Awesome Hostess

Example stacks you can deploy with Hostess, the Docker Compose for production. Each directory is a self-contained module with a hostess.yml for deployment and a docker-compose.yml for local smoke testing.

Read the Hostess documentation for more information.

Quick start

Pick a stack, cd into its directory, then:

hostess validate
hostess deploy

To run the same layout locally:

docker compose up

Most stacks require secrets (API keys, passwords, encryption keys). Each module's README lists what to set with hostess secrets set command.

Layout

Every stack follows the same pattern:

• hostess.yml — services, databases, jobs, and secrets for Hostess
• docker-compose.yml — local mirror for development and smoke tests
• README.md — required secrets, deploy steps, and local URLs

Some stacks add seed jobs, custom images, or extra config (for example supabase/kong.yml or flowise/garage.toml). See the module README for details.

Contributing

Add a new directory with hostess.yml, docker-compose.yml, and a README that documents required secrets and how to run locally.
