Docker Compose Stack

This repository holds a collection of Docker Compose YAML files used as parts of the current service stack. The compose files are stored in the ComposeFiles/ directory. Each compose_*.yaml file defines one service or a small group of services that you can run independently or together to assemble the full environment.

What The Stack Is For

• Provides reproducible service configurations for local development, testing, and lightweight deployments.
• Lets you start individual services (e.g., Nextcloud, Immich, Watchtower) without running the entire environment.
• Acts as a catalog of curated compose files you can adapt for your projects.

Why This Is Useful

• Quick way to spin up a single service with all its dependencies.
• Versioned YAML files make configuration explicit and portable.
• Useful for demos, local labs, and composing small multi-container setups.

Repository Structure

• ComposeFiles/: directory containing the compose YAML files used by this stack.

Contents of ComposeFiles/:

• ComposeFiles/compose_aliasvault.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_arr.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_fmd.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_forgejo.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_immich.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_kuma.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_molly.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_nginxpm.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_ollama.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_snapotter.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_stalwart.yaml
• ComposeFiles/compose_watchtower.yaml

Each file in ComposeFiles/ is focused on a single service or related set of services — inspect the file to see the containers, volumes, networks, and environment variables that it defines.

How To Get Started

Prerequisites

• Docker Engine (compatible with Docker Compose v2)
• Optional: docker-compose CLI if you prefer it over the built-in docker compose

1) Choose a Compose File

Pick the service you want to run from the list above (for example ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml).

2) Start The Service

Run one of these commands from the repository root:

# using Docker Compose v2 (recommended)
docker compose -f ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml up -d

# or, if you have the separate docker-compose binary
docker-compose -f ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml up -d

3) Stop And Remove

docker compose -f ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml down

Replace compose_nextcloud.yaml above with whichever file you want to run.

Quick Usage Example

1. Start a service: docker compose -f ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml up -d.
2. Inspect logs: docker compose -f ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml logs -f.
3. Stop the stack: docker compose -f ComposeFiles/compose_nextcloud.yaml down.
