Stacks

This directory holds stacks that are ready for deployment to standard container hosts. The installers will properly install to either Docker or Podman hosts. When installing to a Podman host, a systemctl service will also be set up for the pod so that the containers will start on boot.

FAQs

How do I install the stacks without running the whole setup?

You can run ./stacks/setup.sh to just install the stacks, or run an individual stack's install script directly, such as ./stacks/nginx-proxy-manager-install.sh.

How do I update the stacks with the latest version?

First, ensure your docker-host instance is using the latest code by navigating to its directory and running git pull.

For minor version bumps, you can stop the stack and reinstall it with the installer script and the --upgrade flag. This is not destructive; it will create containers using the same data/volumes you had already set up.

Example: Stopping the stack

# On a Docker host, just use docker-compose:
docker-compose -f stacks/nginx-proxy-manager.yml down
# On a Podman host, you should use systemctl:
systemctl stop nginxproxymanager

Example: Reinstalling the stack with the --upgrade flag

./stacks/nginx-proxy-manager-install.sh --upgrade

This will automatically pull the latest version of the images while reinstalling.
