Yamtrack — a self-hosted media tracker for movies, TV, anime, manga, video games and books (a Trakt / Simkl alternative): track what you watch and play, with ratings and progress. Deployed as an all-in-one host-networked Nomad job (the app on SQLite + a Redis sidecar for background tasks).
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:
yamtrack_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/yamtrack_db/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/yamtrack_db/_data backup:<bucket>/yamtrack_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.
Yamtrack is a self-hosted media tracker for movies, TV, anime, manga, video games and books — a Trakt / Simkl alternative. Track what you watch and play, with ratings, progress and statistics.
This pack runs Yamtrack all-in-one as a single host-networked Nomad job:
ghcr.io/fuzzygrim/yamtrack:latest), SQLite storageBoth share the host network and talk over 127.0.0.1, so no mesh networking is required.
Database migrations run automatically on first start.
nomad-pack run yamtrack --registry=nomploy
Then open http://<node-ip>:8000 and create the first account.

Web UI host port |

Change secret to a long random value before deploying anywhere real and keep it stable.
Add a TMDB / IGDB / MyAnimeList API key in the app settings to enable metadata lookups.
Data persists in the yamtrack_db named volume.
