## What it is
A curated cookbook of ready-to-run docker-compose recipes for self-hosted applications and services. Each recipe is a copy-paste docker-compose.yml with setup notes so users can deploy apps quickly.

## Use cases
- find docker-compose configs for self-hosted apps
- self-host services on my homelab server
- quickly deploy apps with docker-compose
- learn how to self-host popular software
- get copy-paste compose files instead of writing my own

## When to choose
- you want tested, ready-to-run docker-compose recipes for self-hosting
- you're setting up a homelab and want curated app configs
- you prefer copy-paste compose files over reading each project's docs

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade deployment tool with orchestration
- you want a GUI for managing self-hosted apps
- you need Kubernetes manifests rather than docker-compose

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, self-hosted, developer-tools
- domain: self-hosted, documentation, awesome-lists
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: docker-compose, recipes, homelab, awesome-list, devops, docker, linux
