Deployrr

Deployrr is a homelab deployment automation tool that streamlines setting up and operating Docker and Docker Compose applications. It focuses on repeatable stack deployment, guided configuration, and opinionated integrations for networking and security in a home server environment.

Key Features

• Large catalog of pre-configured applications and stacks for one-click style deployment
• Automated environment setup with system checks to validate prerequisites
• Reverse proxy and networking automation (Traefik configuration, exposure modes, multi-domain and multi-server support)
• Security-focused options such as Docker socket proxy patterns and CrowdSec integration
• Multiple authentication integration options (including common OIDC-based providers)
• Stack management UI for deploying, updating, and managing containerized services
• Backup and restore automation for supported stacks
• Remote share mounting support for common protocols (SMB, NFS) and rclone-based mounts
• Monitoring and logging integrations for deployed services

Use Cases

• Rapidly bootstrap a new homelab host or VM with a standardized Docker Compose setup
• Deploy and manage a curated set of popular homelab apps behind a reverse proxy with consistent conventions
• Rebuild or recover a homelab environment using automated stack deployment plus backups

Limitations and Considerations

• DNS challenge provider support is limited to Cloudflare for automated certificate flows
• Some deployments require ports 80/443 to be reachable for typical reverse-proxy and certificate scenarios
• Certain apps with external database dependencies may require manual database cleanup during removal

Deployrr is best suited for users who want a guided, automated path to running many common homelab services with consistent defaults. It reduces the manual effort of wiring together Compose stacks, networking, and security options while keeping Docker as the underlying runtime.
