket>/uptime_kuma_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.
