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
