mkdir -p docker/homepage
cd homepage
Create the Docker Compose File: Open a new file named docker-compose.yml using your favorite text editor:
nano docker-compose.yml
Add the Following Configuration:
services:
homepage:
image: ghcr.io/benphelps/homepage:latest
container_name: homepage
ports:
- 8001:3000
volumes:
- ./config:/app/config # Ensure your local config directory exists
- ./homepage/png:/app/png # Map the png folder for icons

restart: unless-stopped
Run the Service: Use the following command to start your homepage:
docker compose up -d && docker compose logs -f
