Dokploy Open Source Templates

This is the official repository for the Dokploy Open Source Templates.

How to add a new template

  1. Fork the repository
  2. Create a new branch
  3. Add the template to the blueprints folder (docker-compose.yml, template.yml)
  4. Add the template metadata (name, description, version, logo, links, tags) to the meta.json file
  5. Add the logo to the template folder
  6. Commit and push your changes
  7. Create a pull request (PR)
  8. Every PR will automatically deploy a preview of the template to Dokploy.
  9. if anyone want to test the template before merging it, you can enter to the preview URL in the PR description, and search the template, click on the Template Card, scroll down and then copy the BASE64 value, and paste in the advanced section of your compose service, in the Import section or optional you can use the preview URL and paste in the BASE URL when creating a template.

Optional

If you want to run the project locally, you can run the project with the following command:

cd app
pnpm install
pnpm run dev
go to http://localhost:5173/

Example

Let’s suppose you want to add the Grafana template to the repository.

  1. Create a new folder inside the blueprints folder named grafana
  2. Add the docker-compose.yml file to the folder
version: "3.8"
services:
  grafana:
    image: grafana/grafana-enterprise:9.5.20
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - grafana-storage:/var/lib/grafana
volumes:
  grafana-storage: {}
  1. Add the template.yml file to the folder, this is where we specify the domains, mounts and env variables, to understand more the structure of template.yml you can read here Template.yml structure
variables:
  main_domain: ${domain}

config:
  domains:
    - serviceName: grafana
      port: 3000
      host: ${main_domain}
  env: []
  mounts: [] 
  1. Add the meta.json file to the folder
{
  "id": "grafana",
  "name": "Grafana",
  "version": "9.5.20",
  "description": "Grafana is an open source platform for data visualization and monitoring.",
  "logo": "grafana.svg",
  "links": {
    "github": "https://github.com/grafana/grafana",
    "website": "https://grafana.com/",
    "docs": "https://grafana.com/docs/"
  },
  "tags": [
    "monitoring"
  ]
},
  1. Add the logo to the folder
  2. Commit and push your changes
  3. Create a pull request

Template.yml structure

Dokploy use a defined structure for the template.yml file, we have 4 sections available:

  1. variables: This is where we define the variables that will be used in the domains, env and mounts sections.
  2. domains: This is where we define the configuration for the template.
  3. env: This is where we define the environment variables for the template.
  4. mounts: This is where we define the mounts for the template.
variables:
  main_domain: ${domain}
  my_domain: https://my-domain.com
  my_password: ${password:32}
  any_helper: ${you-can-use-any-helper}
config:
  domains: # Optional
    - serviceName: grafana # Required
      port: 3000 # Required
      host: ${main_domain} # Required
      path: / # Optional

  env: # Optional
    - AP_HOST=${main_domain}
    - AP_API_KEY=${api_key}
    - AP_ENCRYPTION_KEY=${encryption_key}
    - AP_JWT_SECRET=${jwt_secret}
    - AP_POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${postgres_password}

  mounts: # Optional or []
    - filePath: /content/file.txt
      content: |
        My content

Important: you can reference any variable in the domains, env and mounts sections. just use the ${variable_name} syntax, in the case you don’t want to define a variable, you can use the domain, base64, password, hash, uuid, randomPort or timestamp helpers.

Helpers

We have a few helpers that are very common when creating a template, these are:
