Comments say what a section installs or configures. Why not the distro package, why that directory, why a version is pinned — that belongs in the service README, where it can be read in full. Replaces the line under "Installing software in an image" that asked for the opposite.
composes
My docker compose collection — one directory per service, each self-contained. Tuned to my own setup rather than written as general-purpose templates.
Services are deployed through Coolify and Dokploy, which own what a standalone compose file would otherwise declare:
- No published ports. The platform attaches the container to its proxy network and maps a domain to the internal port. Publishing one would also expose it on the host.
- No
restart:policy. The platform manages the container lifecycle. - No
container_name:. Compose derives it from the directory.
Services that do publish ports or set restart: say so in their own README.
Layout
<service>/
compose.yml # the service definition
README.md # what it is, its variables, how it's wired
.env.example # required variables, committed
.env # real values, gitignored
Compose names the project after its directory, so code-server/ comes up as
the code-server project with its own network and volumes.
Usage
In Coolify or Dokploy, point a Docker Compose resource at the service directory
and set the environment variables from its .env.example.
Locally:
cd <service>
cp .env.example .env # then fill it in
docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f
docker compose down
.env is picked up automatically because it sits next to compose.yml. Never
commit it — the root .gitignore covers .env/*.env and re-includes
.env.example.
Services
Each links to its own README for variables, ports, and storage.
