🐳 Ultimate Docker-Traefik Repo by Anand

Real-world Docker configurations from Anand at SimpleHomelab.com (formerly SmartHomeBeginner.com)

🎯 What This Repository Offers

This repository contains my actual production Docker setups that power my homelab infrastructure. Unlike theoretical guides, these are real-world configurations that I use daily.

My setup is based on Deployrr and Ultimate Docker Media Server series.

🎯 Repository Purpose

Share actual setups - Real configurations I use in production
Extend Deployrr capabilities - Examples beyond standard Deployrr templates

🖥️ Infrastructure Overview

I believe in simple, energy-efficient homelab design that maximizes performance while minimizing complexity.

🏠 Networking Architecture

OPNsense home firewall running on Proxmox VM (DMZed on ISP router)
Tailscale mesh networking connecting all hosts

📊 Hardware Specifications

| Component | Specifications | Purpose | |-----------|---------------|---------| | TopTon V700 Mini PC | Intel i7-13800H, 64GB RAM, 2×2TB NVMe ZFS RAID1, 4TB SATA SSD | Proxmox host that runs my Home Server, Media/Database Server, Home Assistant, Proxmox Backup Server, etc. | | Synology DS918+ | DX517 Expansion Unit, 8GB RAM, 4×18TB SHR2 (×2 volumes) | Primary use is storage. But I tinker with Docker on it. | | Oracle Ampere A1 | 4 vCPU ARM64, 24GB RAM, 200GB storage | Web server and automations |

🐳 Docker Hosts

All Docker configurations are organized by host with clear naming conventions. I pool them together and push them to this repository.

🏠 Home Server (prefix/suffix: `hs`)

Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LXC on Proxmox
Resources: 8 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 4GB Swap
Storage: 64GB OS + 32GB Docker data
Purpose: Core homelab services and support my tinkering habits

🎬 Media Database Server (prefix/suffix: `mds`)

Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LXC on Proxmox  
Resources: 12 vCPU, 12GB RAM, 4GB Swap
Storage: 64GB OS + 72GB Docker data
Purpose: Media servers and databases - Separate so they are not affected by my tinkering

🌐 Web Server (prefix/suffix: `ws-arm`)

Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 on Oracle Cloud
Resources: 4 vCPU, 24GB RAM
Storage: 100GB OS + 100GB data
Purpose: Web Server (Nginx, PHP-FPM 8, WordPress, etc.), n8n, Flowise, and more

💾 Synology NAS (prefix/suffix: `ds918`)

Platform: DSM 7.X
Resources: 8GB RAM, DX517 Expansion Unit, Volume1 - 4x18TB SHR2, Volume 2 - 4x18TB SHR2
Purpose: I use this only for tinkering with Docker

⚡ Quick Start Commands

🎯 Essential Docker Aliases

I use Bash Aliases installed via Deployrr for streamlined Docker management:

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | dcup | Start Docker stack | | dcdown | Stop Docker stack | | dcrec | Start or recreate specific service/full stack | | dcstop | Stop specific service/full stack | | dcrestart | Restart specific service/full stack | | dclogs | View real-time logs for stack/service | | dcpull | Pull new images for stack/service |
