The ultimate self-hosted Docker stack builder. A web-based wizard that lets you select from 186+ apps, configure paths and credentials, preview your generated Docker Compose setup live, and download a ready-to-deploy bundle — all client-side, no server required.

Features

186+ self-hosted apps across 22 categories (media, automation, AI, games, security, monitoring, and more)
Visual app selection with categories, descriptions, and GitHub links
OS-aware defaults — paths adjust for Linux, macOS, or Windows
Live compose preview — see docker-compose.yml, .env, and setup.sh update as you select apps
Auto-linking setup script — post-deploy script wires services together via APIs (Prowlarr→Sonarr/Radarr, download clients, root folders)
Tailscale integration — optional remote access with sidecar container, subnet routing, and Funnel support
VPN routing — Gluetun routes download client traffic through your VPN automatically
Compose Analyser — paste an existing docker-compose.yml to get security, performance, and best-practice recommendations
Download bundle — zip containing compose + .env + setup.sh + README
Dark theme, responsive — works on desktop and mobile
Zero backend — everything runs in your browser via vanilla JS + Vite

Quick Start

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/stackpilot.git
cd stackpilot
npm install

# Development
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build
# Output in dist/ — deploy anywhere (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, nginx, etc.)

How It Works

Select your OS — paths auto-adjust (Linux/macOS/Windows)
Pick your apps — browse 22 categories, click to select, use "Select all" per category
Configure — paths, timezone, Tailscale options
Preview — live tabs show docker-compose.yml, .env, and setup.sh
Download — get a zip bundle ready to deploy
Deploy — docker compose up -d && ./setup.sh

The Compose Analyser

Switch to "Compose Analyser" mode to paste any existing docker-compose.yml and get instant feedback:

Errors — port conflicts, missing images, invalid structure
Warnings — :latest tags, no restart policy, exposed database ports, privileged containers, docker socket access
Suggestions — healthchecks, resource limits, log rotation, secret management, network isolation, depends_on conditions

Auto-Linking

The generated setup.sh script handles post-deploy wiring:

Prowlarr → Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr — syncs indexers automatically
qBittorrent/Transmission/Deluge → Arr apps — adds as download client
Root folders — configures media paths in each Arr app
Health checks — waits for all services before attempting links
VPN routing — download clients automatically route through Gluetun when selected

Tech Stack

Vite — fast dev/build
Vanilla JS — no framework, minimal bundle size
js-yaml — compose generation and parsing
JSZip — client-side zip creation
