Overview

• My infrastructure as code using Docker containers & docker-compose.
• This repository's goal is to provide assistance and guidance into the configuration of different services around home automation using compose.

Configuration Sections

Admin

Here you can find services I use mainly for administering my infrastructure:

1. Cloud9 - A compact web-based IDE I use daily to edit my different code and configurations.
2. Prune - A container used to do dome maintenance around docker objects such as images, unused volumes, etc.
3. Ouroboros - Auto-updater for docker containers.
4. Portainer - Simple yet powerful web-based container manager.

Getting Started

• In my setup, the configuration of all services reside under /volume1/Media/Config/name_of_service. This gives the advantage of keeping all configuration related to my docker infrastructure organized in one place which is easy to maintain and take backups.
• To try out one of the services:
  • Create docker-compose.yaml and copy the relevant service's configuration.
  • Wherever I refer to ${ENV_VAR} - create an .env file in the same folder as your docker-compose.yaml with your own values for the environment variables.
• Each of the services' configuration will be documented under their relevant sections:
  • Administration
  • Home Assistant
  • Media
  • Network
  • NextCloud
  • Traccar
