Setting Up Homepage with Docker Compose¶
Introduction to Homepage¶
Homepage is a customizable start page or dashboard for your browser, designed to provide quick access to your frequently used websites, services, and tools.
Docker Compose Configuration for Homepage¶
This Docker Compose setup deploys the Homepage application in a Docker container, allowing you to have a personalized start page for your browsing experience.
Docker Compose File (docker-compose.yml)¶
version: "3.3"
services:
homepage:
image: ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage:latest
container_name: homepage
ports:
- 3000:3000
volumes:
- ./config:/app/config # Make sure your local config directory exists
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro # (optional) For docker integrations
Key Components of the Configuration¶
Service: Homepage¶
- Image:
ghcr.io/gethomepage/homepage:latestis the Docker image used for Homepage. - Ports:
3000:3000maps port 3000 on the host to port 3000 in the container, where the Homepage web interface is accessible.- Volumes:
./config:/app/config: Maps a local configuration directory to the container's configuration directory./var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro: (Optional) Allows Homepage to integrate with Docker, provided read-only.
Docker socket mount is optional
Mounting the Docker socket (/var/run/docker.sock) grants Homepage read access to Docker daemon metadata. This is only needed for the Docker integration widget. Remove this volume line if you don't need it.
Deploying Homepage¶
- Ensure that the local
./configdirectory exists and contains your configuration files. - Save the Docker Compose configuration in a
docker-compose.ymlfile. - Run
docker compose up -dto start Homepage in detached mode. - Access Homepage by navigating to
http://<host-ip>:3000.
Configuring and Using Homepage¶
The Homepage configuration lives in the ./config directory. Key files:
services.yaml— define your service tiles and widget integrationsbookmarks.yaml— add bookmark groups and linkssettings.yaml— global layout, title, and appearance settings
