tiennm99 7aafbd2d8b docs: name supporting services by role and track renames
Supporting containers are db, cache or a short role name; services
declare no networks since Coolify creates one per app. TODO lists the
services whose names still differ.

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, with Dokploy supported as an optional extra. The platform owns 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 container_name:. Compose derives it from the directory.

Every container does set restart: unless-stopped. Coolify would inject the same value on its own, but Dokploy leaves an omitted policy alone, which in its default compose mode means the container stays down after a reboot.

Services that publish ports or set container_name: 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 gitea/ comes up as the gitea project with its own network and volumes.

Each service README covers only its own service. Shared conventions live here and are not repeated or linked from a service, so editing one service never touches another's directory — each is a separate Coolify app deploying on a <service>/** watch path.

A service directory holds only what its deploy reads, so changing anything else never redeploys it. Known issues, troubleshooting and research for a service live in docs/<service>/, named after its directory; agent skills live in .claude/skills/.

Upstream sources

sources/ holds checkouts of the upstream repositories behind these images, cloned as sources/<owner>/<repo> when a service needs debugging against its real code. Only the empty directory is tracked; its contents are gitignored. The debug-service skill in .claude/skills/ walks through the process.

Usage

In Coolify or Dokploy, point a Docker Compose resource at the service directory and set the environment variables from its .env.example. To move an existing deployment and its data onto that resource, use the migrate-service skill in .claude/skills/.

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.
