If you're like me and love not only to self-host, but to constantly test new apps, you probably already discovered docker-compose as the fastest and easiest way towards that goal. There is, however, one problem: not all image authors are as great as linuxserver.io, whose docs are as simple as they should be: you just copy & paste docker-compose.yml and run docker-compose up -d and IT JUST WORKS!
This is how all images should be documented!
But unfortunately, it isn't!
Sometimes you have to spend a lot of time to make it work.
Hence - this repo.
The aims is to provide a ready-to-run recipes that you can just copy, paste and run.

• There are certain things that some recipes need which cannot be filled in due to security reasons.
  • example.com needs to be replaced with your own domain
  • username, password, etc. - should be replaced by your username & password
  • keys (like APP_KEY, SECRET etc.) should be regenerated using e.g. openssl rand -base64 32
• Not all apps have been tested & described. These are marked as 🔗 (external links).
