Modular, reproducible Docker Compose infrastructure for self-hosted environments.
Designed to scale from a small setup to a fully structured homelab with clean separation between services, templates, and infrastructure layers.
This repository provides a structured approach to managing self-hosted services using Docker Compose.
Instead of maintaining large monolithic compose files, services are:
- isolated
- reusable
- environment-driven
- easy to extend
- Modularity first — one service per stack
- No hardcoded values — everything configurable via environment variables
- Separation of concerns — infrastructure, services, and templates are clearly split
- Reproducibility — consistent deployments across environments
- Scalability — designed to grow with the homelab

- Rapid deployment of new services
- Consistent configuration across stacks
- Clean separation between configuration and logic
- Easy migration between hosts or environments
This stack is designed to support common homelab services such as:
- Media management (Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr)
- Monitoring (Uptime Kuma, Grafana)
- Infrastructure tools (Portainer, reverse proxies)
- Automation pipelines
- Docker / Docker Compose
- Linux-based environments
- Environment-driven configuration
Actively evolving — focused on building a clean, scalable foundation for long-term homelab management.
Infrastructure should be predictable, reproducible, and easy to extend.
This repository is primarily for personal infrastructure, but ideas, improvements, and discussions are always welcome.
