## What it is
DockerComposeMaker (DCM) is a self-hostable web application that helps users build docker-compose.yml files by selecting from a curated catalog of popular self-hosted containers. It offers templates, sensible defaults, and one-click copy/share of generated configurations.

## Use cases
- generate a docker-compose.yml for my home server
- discover new self-hosted containers to run
- create a media server stack config with sonarr and radarr
- share my docker compose configuration with others
- avoid copy-pasting container configs from documentation
- use templates for common self-hosted app stacks

## When to choose
- you are setting up a home server or self-hosted stack and want a quick compose file
- you want to discover popular self-hosted apps with pre-configured best-practice defaults
- you prefer a visual picker over hand-writing YAML

## When to avoid
- you need advanced or highly customized compose features beyond the curated catalog
- you manage infrastructure at scale with tools like Kubernetes or Terraform
- you need offline generation without hosting or visiting the web app

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, configuration-management, self-hosted, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, self-hosted
