Docker Compose VPS Template

A template compose.yaml to self host various applications on a server/VPS using Docker Compose with Traefik as a reverse proxy.

You can use the Always Free resources of Oracle to set this up. Here is a set up guide I made for that.

A full start-to-finish guide, which assumes you start from scratch, can be found on my site here.

It will go through setting up an Oracle VPS for free, installing Docker, and then a guide on using this compose.yaml.

If you know what you're doing, then this is the general guide:

1. Ensure docker is installed per https://get.docker.com
2. Clone this repository and cd into it:

   git clone https://github.com/Viren070/docker-compose-vps-template.git docker-apps
   cd docker-apps
   

3. Open the .env file using:

   nano .env
   

4. Fill in all the values, making sure to read all the comments, and filling in any other files that are mentioned.
5. Run this command:

   docker compose up -d
   

   • You can check the compose.yaml or the full guide above to see what profiles are available.
   • Ensure you defined the COMPOSE_PROFILES environment variable in the .env file, otherwise only the default services will be started.
     • You can also use the --profile flag e.g. docker compose --profile stremio --profile seanime up -d
   • Ensure port 443 and port 80 is open
   • Ensure you have DNS records that handle each hostname you are making use of which will point the hostname to the public IP of your server
   • Ensure you follow the instructions in the .env for any additional instructions that need to be carried out for some services (e.g. adding the prowlarr/jackett api keys or editing Seanime's config.toml)
