About make-my-server
make-my-server is a server configuration repository hosted on GitHub that uses Docker Compose with Traefik as a reverse proxy. Each service has its own folder with a Docker Compose file, configuration, data, and logs directories. Examples of included services are Nextcloud, Mastodon, PeerTube, Jellyfin, WordPress, GitLab, and Pi-hole.
You can copy the included .env.default file to .env and edit variables such as domain names, passwords, and credentials. Services are started with a docker-compose up command and stopped with docker-compose down. The project also includes a test script to check compose file validity and a yamllint setup for pull requests.
It suits people who are comfortable with Docker Compose and want to manage multiple self-hosted services from one configuration on their own server.
