Custom Portainer Configurations

This repository contains my personal Portainer configuration files and templates used to deploy and manage containers and stacks with Portainer.

Purpose

This repo holds reusable, opinionated configurations for Portainer including stack templates, compose files, and custom settings I use across projects and environments. It exists to:

• Keep Portainer templates and example stacks in a single place
• Make it easy to reuse, version, and share configurations across machines
• Provide a reference for how I structure and deploy services via Portainer

What's Included

• stacks/ - Docker Compose stack files and examples for common services
• templates/ - Portainer app templates (JSON/YAML) for easy import
• README.md - This document explaining the repo's purpose and usage

If any of these folders are not present yet, they may be created over time as I add configurations.

How to Use

1. Browse the templates/ and stacks/ folders to find a stack or template you want to run.
2. In Portainer, go to Stacks or App Templates and either paste the Compose file or import the template JSON.
3. Adjust environment variables and volumes to match your host environment.
4. Deploy and monitor through the Portainer UI.

Notes:

• These files are intended as starting points. Always review and adapt them before deploying to production.

Contributing / Customizing

• To add a new stack or template, create a new file under stacks/ or templates/ and open a pull request.

License

These configurations are for personal use. If you want to reuse or adapt them, feel free to do so — consider adding a license file if you plan to share broadly.
