For security, I implemented CrowdSec multi-server setup in 2022. From the stats, it is blocking/mitigating well over 600 intrusion attempts per day on my servers. I will cover this in a separate guide later but you will find the docker-compose CrowdSec, Traefik Bouncer, and Cloudflare Bouncer Bouncers in my repo already.

I have 5 docker hosts. I sync all my Docker stacks using Syncthing and push the files to GitHub so I can share with the community.
- docker-compose-hs.yml: Docker Compose for Home Server on Ubuntu Server Proxmox LXC Container.
- docker-compose-mds.yml: Docker Compose for Media/Database Server on Ubuntu Server Proxmox LXC Container.
- docker-compose-dns.yml: Docker Compose for AdBlock/ DNS Server on Raspberry Pi 4B.
- docker-compose-ws.yml: Docker Compose for Web Server on Digital Ocean VPS, which powers this website.
- docker-compose-ds918.yml: Docker Compose for Synology DS918+ NAS.
Syncing also allows me to have a backup of one system's configuration file in all the other hosts. For this reason, where applicable, I segregate or name files/folders with their hostname (for example: hs for Home Server).
Almost any app/service from the docker-compose files listed above can be copy-pasted to any other compose file in this repo.
Files and folders inside archives are not actively maintained. But they may still provide a good starting point.
The apps I use are scattered around in several different docker-compose files. Click the links below for specific installation guides.
Some apps are used in more than one host and some on only one.

I use bash_aliases to simplify starting and stopping containers/stack. Included in the repo is an example of bash_aliases I use (replace USER with your Linux username).
Download it to a known location (e.g. /home/user/docker/shared/config/). Then add the following code block to .bashrc file in the user's home folder.
if [ -f "$HOME/docker/shared/config/bash_aliases" ]; then
. $HOME/docker/shared/config/bash_aliases
fi
Here are some example alias commands:
dcup- Start Docker Traefik 2 stackdcdown- Stop Docker Traefik 2 stackdcrec- Start or recreate a specific service or the full stackdcstop- Stop a specific service or the full stackdcrestart- Restart a specific service or the full stackdclogs- See real-time logs for the corresponding stack or servicedcpull- Pull new images for the corresponding stack or service
