Docker Manager

Templates

Templates are ready-made setups for popular software. Pick one, check the settings, and it runs.

The Templates page: a template of your own first, then built-in apps like AdGuard Home and Adminer.

Docker Manager comes with 53 templates in 15 categories, including:

  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, InfluxDB
  • Web servers: Nginx, Apache HTTP Server, Caddy, Traefik, Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, Uptime Kuma, cAdvisor, Dozzle, Netdata
  • Development and automation: Gitea, GitLab CE, Jenkins, Code Server, n8n, Node-RED
  • Home and media: Home Assistant, Jellyfin, Plex, Nextcloud, FileBrowser
  • Security and networking: Vaultwarden, Authentik, WireGuard, Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Cloudflare Tunnel
  • And more: RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, NATS, Elasticsearch, Meilisearch, Adminer, pgAdmin, phpMyAdmin, WordPress, Ghost, Watchtower, Diun, Mailpit

Most are single containers. Nine are Compose stacks (Authentik, WireGuard, Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, Cloudflare Tunnel, Apache Kafka, Mongo Express, WordPress and Watchtower).

Use a template

Section titled “Use a template”
  1. Open Templates. Narrow the list with Type (All, Containers, Stacks or Yours), a category, or the search box.
  2. Choose Use template on the one you want.
  3. You get the new container or new stack form, filled in. Replace any placeholder values, like passwords; for container templates that have them, the page reminds you.
  4. Check the settings and create it.

A template’s menu also links to the software’s Documentation, when it has some.

Make your own

Section titled “Make your own”

To save a setup you use often:

  1. Choose New template, or Duplicate on an existing one to start from it.
  2. Give it a Name and Description, and choose Single container or Compose stack.
  3. For a container, fill in the Image, and optionally Ports (8080:80,53:53/udp), Environment (NAME=value, comma separated) and Volumes (data:/data). For a stack, paste the Compose file.

Your templates are marked yours and can be edited and deleted from their menu. The built-in ones can only be duplicated.

Templates can also be defined in the configuration file.
