DockIY

  • From: 2024
  • Until: now

DockIY is a minimal & open source DIY Docker setup meant for deploying several web apps to a single server. You own 100% of the code — no black magic, fully extensible and customizable.

The philosophy is simple: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

The setup includes:

  • Traefik for reverse proxy and SSL
  • Umami for self-hosted analytics
  • Dozzle for viewing container logs
  • Beszel for monitoring and notifications

Key principles:

  • As simple as possible — beszel for monitoring instead of a complex cadvisor/prometheus/grafana stack
  • No third-party platforms — unlike Coolify or Dokploy, you own and control all the code
  • Infrastructure as code — preview your entire VPS setup locally with docker-compose.override.yml
  • DIY deployments — deploy with a single script from a local build, no CI/CD dependency required
