Starter Docker Compose files I've made for various self-hosted applications. Some eventually become full projects, while others are useful references or simple demos. 🐋

System

Docker Engine x86_64
Docker Compose v2
VSCode + Docker extension

• All docs are written for Docker Engine / CLI
• Currently using Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, and Amazon Linux 2023
  • Look out for any OS specific notes
  • Always using latest releases
• Can't guarantee everything works on ARM based machines

Preferences

• docker-compose.yml for everything, if possible
• Consistent code layout, structure, and naming patterns
• No hard coded secrets
• Run as non-root user
• Bind Mounts (some volumes)
• Traefik Reverse Proxy
• Include configuration without proxy
• Use environment variables, and labels
• Separate .gitignore files within directories
• Continue to learn and implement best practices
• Documentation
