Help
When should I use this Docker Compose Generator?
Use this tool when you need to quickly prepare a Docker environment for Django, Flask, Node.js, or static site projects. Select the project type and services, then generate starter configuration files in one place.
Recommended Workflow
Start with a preset, then adjust the project name, domain, database name, and ports. You can copy each result directly or download the generated files as a ZIP package and place them in your project root.
Production Notes
The generated files are starter drafts. Before production deployment, review passwords, secret keys, domains, static/media paths, HTTPS settings, backup policy, and image versions for your actual project.
Can I use the generated docker-compose.yml as-is?
It can be used as a starting point, but you should review paths, environment variables, image versions, service names, and deployment requirements before using it in production.
Why is .env.example generated?
.env.example shows which environment variables are needed. Copy it to .env and replace placeholder values with real project values.
Should I expose the database port?
For local development it can be useful, but in production it is usually safer not to expose database or Redis ports directly to the outside.
Do I need Nginx?
Nginx is commonly used as a reverse proxy in production. It helps route requests to the application container and serve static or media files.
